Re: OMG I NEED HELP!
Problem solved: I re-installed Leopard. I checked the logs, it said it could not boot from leopard (the old copy of leopard i had before it crashed) because of a bad HDD. OMG really? So i went out and bought myself a new 80GB EIDE HDD. Btw, I did lose all of my old programs, but i can just download them. As for data backup, let's just say my 320GB SATA drive saved my butt. It had all my info and music fired up and ready to go. Aren't macs neat? You get this happening to you without the pain of losing data. I personally thank everyone who developed and made CCC and Time Machine for Mac OS X Leopard, because i truly owe you one for saving my trusty sawtooth from a barking snappy bad HDD. Well, lesson learned here. Don't wait for a HDD to fail! Back up your data every day if possible, and make sure everything is running smoothly. The funny thing is, is that the HDD had no signs of HDD failure until yesterday. I took it apart, and the entire disk was charred/scratched inside. How wonderful? Next time i'll think twice before buying Hard drives from Maxtor. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Peter, in our case no key options work at all. An alternative is to rip the DVD and then selectively burn individual DVDs which have one chapter, namely the functional chapter which could have been selected if you could get past the badly authored chapter. The Ken Burns discs stand out as Not Being Rippable. I like to burn NetFlix disc to HD for later viewing. None of my ripping softwares produce a playable version even in the set discs 1-3. Though perhaps if I explored burning them with initial chapter bypass as you suggest they might work. For now, we'll simply view KB on a standard DVD player Thanks for the responses.

Re: DVD drive ?
On Jun 17, 2010, at 8:03 AM, Cliff Rediger wrote: The Ken Burns discs stand out as Not Being Rippable. Well, have you tried every available ripping tool? At one point there was a special DVD ripper which a number of PBS affiliates were using to air movies, usually on Saturday nights, under license from the copyright owner. In this case the rip was to a disk array, from which most programs were actually aired, but I'm sure a rip to a single disk would work just as well. MTR still works for many cases, but new disks from distributors like Buena Vista and Lions Gate are often so heavily protected that these will not play even on a real set-top DVD player device, although those same disks will usually play using DVD Player under MacOS X. But, every Draconian protection method carries with it significant baggage, and part of that baggage is usually improperly authored chapters. When the improperly authored chapter is the infamous FBI Warning, then it is probably time to try MTR's rip main feature only option. The rippers have long since been able to accommodate the usual single decryption key per disk, and most also support a single, but different, decryption key per main program, and a couple can accommodate multiple decryption keys per main program, a different one for each chapter or even for each block. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
