    Which one is failing, the ripper or DVD 2 One? There are alternatives to both. You can also buy dual layer discs for the odd movie that won't compress to fit on a single layer or you can split the movie in two and use two single layer discs. I had to do that with King Kong because the compression made it too blocky.

    Some movies are difficult to back up - they use ARccOS (Google it). The DVD has bad data on it which DVD players ignore.
