Transformers 2 - Instructions to Make "Movie Only" Backup !!

[kelson]

If you find the procedure in post #1 does not work for you, it could very well be because your DVD burner (or reader) is being compromised by this new CP. I have three DVD burners on my system (Panasonic, LiteOn and LG). The procedure in post #1 only works on my LG burner. The Panasonic burner fails during the process and the LiteOn burner won't even recognize and mount the disk. All three of these burners typically work with FAB and it is very rare that one of my drives won't recognize a disk. Hence, what ever this new CP they are using is brutal.

Using ver 6.1.1.5 worked for me using the following Path Player disabled Preview off and chapter #47 Main movie only,( R1) got a perfect copy BTW some people have used other chapters as there about 3 different versions of this movie

Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for posting this. I always make copies for my children to use/watch and always just do the "movie" function. I'll post what "title" my disc uses and maybe we can get this thing narrowed down.

This is for all of the folks who are having difficultly backing up Transformers 2 DVD. This is a temp fix to at least give you a working back-up of the Movie ONLY until fengtao and his team have released a version of DVDFab to cope with this NEW protection.

!!!!! READ CAREFULLY !!!!!

First and MOST important

Play the ORIGINAL movie disc in either your soft-player (on computer) or your stand-alone DVD player. Play the disc until you get to the movie, make note of what Title # is displaying in the display window. Do a couple of "Next" to jump chapters and note how the chapters change, but make sure the Title # is still the same, this Title # is important for the next steps.

Download/Install DVDFab 6.1.1.8 Beta or later.

1. Start DVDFab
2. Select the Green check mark at the top to go to "Common Settings"
3. Select PathPlayer on the left
4. Under PathPlayer on the right pane, select "Disable PathPlayer" and select OK.
5. Back on DVDFab's main screen under DVD-to-DVD, select "Main Movie"
6. Now on the right pane where all the Titles appear you need to select the Title # you made note of from the ORIGINAL disc. Make sure that is the ONLY Title selected, deselect ALL others, then select the "Next" button at the bottom. Select "Start" and wait for it finish
7. Do as you normally do with the ripped files.

Note: I have read that others got some read errors, I did not, so I can't confirm, but select ignore read errors.

I suggest that you create an .iso and preview it on your computer before burning it to make sure you made it correctly !!!

Hope this helps EVERYONE who is have difficulty .... ENJOY !!!

EDIT: This was successful on making a Region 1 (R1) Movie Only backup, I would assume that this will work for other regions as well.
