Rental Magica

[TwilightChrono]

I went out and bought the Rental Magica DVD's, but alas, just like all the other newer animes that are getting released, DVD Decrypter can't rip them.

I was curious if anyone has found a way to rip these. What are the programs you se to rip the newer anime's that are released? DVDFab and all the other one mentioned to me in my previous threads are no good either.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really want to edit with it but can't find anyway to rip em.

AFAIK DVDDecrypter in IFO mode and manual selection of the proper PGCs and chapters was the way to deal with them... not sure if somebody can confirm and I never had my hand on any of these DVDs to be able to tell for sure.

Thanks for the reply mirk. I always use IFO mode but I am not too sure how to deal with the chapter bit. Don't know what ticking and unticking the chapters boxes really does.

As for the IFO bit, whenever t started to read the DVD's it will stop on a certain IFO for like 1 minute then give me an error message about failing to read the IFO or something like that. it would go either all the way to IFO 3 or IFO 6 Before starting to give me these problems. It happens with a lot of the newer DVD's that I have including FMA Brotherhood.

I have a ton of new anime's that I wish to edit with but can't due to these problems.

Sorry for the double post but the same goes for my Air DvD's. I got the entire collection and for some reason it won't read it. Basically the same problem I'm having with Rental Magica and the other ones.

Not sure about the ripping problems but as far as how to use the chapter tickboxes, each box corresponds to a chapter and each PGS tree is a title. Select the title you want, select the chapters you want, then on the stream processing tab set the audio stream to demux (if you want it), and hit go. DVDDecrypter will then create new vobs with only the chapters you wanted in the order they are, and if you have chapter output enabled it will generate a chapter text file for you in OGG format. It's useful for doing full episode rips with ordered chapters because you don't need to crop out the OP/ED and figure out frame specifics and mess with audio that way, and it's easy to insert creditless OP/ED as well. Also lets you get small sections of chapters if need be.

That said, Rental Magica is awesome. A Guy I Know made a MAD a while back in the same way the Rental Magica OP is done, only with Umineko. I wish A Certain Someone had finished with his DVD rips though, great series.

I've seen some of these disks work with DVDfab. Though I've also seen them not work with it as well. For me, the only work around I've found to allow newer DVDs (and BDs) to be rip-able is to use anyDVD and then use decrypter or DVDFab to do the ripping.

That's the only fix I know of. I've been using it for the last year or so now and haven't had a problem. Just tried it on the Slayer's Revolution/Evolution disks and it works fine.
