My family provided to a funeral service photos of a family who had recently passed. They took all the photos and created a DVD image montage that ran on a discreet video screen during the viewings. As it is our property, we received it after the service was complete.
I wanted to make a copy for my brother and sister, but none of the standard tools work. It plays from my PC and laptop, but neither ImgBurn, DVD Shrink, nor DVD Decrypter work. They all fail with file read errors pretty much immediately. I'm pretty sure there really aren't and file errors as the disc plays through perfectly. When I look at the disc contents in File Manager I see the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subdirectories, and normal sorts of files in each directory. I even tried just doing a copy and paste of the contents of each directory, and that also failed.
I guess it's possible, but I find it hard to believe a plain old funeral parlor would be using any sort of high level protection on a DVD that they hand over to the family once the services are done. Looking for thoughts on what I should try next.
