Doesn't rip region 1!

Feedback Type: Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

MacTheRipper seems to simply be unable to rip Region 1 to a Region 2 dvd player! I use a 15" TiBook 1 GHz and all I get when I put in the disc in the internal drive is "READ ERROR! Can't open VMG info" and "I/O ERROR! Can't Read DVD Title Set Info". A friend of mine with a new 15" AlBook had the same problem: region 1 simply doesn't rip!

(I was about to ask this question on the MacThe Ripper forum (there is no faq and only one hit on vmg in their forum) but then I had to register. I have to many weird registration around the net already...)

Doesn't rip region 1! - Wise_Weasel

PowerBook DVD drives are unable to rip DVDs from other regions than the one they're set to. Certain models have some RPC1 (region-free) firmware available. For others, you must use a different DVD drive (such as an external FireWire one, or one on a different computer) to rip DVDs from other regions.

I'd love to hear if you found a solution!

I'd bought some DVDs via Amazon... and it turns out that they're this VMG format. I've downloaded ffmpegX, but there also seems to be something that disables the copying.
