I've stayed with Netflix only because they offer some of the older DVDs (some classics), but I've found that many, though they show up on their website, are not available for rental - they just get entered in your "Saved" que and stay there forever without any action on Netflix's part. I'm not...

Although it will take more space on your hard drive, another option is to rip the BD to your HD as an ISO and then you can use Virtual Clone Drive to watch it with your player as if it were seeing an actual disc. Works for me with even a simple player like MPC-HC (even for 3D features). Virtual...

Begs the question, what type of "digital download" are you referring to? YouTube is a type of "digital download" and can be put onto a disc fairly easily but I assume we're not talking about YouTube here?

Thank's for that Ch3vrOn. That makes sense. You're right - no need for the iso rip for DVDs.

I usually use AnyDVD to unlock a DVD and then I copy the files (actually the whole VIDEO_TS folder) to a blank to make a backup. In a few cases, that folder will contain a whole lot of false files which bloats the copy beyond a single or dual layer disc capacity and makes my method impossible...

I just had a recent question related to this. It seems that if you're connected to the internet, all is well and AnyDVD HD automatically queries the OPD to get the appropriate playlist. The only time there are issues are with discs employing playlist obfuscation (screenpass) when no internet...

I like to do 1:1 backup to disc. Somehow I feel that the quality of the original is better preserved in a 1:1 backup and haven't had any playback problems yet other than those I created. Discs are my preference because I use Cinavia-free stand-alone players with my HT systems for most of my...

Thanks Ch3Vron. I think I'll just try to be on-line whenever possible to do rips, so I can catch those like "Now You See Me 2" I appreciate the information and your help.

Is this because it takes this (a year) long for decrypting to migrate into a version of AnyDVD, or is this something that started happening with disc manufacturing about a year back which will be ever present from now on in some disc releases? If it's the latter case, then am I to assume these...

Sorry about that. That was the logfile when I wasn't connected to the internet. Here is a logfile that was generated while connected. I'm still fuzzy on the OPD thing - sorry. Can I assume that if I get the OPD error (and no playlist number), the disc requires an internet connection to decode...

I returned home and this time I tried playing my original disc with MPC HC. It too, stalled at the 10:10 point and displayed the anti-copy message (attached). It occurred to me (from what you last said) that so far, I've been striking the ISO from this disc while off-line, so I connected and...

Thank's again for that Ch3vrOn. I can't wrap my head around this screenpass/playlist obfuscation thing. I'll report back what I find when I get to try that disc again in a couple of days.

Thanks Ch3vrOn. I'll check out the original as soon as I get home and see what the info shows. I can't remember what version of AnyDVD I used for the rip but it was about one version back. What is the significance of a playlist showing? Does that mean the disc is in the OPD? If that's the case...

Pardon my dumbness, but explain further. Where do I look for the "status window"? Does that come up when click on the main SlyFox icon? I don't usually do that and just right click the sys tray icon and proceed from there. If I need to open the main program to see the status window, I'll start...

Understood - I'll try re-ripping the disc to see if I can get a proper backup. Not sure about your statement. Where should I look for AnyDVD to mention a playlist (I'm right clicking the fox to get the pop-up listing rip to Image which just goes to the dialog box for copying) and if NOT...

I recently purchased a copy of Now You See Me 2 and made a backup copy which I took with me on a trip to my vacation residence. When I viewed it on my stand-alone player (Panasonic BDT100), a copy protection message popped up about 10 minutes in. It wasn't Cinavia since I could still hear the...

Don't worry about Ch3vron's reply Ken. He's direct and to the point, and his forum presence can sound terse at times but he's just trying to keep people on the right track posting-wise. I backup my 3D BDs fairly often and it's pretty straight forward. Insert your 3D disc in your BD deck and...

Thank's Ch3vron and James. But, if a disc is not supported, won't AnyDVD and AnyDVD HD give that indication (and sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread)?

How does this type of protection affect ripping to ISO and then burning a disc from the ISO? It sounded a bit like this is what the OP is doing. I sometimes get new DVDs and back them up without looking at the backup, but it would be unsettling to need to use the backup down the line and find...

I ran into something that might be related to your Warner Brothers "weirdness" some time back. Somehow (and I haven't ever figured that out), my Panasonic BD player got it's operating system corrupted. At first, I attributed the problem to the newly included Dolby ATMOS track that was being...
