dvdfabv5 worked when dvdfabv6 and v7 failed

[zambi]

When I loaded Private's Matador 14 dvd into DVDFab7 (v7070) it scanned the
dvd and reported the size as only being 157MB? Tried the same thing with
DVDFab6 (v6022) and it reported the size as only 221MB? But when I tried
DVDFab5 (v5076) it correctly scanned the entire dvd and reported the size
as 5801MB. It was also able to copy the entire DVD to disk correctly, while
DVDFabv6 and v7 only copied the number of bytes reported above.

I used command shell on Windows to list the DVD's contents and saw a bunch
of non-dvd files in addition to the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories. The
non-dvd files looked like files you would see for a install dvd (e.g. launch.exe,
htmls, img, etc). I think this somehow confuses DVDFabv6 and v7.
Unfortunately I don't have the dvd anymore, I sold it.

Note: That dvd was produced back in 2002 when Private would put
Windows program files on the disk so when you loaded it on your PC is
would autorun a program. In my case I have autorun disabled. So I think
you can recreate this problem with any DVD that has program files on it
in addition to VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.

Did you try 6 & 7 with Pathplayer disabled.

Don't know what is Pathplayer?
What does it do?
How can you tell if its enabled?
How can you disable it?

Unfortunately I don't have the DVD anymore. But if I can find another
old Private DVD with similar formatting I'll try it.

thanks

Please spend some time on the tutorial and browsing/searching this forum before asking such a BASIC, BASIC question.
There must be literally hundreds of posts on this subject.

We ARE here to help you but you also have to be prepared help yourself a little.

If you think this is harsh, I suggest that you try a similar support question with Micro$oft for comparison.
