In a different thread ModGod mentioned that DVD Clone would not backup Resident Evil Apocalypse or Anchorman. Well I don’t care much for Will Farrell’s movies (with the exception of Old School) but I decided to give REA a try.
Like DVD Clone, DVDxCOPY would not make a backup of it either. The DVD has copy protection in the form of unreadable info. This makes backup programs report errors. Next I tried ripping the DVD with DVD Decrypter with the error reporting turned off. Still no luck.
Then I stumbled onto VOB Blanker. Using it along with DVD Shrink to compress and DVD Decrypter to burn, I now have a backup of REA. It is not that complicated,but I wrote a quick tutorial just incase. It is in Word format. If anyone needs it in a different format, just let me know.
BTW: All three programs - DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, & VOB Blanker - are Freeware. _________________ Xbox Version 1.6

It took me about 1 week to 'backup' a UK retail version of res evil apocalypse....tried every combination of software -I finally did it with dvd shrink / dvd decrypter - Just make sure u have the latest version as this removes the sony protection. Do no have DVD4free running in the background or you will get loads of errors. Also LG 1 click dvd copy removes the sony protection and shinks to fit 1 disc - get a 'retail' version from the usual torrent sites (iso hunt / torrent reactor etc)
