Just an FYI to anyone browsing this thread..... The Lite-ON DH-401S PC BD-ROM drive can actually detect and read PS3 games. The whole directory structure can be copied with and only with this drive on a windows based PC. Previously the only way to dump PS3 games was using Linux and the PS3's own...

Unfortunately it appears your drive does not support RAW mode. It technically should, as it's supposed to comply to the MMC standard (MMC compliant drives made after 1997 are supposed to support MMC-DAO-RAW mode). Blame it on Yamaha for their lame FW. :mad: Not sure why Nero InfoTool is...

If CloneCD lets you choose either RAW SAO 16 or RAW DAO (pretty sure CloneCD just calls both options "RAW DAO") then your drive supports this feature. I guess it's possible that your drive could support this mode but is not technically supported by CloneCD, however this would be unlikely...

As far as I can remember, as long as your optical drive can write p and q SUB channel data it can burn a working psx backup. I think they're may be a few games that used enhanced protection but I don't know which ones for sure. I never backed up psx games myself, but I have burned over 60+...

I'm sure it will get tougher with all the different protection schemes that are being devised almost constantly in this day and age. BD+ may not be the only thing to worry about here, as I'm betting at some point publishers will begin devising new schemes to try to prevent copying. I mean, look...

Hands down the best deal right now is the 6x LG GGW-H20LK OEM at Newegg. It's down to $229 at the moment: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136155 This drive will burn 22 GB to Verbatim 4x BD-R media in about 20 min using ImgBurn. I've been very happy with this drive...

Agreed. I have a modded Xbox that I built myself and you are correct about playing games strait off the hdd. I have over 60 original Xbox games installed and also thousands of roms that I play using emulators like MameOx, SNES9X, and FCEUltraX. It is also possible to burn the original Xbox games...

You ought to look into Valve's Steam service. It's really come a long way and offers almost every big PC game that's been released recently. Steam allows you to play every game you own without inserting the disc. It also lets you backup every game you own to DVD-R/+R for safe keeping and this...

Agreed. This is the best solution to backing up blu-ray movies now. I use this exact method with much success. TSMUXER has great features and is almost perfect for the job. ImgBurn is also a wonderful app that handles blu-ray image creation and burning like a champ. These free apps are faster...

Yeah Webslinger, maybe then he could just use a batch file with his app to automate the whole process........

I guess I can see your point then..... I'm not a programmer, so I can't be of much help. That said, I'd probably look into trying to find some code that would temporarily disable or bypass "class lower filters" in the WDM. If this could be accomplished then maybe Anydvd would not intercept and...

I don't get it. Why not just disable Anydvd to get the DiscID if that's what's working for you? It's simple to disable/enable..... Doesn't sound like much of a problem to me.

I have a little experience in this field as I've heavily modded a few xbox's in the past. I currently still use my modded box to stream videos and such using XBMC. XBMC supports more video codecs than my stock PS3 does (go figure) excluding HD video of course. Anyway, you cannot make copies...

I've noticed that tsmuxer will demux DTS-HD audio from blu ray discs fine (tested it on the Incredible Hulk). HD audio really isn't that important to me right now. My 6.1 home theater setup is nice for me, but it's nothing special. My receiver only supports up to DD-EX and DTS 96/24 so I can't...

Just read over at Afterdawn that Dark Knight has set a new Blu-Ray disc sales record. Just goes to show, if you make a great movie it will sell, period. It didn't need BD+ or any other expensive protection scheme to achieve this success either. I'm sure Warner Bros. won't see it this way...

Hmmmmm... I wasn't aware that hardware acceleration is disabled when watching .m2ts files. This just doesn't seem right. I could see if it was juddery only during intense scenes, but most of the movie plays fine from the .m2ts file. The credits at the end are very juddery, which is just strange...

By the way, I mentioned in my first post about how Dark Knight has one big .m2ts file that contains the whole movie. When I load this file directly from my hdd into any app the time is incorrectly reported. It's shown to be over 5 hours in length when it's more like 2 h 30 min. Anyone know why...

Yeah, that's what I was complaining about. If you're like me and you watch blu ray or DVD movies on your PC monitor it's even worse. Almost every 24" and 30" PC monitor uses a 16:10 aspect ratio instead of the more common 16:9 ratio that HDTV's use. When watching HD movies that use a 2.4:1...

Yes, I just researched this and have read that it shifts between 1:78:1 and 2:4:1 aspect ratio. It's weird to me but some people don't even seem to notice it. These people need glasses I guess, lol. I wish they would just use this IMAX aspect ratio for every scene in all blu ray movies...

Okay, just backed up Dark Knight using Anydvd's (6.4.9.0) rip to image function. Mounted the image using virtual clonedrive and it plays back in PowerDVD 7.03.4603 (OEM version that came with my blu-ray drive) but I'm experiencing weird effects. The aspect ratio just changes randomly which I...
