WHAT:

DVD43 stands for DVD FOR FREE - well, it's an incredibly inaccurate name, but cool names are no longer available.

DVD43 removes all copy protections from *MOST* VIDEO DVDs, decrypting data when necessary.

Why most, and not all? Because, if you insert a DVD, which is incompatible with the regional setting of your drive,
it is possible that some small title sets are not correctly decrypted. This is because the decryption key shall be
guessed from the data, and it's only possible on some sectors. If no weakly encrypted sectors are present on a given
title set, and if the DVD doesn't match drive's region, then this title set will not be decryptable.

However, this is a RARE situation, in 99.99% of the cases, DVD43 will be able to decrypt the full DVD, no matter
if the region code matches or not.

The media will be seen as a prohibition-free dvd, and the device region will always be seen as compatible.


WHY:

Because - after 2 years - a free solution is still not available.

If you want more features and/or pay for support: AnyDVD (www.slysoft.com), DVDIdle (www.dvdidle.com)


HOW:

Install, reboot. At startup, DVD43 will scan the drives, and goes into tray waiting to activate.
Insert a video DVD, and it will activate after a few seconds. Remove the DVD, and it will deactivate.

If you search something to set, there is nothing for you here.

Each time a video DVD is inserted, DVD43 will detect the protection and the necessary steps to remove it (the process takes a few seconds - see below).
As soon as the keys have been found and updated by DVD43, the DVD will be seen as unprotected to any Windows application.


If the tray icon shows a
- grey disappointed smiley: A support driver is missing - please reinstall
- yellow disappointed smiley: DVD43 is ready, but there is no detected video DVD inserted
- devil smiley: DVD43 has just detected a new Video DVD, and is searching the keys to use for decryption (may take up to 1 min.)
- green smiley: at least one DVD video has been detected, and is unprotected by DVD43

The effect stops as soon as the DVD43 tray application is closed.


TIPS:

DVD43 provides support for

* Software using Windows IO - WinDVD, DVDFab, DVD XPRESS, DVD2One, MSI DVD, CopyToDVD, ...

* Software using ASPI IO - PowerDVD 5, ...

* DVDs which match the region of the drive (BEST CHOICE)

* DVDs which do not match the region of the drive
This method takes more time, up to 1 minute (decryption keys may need to be brute-forced),
can fail (if the title set is too small) and is hardware dependent (some drives will refuse to read).

If you have the choice, always insert a video DVD into a device with a compatible region.


DVD43 doesn't provide support for

* DE-MACROVISION. It's a choice...

* Software talking directly to port drivers (Pinnacle, BlindWrite in async mode, CloneDVD, ...)

So you saying its Virtually crap... LOL :D

Just thought I'd find out... You'd think they would have mentioned it in the Build ReadMe.txt ...:doh:

But why burn a bridge to build on styrofoam then tell the truth. It defeats the purpose of the even doing it right... LOL:D :agree:
 
DVD43 is basically crap. It's only redeeming quality is it's free. There is only one software, that I am aware of, that recommends using it and that software is almost as useless.

Oh, he/she/they did:

- only decryption done now
 
That all it does is remove CSS. Thats it.

:agree::agree:

The only real form of encryption is CSS

Most of these other bits and pieces that cause us problems are more "bad authoring" techniques that the movies houses use to screw the way your dvd backup software sees the disc (which is where AnyDVD comes into play (unless you use 1click)
