SamuriHL, I'm curious why you don't use the ripper built in to AnyDVD?
I am just getting ready to start ripping BR/HD, and my first attempt, using AnyDVD HD on the HDDVD of 300, resulted in an error about 1/2 way through. I also tried another tool (I forget what) and got the same result. I'm going to try ImgBurn tonight, but is there a specific reason you recommend ImgBurn?
The ripper doesn't create ISOs, so, it's mostly useless to me.
That's a bad disc, my friend. ImgBurn isn't going to help. That particular disc is notoriously crappy quality. Kinda glad I got it on BD now even though I regretted it at the time cause the HD DVD had more features.
As for ImgBurn, I don't necessarily recommend it over anything else such as CloneCD. Either will work fine and I'm sure there are other programs that work equally well. However, CloneCD and ImgBurn give consistent results and have been tried by a great many people on the forum. ImgBurn is probably one of the best freeware programs I've ever seen. LUK, the author, is a freaking coding genius as far as I'm concerned...and I'm a software engineer, so, I know a thing or two about software. It's just an incredibly well built piece of code. CloneCD is excellent, as well, and I really have no issues with it at all.
ImgBurn has a build mode that is useful, though. With the script I wrote you can take a folder on the hard drive and create a fully compliant BD ISO ready to mount or burn. (Useful for people who like to shrink their movies down to a movie only copy with one or two audio streams to save space or for those who ripped to folders all along and didn't want to bother with upgrading PowerDVD. That's becoming more and more difficult as time goes on so we recommend ISOs now.)
Anyway, I hope that answers your questions.
