Iron Man 3

Not if you update to the latest beta at the top of this board. :D

-W

YES. no audio on the movie track itself (all other tracks have audio). i've run into this time and again with popular/blockbuster-type releases. handbrake shows a total blank under audio properties. VLC will play the movie from the ripped ripped files, but again, without any audio. i've scoured anyDVD and cloneDVD for settings i can alter. nothing. and the next disc i pop in is likely to be perfectly fine. i've long suspected this is a form of copy protection, but searches on the topic yield, again....nothing.

can anyone shed some light on this?? understanding the nature of the problem would be fantastic, but i'd happily settle for a fix.

i updated AnyDVD this morning before i even tried IM3.

Iron Man 3's copy protection problem has solved a long time ago. I also copied the dvd with no problem with beta 7.3.1.3 (See my Post )

But, if don't post a dvd logo (see HERE how to do that) no one can help you more

P.S. i have just tried with last beta (7.3.3.1) and i still have no problem

all right, now i AM confused....AnyDVD claims my default region IS region 1 US/canada. and that's an "out of the box" setting; i didn't alter it to get the screen shot i've attached. in fact, from the options in the drop-down menu, it doesn't appear to be possible to have no region enabled at all. what am i missing??

This is your "software" region setup

You must set and your "hardware" setup to region 1

do the following

Code:
<<<Right mouse the system tray AnyDVD fox icon and click "exit". >>>

YOU MUST EXIT ANYDVD OR YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE DRIVE REGION

In case you ignored that here it is again:

YOU MUST EXIT ANYDVD OR YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE DRIVE REGION

1. Click start. For XP right click on "My computer"--->select "properties" (in Vista, W7, W8, start > right click "Computer" ---> select "Properties")
2. For XP click on the 'Hardware' tab--->click the 'device manager' button 
2a. For Vista, W7, W8 open "Device Manager"
3. Open the dvd/cdrom branch---> right click there on your optical drive
4. Click "properties".
5. You should have a region tab at the top there. Click that and from there you can select a region.

well, i didn't ignore it, no. but i also didn't see it; for some reason, until i hit "reply w/quote", the last thing i saw of your post was the line "You must set and your "hardware" setup to region 1". go figure.

at any rate, i changed the DVD drive's region setting - with AnyDVD shut down - and ran the rip again. same result: great picture, absolutely no audio on the movie itself. there's all kinds of audio ripping going on, by the way - on previews, the menu, etc; just not the movie. that's what makes me think it's a copy protection that AnyDVD isn't catching. that, and the fact that i've run into this issue only on certain "hot" new blockbuster-type movies - "avengers", that Oz movie from a year or two ago, etc. it's never happened on, say, a french romantic comedy with english subtitles or a mid-80s meryl streep drama; just a certain type of movie, and always new releases as opposed to rereleases. it's happened on multiple PCs and laptops - at least three, maybe four - all of which were running different versions of windows and different versions of AnyDVD. i'd say i've been running into this at random over the past two years or so. updating AnyDVD has never made the slightest difference.

after this latest failed rip, i created a new logfile. it's attached. hopefully you can get something from it.

I used 7.3.3.0 and it seems fine. I open the file in PowerDVD and advance all the chapters and it all seems to be there with sound also. Won't know 100% until I make a copy on DVD and watch it.

i used to burn them and THEN test them, but when this issue started cropping up over and over i got gunshy. now, after i rip, i load the folder in VLC and play the movie; it either has sound or it doesn't. another way i've found to check without actually burning is to open the VIDEO_TS folder in handbrake, make sure the correct "title" (i.e. the movie itself and not a documentary or something) is selected, then click on handbrake's audio tab. when the rip has gone smoothly and audio is included, you'll see a listing that reads something like "1 English (AC3) (5.1)". but when the no-audio issue has come up, the audio tab is totally blank.

Copy I make with AnyDvd 7.3.3.0 Rips to HD fine.
DvD shrink works fine.
Copy burns fine.

Player spins up, recognizes the Dvd and stops "Protected Content".

Never seen this error message before.

Tried Movie only with DvD shrink, same result "Protected Content".

UM Player can play ripped and shrunk versions.

Never had a copy do this before.

me again. same problem, different county.

tried again on my home PC (was on my work PC before) using one of its two DVD drives after making sure it's region-1-encoded and after updating AnyDVD to 7.3.3.0, rebooting, and updating again to the 7.3.3.1 beta. no joy. checked the rip using both of my usual methods and still no sound. for what it's worth, both my home and work PCs are running XP with service pack 3.

logfile attached for the home PC.

If you are using AnyDVD to rip, are all the settings on Default? If so, can you play the rip with MediaPlayer Classic and does it work? As AnyDVD doesn't touch the audio, you have to do something to cause it to not rip correctly (default settings should fix that), or the problem comes in what you're doing in Handbrake.

1) Make sure your region is set in your drive. Disable AnyDVD or exit it before checking. If its not set, set it and try again.
2) Make sure AnyDVD settings are set to Default.
3) If those still don't work, you should always supply an AnyDVD log when you are having a problem as the "Read Before You Post" sticky says.
 
Currently running anyDVD 7.3.3.0 and I was able to copy Iron Man 3 without any issue regarding audio playback, both the movie and the extras. Could it be that those who have issues are messing with internal settings of the software anyDVD? I've run anyDVD on my machines since version 6.0.x.x - ALL in default mode/settings. Never had an issue copying or burning any DVD movie and or having playback issues with picture or sound. My drives are all Samsung DVD-RW burners. Just my two cents.

quick update: i've updated and reupdated AnyDVD. i've defaulted settings. i've checked the region setting on all DVD drives, altering the setting on one drive. i've played with keeping/discarding various audio streams when ripping. i've done everything suggested in this thread and a thing or two more. and i've experienced complete and total failure at every step, on both PCs, no matter what i do. anyone out there got a bolt from the blue?? i'm going to have to return the disc to the owner tonight; he hasn't even watched it yet.
