Hi, Ive been trying to back up some of my DVD's but some of them have a red dye on them, which wont allow me to back it up. Is there any software out there that will allow me to do this. Thanks for any reply's cheers John
That's new to me! Normally if you can play a DVD in your player or your computer you can copy them. Are you getting any error messages?
There is a couple of films which are doing this particuarly Bad Santa, im using DVD shrink, i keep getting the message this film is protected and cannot continue which is really annoying
what is this 'red dye' ? as to Bad Santa, did that last week with just DVD Shrink on it's lonesome, ie no problems at all (great film by the way)
its just a disk with a red bottom - all the one's which i have this on just wont copy for me at all - Bad Santa is amazing
you sure you don't mean both sides are like a mucky gold colour, ie some columbia tristar discs are this colour, both top and bottom, dunno why, they just look different to me, i don't think there's anything about anything in the colour i mean
there def a red colour - ive had several of these now and they just say that its a protected disk and that it just wont copy or allow it to be copied
This is all just rumors that I heard while working at a video store, not sure if it's true or not.... Someone was saying that there's making a new disc that had a red bottom and it was a "Time Delay" type of thing, after a certain date the disc would not be readable. They were gonna put screeners and such on these discs to ensure that there was only a certain amount of time to view the movie. Again not sure if this is true or not, just what I heard. As for Bad Santa, mine is just a normal silver bottom color, it's a region 1 disc. Is yours a different region?
That is pretty possible - these were rental disks. The disk however work fine on my DVD player both stand alone and my PC they just refuse to be copied
