Sony DVD's

I have been using Handbrake and Mediafork with a lot of success to rip my DVD's to mpeg4 to watch them on my AppleTV. However, I am running into problems with Sony DVD's they have ARccOS protection and I am unable to rip so I can watch on my ATV.
Anybody know of a Mac ripper program that will work on Sony DVD's?

David, MacTheRipper would be the program you're looking for. I have been using macTheRipper followed by Handbrake with great success. Since you did not say which Handbrake you're using I suggest Ver. 7.1.
I believe the latest Mediafork /Handbrake is still beta And might still have a few bugs. When using MacTheRipper pay close attention whether Disc RCE reads
CLEAR or DETECTED. If it reads detected set the RCE region for your disc otherwise the default settings are OK. I hope this helps, good luck.

  • Error message when burning to Sony DVD-r discs

    Just bought 200 Sony DVD-R printable discs from Costco, and I am trying to burn a 15 minute short film in DVD studio pro. The DVD just spins in Formatting and I get this message:The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error.
    I have burned this same film many times with my Nexxtech DVD's and it works fine, but the Sony discs don't seem to work. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    D-

    Try burning at the lowest possible speed (probably DVDx2) and see if they work.

  • Sony DVD Burner and 350 mhz AGP not being recognised by iTunes

    I managed to get a Sony DVD Burner for my friends Powermac g4 AGP, the sales assistant sais it would be comatible for macs....it installed fine and wa sable to read dvd's perfectly, when my friend went to burn a CD from iTunes it would not work as it seems the drive is not supported. I have tried finidng some drivers all over the sony website for it but to no avail. I don't suppose anyone has any experience with this brand of burner? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    As I recall, Sony's internal DVD burners are made by Lite-On, but as far as the G4 is concerned - the drive's firmware indicates a Sony product. A compatibilty problem for burning a disk occurs, when the CD/DVD drive is newer than the supporting profiles for Apple's Disk Burner software. Have you checked into "PatchBurn?" Other than that, your friend could purchase Roxio's "Toast," which has more user settings than Apple's software.

  • Clarification using Elements 7 and Sony DVD architect please ..

    Hello all,
    I am close to finishing my 2nd set of "How To" instructional DVD's.
    I have been reviewing the required steps in order to create a menu with "Sony DVD Architect."
    I see in a past discussion that it was mentioned to:
    “ .. Export [your Elements project] as an MPEG2 file without DVD markers, then adding the DVD markers and menu in either NERO or Sony DVD Architect Studio .. Note if you export MPEG2 you need to use the smart-rendering in the applications to ensure your video isn't re-rendered ... resulting in a slight quality hit.”
    Is this still a good way to do this?  Would it be better/worse to export the Premiere Elements
    project as an ".avi" file and pull that ".avi" file into Sony DVD Architect?  Then, render with Sony DVD Architect?
    Thanks!
    --Tom Nickel

    Steve,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply!
    Yes, I wasn't concered about markers, I figured that I'd create all of that in DVD Architect.
    But, you've raised an issue that I had not thought about!
    My DVD will be about 1 hour, 25 minutes.
    Of course, I did expect a small loss in quality as some compression will be required in order for the material to fit on a standard DVD.
    So, where sould the compression be done?  I know that Elements will compress down to whatever length is necessary
    (To render, a selection something to the order of: "fit contents to disk").
    Even if I "pre-compress" in Elements to fit on a standard DVD will DVD Architect re-compress the program material?
    Thanks again,
    --Tom Nickel

  • Premiere CC 2014.1 Blu-ray MPEG 2 export causing error in Sony DVD Architect Pro

    I've filed a Bug Report for this but wanted to post here in case it helps anyone else or on the off chance someone can give me a solution / better work around.
    Something has changed in the results of a Blu-ray MPEG2 export from Premiere 2014.1 vs those of the previous CC version. The result is that my authoring software of choice, Sony DVD Architect Pro, fails to prepare a disc image giving an error in the final stage of preparation. This workflow has been working fine for 2-3 years.
    My work around is to export to original format (mxf / XDCAM EX HQ) and then go back to Media Encoder CC rather than 2014 to produce the Blu-ray MPEG2 file, which works without problem.
    Here's a copy paste of my bug report in case anyone with a similar setup has an opportunity to replicate (I'd be very grateful to anyone able to confirm whether its a bug or something specific to me that I might be able to fix).
    ******BUG******
    Export from Premiere 2014.1 directly or via Media Encoder of MPEG 2 1080 50i Blu-ray files causes error in preparation of Blu-ray disc in Sony DVD Architect 5.2.
    This error does not occur when using the same Media Encode export preset in the previous version of Premiere Pro CC / Media Encoder.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Export Sequence from Premiere
    Export, in my case XDCAMEX 1080i HQ, using a media encoder MPEG 2 Blu-ray preset:
    Preset Name: HD 1080i 25
    Format: MPEG2 Blu-ray
    Bitrate Settings: Medium (Target 25Mbps)
    2. Create DVD Architect 5.2 project
    Set up as single movie Blu-ray project in DVD Architect:
    Disc format: Blu-ray Disc
    Resolution: 1920*1080
    Framerate: 35 interlaced
    Choose the file exported from Premiere
    3 Prepare Disc
    - Select Make Blu-ray Disc
    - Click Prepare
    - Choose Location of iso
    - click next then finish
    Result
    Around 50% - 60% through the process the following error is displayed:
    An error occurred while preparing compilation
    Details:
    File name: STREAM/00000.m2ts
    Status: TSWrapper.dll::CTSWrapper::ProcThreadMain::Failed to read ES file. - The ES file may be shorter than the size described in the MUI file.
    Expected results:
    A shiny ISO ready to be burnt to disc and sent sent to eager customers.
    Its taken me a full day and a half to isolate problem - someone remind me why I fall for the software updates every time?!
    Cheers

    There is a known bug in the H.264-Bluray export. I assume it has nothing to do with your issue, but perhaps it will give you something to consider.

