Thanks! I've just read some of the earlier posts and it seems that disabling the AI Scanner is essentially the same thing as the earlier version of AnyDVD when it comes to backing up "Meet The Robinsons."
Thanks again!
Just use the latest beta (and enable AI scanner)
No, you can disable it.QUESTION: Especially on this particular title, is there any reason I WOULD NOT want to disable AI scanning to back it up?
The latest beta should handle meet the robinsons with the AI Scanner enabled at default.
I have backed up my copy of Meet the Robinsons with the "skip to menu" feature enabled using the new beta, 6.1.9.0, and the copy worked perfectly!
As always, thanks to James and the team for all the great work that they do.
I'm sorry if this is going into the wrong place.... After wasting 2 discs on MEET THE ROBINSONS, I decided to take a look at the forum. I came across a suggestion by Webslinger to 'disable my AI Scanner'. Thank you.... The grandkids just finished watching the backup and my original gets put away like the rest. This forum is a powerful tool. I try to read it as often as I can. In this case I was 2 discs too late, but thanx anyway. I don't know if I can say this on the forum, but.....I'm an avid ANYDVD and CLONEDVD2 user. I recieve my updates regularly and use nothing else. Once again, thanx Webslinger and keep up the good work..........Pops
UPDATE: I just checked it again to list these details, and now I'm finding that it it WILL play at the beginning with AI scanning and PUO removal enabled... The ONLY thing I did between both trials was that I burned 3 DVD images I had on my hard drive to free up space. When it was happening it was repeatable. Then I burned 3 DVDs, and now it is working OK repeatedly. If I can find the conditions to cause it again, I'll report back.
Hmm. You aren't forced to watch all the warning screens? If not, it seems to me that 6.1.9.0 worked fine.
Yes, with AI and PUO removal enabled, I'm still forced to watch the FBI (which was the last info/warning screen)
However, because of my observations on how many titles AI actually broke working backups (e.g. Blades of Glory), I'll continue leaving it disabled as my default, and only experiment with it if I have issues at that setting.
That doesn't seem right to me then.
6.1.9.0 handles Blades of Glory perfectly fine--and also probably won't work properly with A.I. scanner disabled.
It doesn't seem right that I'm still forced to watch the FBI screen even though I have PUO removal enabled?
I think I know why, and I've encountered it before even with other decrypters that feature PUO removal, i.e., DVD Decrypter, DVDFab, etc. It seems to matter whether the menu is comprised of actual video (i.e. mpeg converted to vob), or whether it is a still frame with a certain display time specified. I've found that when using PUO removal, the former type can be skipped, while the latter will not allow you to skip it.
However, the advice in the threads at the time was to uninstall 6.1.8.4 and re-install 6.1.7.4 to decrypt Blades of Glory.
I realize that the potential power of AI scanning is that it could possibly break a new protection without further tinkering by Slysoft, but the track history so far is that it has required tinkering after new titles are released (as in Meet the Robinsons), or sometimes even break old titles (as in Blades of Glory). Right now the risks seem to outweigh the benefits
Of course this could be automated in AnyDVD like DVDFab does - it scans to see if it's PathPlayer technology is needed, and if not it disables it and proceeds with normal decryption.
By the way, I see that you edited my previous post yesterday! Why?
You're mistaken, but that's understandable as you don't understand how A.I. scanner works. I'm not willing to reveal what I know unless someone from Slysoft does so first (a few people here know what I mean).
Pathfinder, at the moment, is more bugged than AI scanner is (8 Below --Japan, a disc where both programs mess up, is one example), and your comments here really underscore that you don't understand how the A.I. scanner works.
Oh. I didn't edit what you wrote, but rather what I wrote (what you quoted) due to slight paranoia on my part. If I had edited the contents of your post, you would have seen a reason.
And swearing is not the only reason why I would modify a member's post.
