Hi all,
I have never used these ripping / decrypting programs before, but I have read the 'what to do first guides'.
My issue is that when i come to use DVD shrink to backup my dvd then it starts to show the opening screens and stops saying the drive is protected and cant continue.
I thought that was the purpose of the anydvd to bypass the protection.
here is what anydvd says about the movie file.
Summary for drive E: (AnyDVD 6.1.3.3)
LITE-ON DVDRW LH-18A1H HL05 2006/10/31 13:58
Drive (Hardware) Region: 2
Media is a DVD.
Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 1
Total size: 2136223 sectors (4172 MBytes)
Video DVD (or CD) label: CUBE
Media is CSS protected!
Video Standard: PAL
Media is locked to region(s): 2!
RCE protection not found.
DVD structure appears to be correct.
Structural copy protection not found.
Autorun not found on Video DVD.
Bad sector protection not found.
Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 2!
The dvd is brand new out of the box, I have tried it with another dvd ( brand new out of the box : Mr&Mrs Smith ) and got the same answer.
I have several hundred genuine dvd's in my collection and wanted to be able to burn them to my hard drive to keep safety backups, and most are still shrink wrapped anyway, so its not like the dvd can be worn, also the drive is only a few weeks old and has hardly been used, so it can be that the drive is wearing out either.
