ISF Newbie (1/5)

  1. It's a really nasty kind of protection. I wouldn't even call it protection anymore. It's more like them ruining or spoiling what I bought and this kind of deceit makes me not want to buy discs anymore. I remember reading about a rootkit that Sony put on their CDs or whatever it was... are you kidding? We can't trust these people. So when I buy my next dvd or bluray what am I secretly getting along with it? Who knows. I feel like I'm a victim now. I don't think I deserve to have an imperfect copy of my disc #1. They did this to me and it bothers me the more I think about it. For this reason + the hope of a future way to repair it back to a clean 1:1, I'm keeping my messed up ISO as well as my newly created AnyDVD folder rip of it.
  2. Awesome, I think it's all sorted out now with your suggestion. I mounted the ISO and fired up AnyDVD which showed the SP detected. I ripped it to a folder and it seems to have stripped out the fake files. The folder came out the right size and has no duplicates. It plays fine in VLC as I can see the menu and select the episodes and all the extras. But with that being said, also the messed up ISO plays fine in VLC anyway. In the DVD folder that I ripped with AnyDVD I see the main VTS is now VTS_10 and I think on the original disc it was VTS_03 because my other DVDs from the set have it at VTS_03. However I can't check the damaged disc. Oh well, this is as good as it's gonna get. At least my backup wasn't totally lost even though it might not be a 1:1 perfect copy, it's still fine. BTW I never got any warnings from AnyDVD like you said simply because I never actually used the AnyDVD ripper. I just fire up AnyDVD in the background and then use imgburn most of the time or other ISO rippers. I never even look at AnyDVD, not even changing any settings. I just thought it always works in the background so that's my mistake. Yeah now I'm in the process of backing up the rest of the discs all over again the right way this time. Plus also checking through my other backups because I wonder if I messed up with other ones too. But now I learned to rip to folders! That's what I'll be doing from now on. I never even knew about this difference between ISO's and folders. I'm just gonna keep my backups in the folder format.
  3. I should have been more clear. This is a DVD of a TV show that I backed up many years ago. I keep ISO backups on a hard drive of all my DVDs just in case. Then yesterday my original DVD got damaged and so I'm looking at my backup now for the first time in years and I find this fake files in the ISO. It's strange because I never saw it before. I used AnyDVD back then, but it was so long ago that I guess AnyDVD didn't handle the protection correctly at that time. So now I have this ISO which I guess is not a 1:1 perfect copy? What I want to accomplish is to somehow get it back to normal? Is it at all possible so fix this so I have a perfect copy? I don't even have a dvd burner anymore with my new computer. I'll have to see if I can get an external one. Should I burn it and then create a new ISO out of the burned copy? Would that fix it? I wonder. If I burn it, will it even be a perfect copy of the original? In the end I just want a perfect copy for backup. Aha! So at least there is a name for it. Structural protection. It's so horrible that they do this. Do they expect the DVD I bought will last forever? We gotta have backups! So I'm hoping for a solution now to get this back to normal. My original disc is damaged and the only time I ever look at my backups is when I need them. And now when I need the backup I find this. I'd appreciate any advice if there is a way to repair it.
  4. Hello. I have the same exact problem as this guy had 6 year ago: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/15693-iso-contains-multiple-phantom-duplicate-files/ In fact, while searching for a solution to this problem I found that topic which describes my problem exactly. I wanted to reply there but it says I'm not allowed to reply there. Probably because it's a 6 year old thread. Anyway, that problem was never resolved for him 6 years ago. But maybe in all this time there is a solution now? My ISO is around 7GB. But extracted it is about 80GB! The 1st set of VTS files seem to be correct but then there are like 10 duplicates shown listed as VTS_02 through about VTS_13 What a strange problem. I hope there is a solution in this day and age. Thanks anyone!
