Vidrop problems

I placed a DVD in the computer and pressed DVD on the Vidrop and as described it converted the largest file on the DVD.When I tried to convert the other VOB files which I had moved to my documents for ease of access it would not convert.I got the message that M.Player had stopped working,along with a notice that a programme had reset the colour,also whilst trying to convert, a fail message came up in what looks like the DOS box saying repeatedly,"CRC failed".I thought it might have been the DVD but I tried another one and same problem.I uninstalled Vidrop and reinstalled but to no avail.I restarted windows,no luck.Finally I tried the web video downloader but nothing downloaded.I am able to convert family films of the AVI variety withy no problems.Help

Maybe your two Vob files were both wrong.

After uninstalling, clean the registry and install again.

tried this already,what is frustrating is that yesterday on 1st trying the software it worked brilliantlty just as described but the very next time I used it from the same DVD and others it no longer works

Afaik viDrop does not decrypt the DVD, is the DVD copy protected by any chance? or is it an home made DVD?

When you say is the DVD protected does that mean I cant convert any DVD's ? If so what is the point of Vidrop.Also as I said when I inserted the DVD 1st time ,I hit the DVD buton on Vidrop and it converted the largest file.This converted file worked fantastically on my MP4.What I was then trying to do was convert the rest of the same DVD as it contains numerous music videos but I seem unable to do this.I guess I'm just a bit thick when it comes to computers

I have just tried to convert a normal DVD movie and the vidrop started ok and half way through I got the message"mencoder.exe has stopped working"

Ive never used the DVD function before, but it you're saying it worked
"when I inserted the DVD 1st time ,I hit the DVD buton on Vidrop and it converted the largest file.This converted file worked fantastically on my MP4.What I was then trying to do was convert the rest of the same DVD as it contains numerous music videos but I seem unable to do this.I guess I'm just a bit thick when it comes to computers"

Im guessing viDrop can only convert the largest file and not any other files?
