Run-time Error '6'.

[TheMadGuy]

What I came up with, stripper worked fine on vob files that were less than 2gb, I tried a vob file that was 2.8gb, and keep getting the "runtime 6 error," by the way it was an authored file done with canopus mpegcraft. Don't know if this helps or not.

Hi! and thnx 4 the info!
This indeed helps, i checked and stupid vb breaks on the 2gb barrier when executing non floating point devisions causing the runtime error 6. So DVDStripper throws this error when converting the filesize from bytes to KB if the file is larger then 2GB. I will replace this by a floating point operation ,which is a little slower but works just fine, in the next release of DVDStripper. That should solve this issue.

Greetnx

I am glad to hear that. Your work on this matter is very much appreciated by me and I am sure for others also.

error 6

Hi there!

I Had the same problem today.

Just deleting the registry entries of DVDstripper solced the problem.

If you don't know how to do this just don't do it.

Dont mess with the registry if you don't know what you are doing.

hey...just got around to checking this
will see if there is a new version out yet

thanks for all your help...btw..i got around this error just by using dvd shrink to do my job...seemed to be a problem with that dvd..likely due to number of files and sizes like you said

thanks

I ran into this also, for the first time. I code VB and can understand the issue. Looking forward to next release. Thanks for your hard work.

Runtime error 6 again

I got this error today. It seems this error has inflicted several people a while back. I'm curious if anyone has found a cure for it? Thanks.

Hi godus and welcome to the forums

how big are your VOB files?

this error seems to come from VOB's larger than 2GB

 

[godus]

Thanks, MarkemX,

I got this error when backing up Wizard Of Oz. The maximum size of the VOB file is one GB. Following the suggestion of someone, I uninstalled DVDStripper, cleaned up its keys from the registry, and reinstalled it. All to no avail! This is the second DVD that I use DVDStripper on. It worked beautifully on the first DVD. Thanks to the author for an excellent software (despite this error 6). I haven't tried it on another DVD to see if it'll continue to work or not.

run-time 6 error

If you look in your temp folder you'll see a vob that is 2gb or above. This is what's causing the error. Stripper doesn't like anything over a 2gb limit and if there's one present, it will always give you that error and not let you continue until you take it out. Just go into the folder and find the offending file, move it out of the folder and stripper will work again. If you look at the file you may find it to be something you don't need or want anyway like previews or directors comments, etc. you can just leave it out. Do this first to see if stripper works again before you regedit. If you need to, just delete the folder in the registry. The next time you start stripper it will make new entries on it's own. Usually if there is an error in the registry it will be because there is something wrong in with temp folders or application locations. Just fix these and everything should straighten itself out.
By the way, stripper works just fine with the newer decrypter. Although I seem to be having a problem with getting menu modder to run and open a file, in stripper or by itself.

When processing Wiz Of Oz, I don't remember seeing any VOB file larger than 2GB. I did notice that, in my temp folder, DVDStripper separated the DVD into 724 files, none of them too big. After the first error message, I cleaned up and ran DVDStripper again; still the same result. I don't know where that 2GB VOB come from but I didn't see it.

I've removed the files from the temp folder and lent my DVD to someone, so at the moment I can't do the stripping one more time to check on the existence of the 2GB VOB file.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

I also encountered the runtime 6 error today
and it was a 2gig file in the temp folder causing the problem
i'm not sure but the dvd i wanted to strip had well over 2gig of extras maybe DS doesnt allow that kinda size for extras?

Keep it under 2gig, seems anything more than 2gig, you get the
error 6 warning.

 

[ojopaj]

after hundreds of dvds, suddenly i'm getting this error too.

in the temp directory are 74 files, and NONE of the VOBs are anywhere near 2 gig.

what else could be causing this? when can we expect a fix?

addendum:

for what it's worth, for the heck of it I tried to DVD2One the temp directory, and it gave me the odd error of "Unable to open vobfileset -1" ... That's the first time I've seen a "-1", dunno if that might indicate something helpful.

thx,
ojo

Getting it too.
Would be so nice if you could fix it

Hi and welcome to the forums

try going into your registry using RegEdit and delete the DVDStripper folder

it's under Software/MXTMG/DVDStripper

you can use the Find command and look for DVDStripper. Delete the DVDStripper folder it finds and close RegEdit. It's best you Export the folder before deleting so if anything goes wrong you can add it back (or create a Restore point if you don't know how to export). When you start DVDStripper again it will create a new folder

It may help by flushing the system again

Didn't help anything...

 

[ojopaj]

yep, didn't help here either. i finally copied this disc just using dvddecrypter *without* dvdstripper and it worked fine. go figure. i guess we'll just never get an answer on this.

I'd be looking at my system if you had success with 100's of DVD's. I notice a few people have been using it and then all of a sudden it stops working. Take Lain, he reinstalled XP+SP1 and it stopped working but I wouldn't blame DS if I tried a DVD that worked before but now doesn't

if it's not the system then maybe it's the DVD structure as a few DVD's now have very complicated structures and maybe this is affecting how DS works when it tries to show the GUI

can I ask everyone this please?

did DS work before?
are people getting this error on every DVD now?
have you tried using DS on a DVD that worked before if it did?

unless I can test the same DVD on my system then I cannot really help much at the minute

 

[darkavalanche]

fix

When i had this error, I just deleted my registry and restarted DS. After that, i just selected the same folder that had just errored and it proceeded to load fine. I dunno but it worked for me

... I just deleted my registry and restarted DS. ...

you surely not deleted your registry; You try to say, you deleted the DVDStripper entries in your registry?
