Hi all,

i am needing help with a dvd i have received. The DVD is a video catalogue from a supplier and is not copyrighted, i am trying to convert the dvd to avi so i can extract the clips of products i am ordering for use on an instore TV. I have done this previously with older catalogues and resulted in great success.

However this years one is causing problems. When i first insert the dvd into my PC it takes longer than usual to load, instead of the DVD playback and interaction being quick like with normal DVDs there is a very noticeable delay. When i open the dvd in windows explorer to copy & paste out the VOB files, again windows takes a long time to process even click and highlight commands from the mouse and the disc is spinning away loudly in the drive. Very often the computer completely freezes on me. When i finally can highlight the VOB files and copy them to the hard drive i receive an error very quickly stating a cyclic redundancy error.

When i load the disc up using CD burner XP in data disc mode i get a pop up saying that the disc has multiple sessions and would i like to ignore or continue them. If i continue i can see the TS folders, and can open them to see the files but the folders are in red and the files inside them have plain white icons with red squares on them. I have tried copying the disc to HD as an ISO using copy mode but it fails giving an error.

It is occurring on multiple PCs, XP 32bit and Win7 64bit.

Can anybody offer any help? I am assuming it has something to do with the multiple sessions?

Thanks.
 
Sounds like it - or the disk was not closed correctly.

I'd be tempted to try and image the disk to an ISO, remount in a virtual drive and try again
 
I have two copies of the disc so its not physical damage. Also i have tried closing it and ripping to ISO with CD Burner XP, both times it gives an error thats its not a compatible disc. I really can not get my head around what they have done to burn the disc this way.
