Anydvd hd

[misterjohn]

Tenho uma versão desse programa que decripta o conteudo de um blu ray para o hd seja em forma de arquivos ou imagem, mas ela não deixa o windows xp "enxergar" tais arquivos; instalei uma outra que faz o contrário, não ripa o disco mas "libera" a imagem para que outros aplicativos possam ver e manipular já que o windows xp não dá suporte a esse formato.

Isso é típico da versão ou tem como mudar?

Qual seria a versão que faz as duas coisas?

Pelo o que eu entendi, um programa serve pra ripar e o outro para criar drive virtual. Não conheço programa que faça essas duas tarefas ao mesmo tempo.

[misterjohn]

Se eu não expliquei direito, vou melhorar a dissertação:

-A versão 6.8.9.0 do AnyDvd Hd faz a decryptação dos arquivos de BD tanto normal quanto em ISO, porém não deixa esses arquivos visiveis ao Windows XP, que não dá suporte para esse formato para não ter que pagar royalties ao desenvolvedor, é o que dizem, assim dependemos de programas como o anydvd para manipular arquivos de BD (Blu ray);

-Já a versão 7.0.2.0 do mesmo AnyDvd Hd faz o contrário, ela "deixa vísivel" os arquivos de BD para que os programas de terceiros possam interagir com eles, porém não decrypta os arquivos para o disco rígido;

Entendido até ai, conclue-se que a SlySoft, Inc. autora do programa possue diversas versões mas cada uma diferente da outra; ao invés de ir acrescentando funções, vai retirando já que versão 6.8.9.0 parece ser mais antiga do que a 7.0.2.0 por isso queria uma versão que fizesse as duas coisas.

Veja bem, qualquer windows reconhece ISO. É algum outro problema ai. Mas, reconhecer, não quer dizer que o windows ou outro programa vai conseguir rodar uma ISO. Esse já é um outro problema. Esse AnyDVD eu não conheço. Aqui em casa, eu uso o DVD Fab 8 e crio ISO do Blu-ray na integra(sem compressão alguma) e depois rodo a ISO com o Cyberlink 9 através do DAEMON(um drive virtual)

[misterjohn]

Eu uso o Tsmuxergui para eliminar partes que não interessa e depois recompor com as partes que interessam, também não há perda porque não há encodação; depois eu transformo o arquivo final em ISO com o ImgBurn ai é só gravar ou com o próprio ou qualquer outro como o Ashampoo, DVDFab, etc.

Mas se instalar a versão 7.0.2.0 ao colocar o disco de bd no driver no pc e ir em meu computador, voce irá ver no driver correspondente as pastas que compões o BD a BDMV e a CERTIFICATE. Jà com a versão 6.8.9.0 essas pastas não ficam visíveis.

Se voce não conhece ou não tem o anydvd hd voce não saberá do que estou falando.

Mexendo na pasta dele, descobri uma relação de todas as versões, agora basta saber um pouco de inglês para identificar o que faz o que desejo:

It is identical to FixVTS (http://www.videohelp.com/~FixVTS/) but instead

of fixing problems "in place" it copies the files to your harddisk directly

from the source DVD. It fixes the problems while the files are copied.

Some DVDs which have severe mastering defects e.g.,

are back again. But don't worry, when using AnyDVD it is safe to

ignore "Pack Header Error" warnings in DVDDecrypter.

- Added Brazilian language

- Added Korean language

- Updated other languages

unreadable Sectors"

If this option is checked, AnyDVD will change

the .IFO files on the DVD in a way, that a

copy program like Elaborate Bytes' CloneDVD

will not try to copy the bad sectors of a DVD

copy protection, and will be able to successfully

make a copy.

This makes it possible to create backups of Video DVDs

protected with ARccOS copy protection:

http://www.sonydadc.com/products.copy.arccos.go

Protected discs with this protection include

Wrestlemania 3+4 (UK), The Mission German, Gothika

German, and others.

Further the protection on Puppetlock type 1-3 will be

removed. This includes titles "Jim Knopf und Lukas,

der Lokomotivführer", "Urmel aus dem Eis", "Jim Knopf

und die Wilde 13", "Urmel im Schloss" (all German) and

others.

Bad sectors will be replaced with empty sectors,

so other copy programs (e.g., CloneCD 5, DVD Shrink,

Nero Recode, etc.) or simple file copy with Windows

Explorer will work, too.

You should enable this option, if you wish to copy

a DVD with CloneDVD, CloneCD 5 or a similar program.

Hum, acho que eu já falei contigo no forum antes. Olha, existe um princípio lógico chamado Navalha de Occam que diz que, quando existem várias formas de se explicar um fenômeno, a mais simples é a melhor. Por isso, acho que você devia pensar em fazer isso de outra forma. Eu, por exemplo, só uso dois programas. Um pra ripar a ISO e outro pra fazer drive virtual. Não to dizendo pra você seguir o mesmo caminho que eu. Cada um tem suas preferencias, mas seria melhor você simplificar um pouco o processo de ripagem de Blu-Ray ai.

[misterjohn]

Concordo com voce plenamente, e uso o método mais simples possível, ripar a ISO na íntegra não irá caber em uma mídia padrão (25 GB) e as DL de 50 GB além de serem mais caras, tive uma má experiência em DVD-DL.

Mais simples do que eu faço impossível, ripo para o hd com o anydvd hd ou DVDFAB (este já tem opção de ripar apenas o que quer); caso use o primeiro recurso (anydvd hd) basta usar o tsmuxerGui para desmembrar e recompor o BD eliminando partes para caber no disco, processo esse sem qualquer encodação; gerar imagem ISO com o ImgBurn, portanto perda zero e posterior gravação com qualquer um desses mencionados ou com Ashampoo.

Ps: Peguei várias versões do anydvd hd e todas se comportaram por igual, creio que o que houve foi influência de outros programas que estavam instalados (ou codecs) na ocasião do constatado, fiz ensaios com todos e não constatei mais a diferença citada na postagem inicial, acredito que nunca vou saber o que causou esse conflito.

Ah, entendi. Não sabia que você tava querendo gravar em Blu-Ray. Pensei que queria apenas assistir direto do HD. Em breve vou experimentar esse programa(tsmuxerGui) que você falou e tentar gravar umas midias de Blu-Ray 25GB também e posto o resultado aqui.
