I'm sorry, i don't quite catch what your saying.

I'm not getting any crc errors at all, everything says "done", it just takes about 10 seconds opposed to the normal 30-40 minutes, and a 227 meg iso comes out as opposed to a 7.5 gig iso.
My buddy says it sounds like it can't read the vob files correctly off spiderman 3 b/c he thinks it's copy protected, hence that's why i'm getting a 227 meg only iso-it's skipping right over the meat of the dvd. I don't know if this is true but i'm gonna try some other dvd's.
I don't get it....if the dvd is 7.9 gigs, why is a friggin 227 meg file coming out?
Are you saying to try your layout with my games?
Try and rip the game but don't change the layout file, don't even touch it. THEN try and rip the game. This will tell you if it's your layout file or if it's your dvd.
Make sure you don't have any programs running that could interfere with the rip, like AnyDVD, maybe VMWare etc.
