If it is a problem, Slysoft will fix it. If they have the .ifo files as you say, my bet is that they are working on it as we speak.

We probably won't know better until the dvd is officially released.

People have purchased brand new copies of movies before, had problems with anydvd/ clonedvd2, returned the discs (they looked flawless and in some cases played fine in dvd players), and the exchanged copies worked. So even if the discs appear to be brand new--and even if several people have problems with the same specific title, the real problem can still be a quality control issue. When this occurs, the issue is very difficult to diagnose at times.

It's possible Anydvd still needs to be updated to address Region 1 Saw 3, but I think Slysoft thought this issue was fixed already. Take a look at these posts:

Dear Webslinger:
I have the same guestion like you
I also think AnyDVD 6.1.0.7 already fiexed Saw 3 backup problem..

It could be exactly as Webslinger has said. There have been bad source discs on alot of titles recently, I would try another disc.

Sorry to disapoint but have popped to a freind who received his genuine copy of the movie this morning from www.dvdworldusa.com a different supplier to me and the exact same thing happens when you try and back his up and I have trawled through another forum and it is another sony Arccos protection based on unreadable Sectors thats causing the problem this is a first for me never in 4/5 years have I failed to back up a dvd regarless of region.
These dvd's are official dvd's these are genuine region 1 dvd's released by the movie industry to the american public.

Well if you truely believe there is a scheme going on disable anydvd and then gather all the IFO's and send the ziped IFO's to sysoft but I willing to believe that it is a bad source disc, did your friend get his copy at the same place....Sounds like he did. I ran into this problem a while back and getting a new source disc from the same supplier was an endless battle.

No I did not get my dvd from the same place as my mate I use a different company I own in excess of 750 original dvd and 90% are region1 I would say 50% are bought from the same company as i bought saw 3 never had a problem with any other dvd I own but saw 3 is certainly well protected from anydvd at present ifo already sent to slysoft.
I do not post much as I have never felt the need to as I have always managed to make a full working back up of all my movies no problem I have been doing this for along time now and finally one has hit me which seems to be very well protected I have even tried some of the early methods that I tried years ago smart ripper, ifoedit tmpeg etc etc but no luck.

try here many have same problem

It's possible that Slysoft needs to take a look at this title again. /shrug

But we probably won't know for sure until we get closer to the official release date.

From what I hear this DVD has 99 VTSs and would be the first one I seen with that many in R1 US. I hafta wait for the 23rd also to get this title too

scrim
so copy movie only to get a working backup and to protect your original
and you still have the original if you occasionally want to watch the extras

already done a movie only for that purpose there is no problem doing just that but I always like to do full back up's

maybe a foreign R1 disk has protection dissimilar to a R1 disk actually sold in the USA

ie a sold in UK region1 Saw3 might have different protection from a sold in USA region1 Saw3
just a thought

cannot see it but you never know saw 3 come from Philadelphia USA

What are those??

OK people have finally found a way in and got myself a full working copy to do this I had to exit anydvd then ran ripit4me with dvd decrypter then used fixvts to sort out the extra vts on the disc then used good old clone dvd to to make the actual image to burn back to dvd.

Yes they just popped out an update in the past 48 hours?????? So it could do this movie. Slysoft is working on it, and like I said on another forum can't really offer too much help considering this movie isn't in general population just yet for the most of us.

Well, if Slysoft isn't, based on scrim1's solution with Ripit4me/Fixvts, Slysoft probably should be. I guess Anydvd doesn't work on a full disc backup of Saw3 yet. I'm sure James will fix this.

I wonder what happens if you just run FixVTS on a drag and drop Windows Explorer rip of Saw 3 (with Anydvd running).

We can hope.

Good question.

They've never let us down before. Slysoft usually fixes stuff pretty quickly.


The reason I mention this is because the version of FixVTS that's incoporated into Anydvd ripper hasn't been updated for awhile--while the standalone version of FixVTS has just been updated very recently. So, in order to test this properly, no one should be using Anydvd ripper. After dragging and dropping the video_ts folder to your desktop using Anydvd, try running that folder you just ripped through FixVTS 1.603.

Thank you Les for that info, I realize that UK disks sold locally there are R2 pal disks, but OP mentioned mailorder/internet order
What I meant was and now add is maybe mailorder RI disks to countries outside USA and Canada may have a diferent sector protection.
I maybe reaching here, was just a thought as some R2 disks have variant protections base on market disk is sold in maybe R1 does too

Also I don't believe the OP asked for alternate AD programs

Please Re-read the post
I am sure you will figure it out

That may be in your experience,
but here the OP was asking specifically for help with AnyDVD
(higher case A)
As pertainaing to your comments about rippers needing to evolve to handle all the new stuff, you are absolutely right

@Scrim
it would not hurt to resend the .IFOs to Slysoft
if they are the same, no harm done
if different will help SS come up with a new update

Zaq,
I would tend to agree with Blutach's post #36 in this instance.
In post #30, where the OP, Scrim, did in fact state that he tried and was successful with another program. This statement would imply he was looking for any solution, regardless of program, IMHO.
