Problem with Gandhi

[CyberAnth]

I cannot get Gandhi R1 to backup as an xivd or divx. Here's what I've tried so far.

Tried three decrypters, DVDShrink, DVDDecrypter, and FAB, of course the latest versions as of this date.

Then I am encoding with AutoGK. It will encode only for 6 minutes or so. Here is the log:

The same thing exact happens whether with files prepared by DVDShrink, DVDDecrypter, or FAB.

I have also tried running the .IFO through VOBBlanker, which finds nothing wrong.

I have also re-authored in DVDShrink what DVDFab prepared. I split the movie in half. The first half encoded for about 6 minutes, as the above log shows, and the second half encoded normally. I know this points to where the problem lies.

I am able to make a DVDShrink backup as an .ISO file and it plays fine but I cannot encode to xvid or divx.

I am totally stumped! Can anyone please help?

Hi CyberAnth,

If you want to convert DVD to AVI, I suggest you try DVDFab Platinum 3 Beta to see the result. You can use "DVD to Mobile -> Generic" to convert a DVD title into AVI file.
