Clone DVD by ELBY

Clone DVD by Elby looks good but when you try to use it to copy a DVD movie it won't work. I get an error message stating that it will not copy copyrighted material due to the Css protection. Why put out a product that can't work? Am I missing something here? Is there a way around this nonsense?

DVDXCOPy Xpress v2.51 works flawlessly.

It works well with DVDDecrypter, also will make true 1:1 copies of non protected DVD's....ie Instinct To Kill. I love this program. Lets me keep all extra features and still fit it on 1 4.7 Gb DVD-R

Okay, I ripped the DVD to hard drive

Thank you for the info. I ripped the movie to the hard drive and ran clone dvd. But clone dvd says it can't open an ifo file(that's not even on the original) so it won't work. Maybe if I crossed my fingers and stood on one leg while wearing an aluminum foil hat it would work.

DVD X Copy Xpress works flawlessly with no muss and no fuss.

It will work. ;)

What you have to do is use DVD Decrypter in file mode as you have been doing but you then have to select ALL files to rip to your HD. Click on "edit" > "select all files".

When ripped Clone will now be able to use the files.

I was getting the same thing that all DVD's were CSS encrypted. I like using smart ripper 2.41 to get files to HD. I'll try it then. Thanks guys for the info.

Hi Guys,

Complete DVD Ripping/Burning Noob here :)

I read through the forums and decided to give DVD Decrypter and Clone DVD a go as my method of choice for making copies of my movie DVD's as this seems to be a popular option :)

Now, I placed my commercial movie DVD into my DVD Burner and used DVD Decrypted to rip it to my Hard Drive. Following the advice of a poster above I did it in File mode and selected ALL files. Sweet, worked a treat, created a directory on my hd with the volume label of the DVD, then a Video_TS subdirectory with about 3.9 Gb worth of files in it. All seemed well.

I then loaded up Clone DVD, wasn't really sure what to select so I selected Clone DVD then pointed it to the above mentioned directory. I clicked in the preview pane and it was showing the movie fine (albeit with no menu but I'm thinking its because the movie must have been selected in one of the other panes). So basically I went through the windows and told it to burn it.

About an hour later that tray ejects and Clone DVD says its Burnt Successfully.

Now however, the DVD does not auto run, when I view the DVD in Windows Explorer there are no files in it, in a PC DVD-Rom it keeps saying please insert disc but when I look at the surface of the DVD I can see that data is burnt onto the DVD...

Where did I screw up??? :)

If there is a link to stupid people to show us step by step how to do it, I'd be muchly appreciative, or if you post some answers back here even better :)

Thanks in advance guys

Sorta good news :)

Burn crapped out, but luckily enough I'm testing my burning with a rewritable :) It crapped out about halfway through with an error, but importantly, the movie plays fine, with sounds, menu's etc right up to the point were it crapped out :)

So almost there, think I've got the settings and procedure OK, just musta been a hiccup on my puter.

Thanks for the assist so far guys :)

@Dread what is your set up? (OS H/W and all that stuff)
If you have any programs running in the back ground which are not related to your buring project disable them before you start your project.
Did you get a error message if so can you remember what it was?

Error reported is: (and this is a Clone DVD error message)

Writing to Video DVD was not Successful.
UDF 5 65536


That happens at 63%, 3 times now. I'm thinking that its not compressing the image size and therefore to large for the DVD? I thought Clone DVD did the compressing to fit it on 1 DVD? Did I miss ticking an option I wonder ...

Hmm I think I might try re-ripping it again this time dropping the menu's, extra audio etc then re-burning it.


Hardware: Athlon 1700, 256Mb DDR, 40Gb HD, WinXP Pro, as mentioned playing with DVDDecrypter (latest) and Clone DVD 1.1.7.1 using the movie Lilo and Stitch as my tester and using a DVD +RW (to save making expensive coasters). Umm I'mtrying to wrack my brains as to what brand DVD Writer I've got... :( Don't you hate that! let me gwet back to you, its OEM so I'll just have to pull it out to get a model number, I think it may be a Ricoh, but I do know its a +R, +RW

Woot!

Got my shit together now, thanks for the assists guys :) Backed up quite a few movies now :)

Gone for a process of:

DVD Decrypter to Rip to HD
DCS to Re-Encode/Compress (Very simple to use)
Clone DVD to Burn - although I've had some issues burning to DVD using this proggy, gets a few errors, last few I have done with plain old Nero with no problems, think I might give Clone DVD the boot and just use Nero methinks.

Thanks Again :)

I set DVD Decryptor to strip the DVD using "File Mode", then press ctrl+A to select all files, rip them to the HDD, usually C:\JOYRIDE\VIDEO_TS (example). Next, open Clone DVD and select "Copy DVD Titles", then point to the dir for the ripped files (as shown in example above), and select the "VIDEO_TS" folder. Once you do that, Everything will be shown in a new window, just click "next" in the bottom right corner. Make sure you have browsed the DVD beforehand to see what audio options are available, then select what type of encoding you want on your new movie under "Stream Preferences", and click "next". A new window will pop up and you will need to name the movie each time you use Clone DVD under "Volume label". Once you've done that, click next, sit back and relax - your'e on the way to a new DVD rip!! Enjoy!!

I posted this in response to a question asked earlier about almost the same thing - I think its a good tut, but then I've been wrong before....