    It appears due to a malformed xmpses file. It creates a problem on import into Encore, and I think it should do the same upon import into Architect or it would be ignored entirely. The test is to delete the xmpses file and see if that avoids the issue.

  • Importing and Using Video from Sony DVD Camcorders

    I have a Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD 92) and I have recently shot a lot of footage which is now on my computer. The file extensions are .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB. I am able to import some of the files into final cut but they are shortened to only a few seconds each when in reality, they were shot for several minutes. Is there a way to make these work or to convert the files so they can be edited in Final Cut Pro 5?

    mrescobar 1 1,
    You should find that GreatVideo! v1.7 for Mac OS X - 10.4', by Software Architects, Inc., solves your problem. Converts from Sony to Mac readable format.

  • DVD's not working on Sony dvd player

    I just bought some TDK DVD-R 16x. I burned a DVD with my iMac G4 in iDVD. I tried to play it in my Sony DVD player and it said it was was not allowed because there were limitations or something. Can I fix this or do I need new DVDs??

    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the
    DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may
    encounter. Once the disc image is created,
    double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that
    should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn
    the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually,
    you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which
    OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in
    Applications folder), click on the virtual disc
    (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the
    Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your
    SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn
    icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R
    preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait.
    Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor
    over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to
    work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower
    for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to
    click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This
    may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk
    to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD.
    Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD
    Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and
    open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio
    disks.)

    I'm reading through the forums trying to figure why I am not able to play a DVD burned in iDVD that is "R", but the "RW" ones work fine.
    Your post is very helpful and I've looked at the links suggested too. I just want to make sure I'm understanding. I've copied the movie to my hard drive using iMovie and then created an iDVD project. I then need to use either Disk Utility or Toast to make the DVD. I do not need to use the "burn" feature in iDVD. Is that correct?
    I would appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe there is something else in the settings or preferences I need to adjust.
    Thanks so much.

  • Can I attach a Sony DVD playing to my Folio using a HDMI

    I want to play DVD thru with my Sony DVD player thru my computer.. How do I do it.

    The notebook only has HDMI out, which means that you would not be able to use your DVD player to output video to the notebook.

  • Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

    Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD? 

    When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
    The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

  • Hi ThereMy Sony dvd recorder has stopped working

    Hi There
    I have a Sony DVd recorder and Sony TV, both bought from Sony shop 5 years ago, so out of warranty.
    last night, recorder stopped showing Title List/Guide, and eventually, no power light.
    Have checked fuse, and ******ed new one, no luck.
    Went to local tv shop, and he said 4 customers have called today with similat problem, any advice please.

    I'm sorry to know your Sony DVD recorder is no longer working.
    May I have the complete model number of your unit? You can get either from the front page of the manual or from the back of the player. (e.g., RDRGX255)

  • Problems mounting a Sony DVD+R DL disc

    Hi I have a MacBookPro 2,2 - Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.33 GHz - 15''
    When I load a blank Sony DVD+R DL 8.5gb - AccuCore - RW - disc into Finder it shows up fine, burns without a problem (I burned it with finder), mounts after its done without a problem, it ejects without a problem.
    Now when I try to use the disc the next day. It wont mount. The drive tries to read it for 30 seconds and than just ejects it back out. I have Toast 7 Titanium but I mainly use it to make movie DVD's with DVD+R's for clients.
    I thought maybe the disc's are bad or something. So I did a little experiment using Parallels Desktop with Windows XP SP2 on it. It loaded the disc into the drive and it showed up. Seems that the drive nor the disc are the problem but the OS.
    Any help on this would be awesome.

    Raul,
    No thanks to yourself and Sony you are in this pickle. You allowed yourself to have less than 2 copies of your data, and Sony for not following the DVD+R DL standard that Apple has tried to follow with the rest of the industry. Unfortunately the rest of the industry can't agree upon a standard. It really is too bad that's the case, but that's the situation with the bleading edge on media format. DVD-R is more reliable than DVD+R DL.
    That's where the problem happened. Apple didn't tell you to delete the data.
    My suggestion is to follow my backup FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    to avoid such problems in the future.
    You may be able to recover the information with Prosoft Data Rescue, or Subrosasoft's File Salvage.
    Good luck!

  • UJ-845 + Sony DVD-R media: VIDEO at 8X, DATA at only 2X????

    Drive: Model: MATSHITADVD-R UJ-845
    Revision: D8PB
    Media: Sony DVD-R, 250MR47LS3. 120 min, 4.7 GB, 1x-8x compatible.
    When I create a Finder burn folder and try to burn a data DVD, to the Sony DVD, the only choices it offers me are 1X and 2X.
    But, when I burn a video DVD, I am not asked for a burn speed... and in fact the burn takes places as 8X. And the resulting DVD passes verification and plays perfectly.
    (Apple-branded DVD-R's offer 1X, 2X, 4X, and 8X for burning data).
    Why should video and data DVD maximum burn speeds be different?

    Finally......
    TDK "video" DVD-R, 1-8x. On sale at Target stores (you might need to go to the next aisle, as it is marketed for "video" recording, so it was near the VHS tapes...). $14 for 25. Blue label on package, UPC code 020356485986.
    "drutil status" gives the media code TTG02 and 4x burning speed!
