Hi I have not been in the forum in a while. You guys help me so much with my dvd dopying previously. I have a problem now now sure what is going on. I have dvd x copy platnum. and I can not copy any of my movies. I just purchased some and it will not let me copy any of them Now i know that not too long ago I went on and added the windows pack2 to my computer would that have anything to do with it. I can not make a copy at all. now.. the latest message said something about encryted something. I was backing up my movies pretty good up until this point. Could someone help me out please. thanks
Hi Gretta, Do you think you could provide a bit more information ? What are your PC's specs ? What steps are you taking prior to receiving your errors ? EXACTLY what does the error say ? Do you have a RF version of XCopy or a ripper version ? Have you tried any other programs ? Which ones ? Let's get answers for all of the questions so we know where to start - Cheers, Pete
Opps my bad Ok here are my pc stat I am running windows xp i have 1024 mb of ram 2.8 ghz pent4 80 gb hd with 33 gb remaining. I am running dvd x copy express Rf with a ripper inside of it. umm the version is 4.0.4.15 umm i just downloaded the dvd shrink but i never used anything else. I hope i posted everything.
Oh i oringally had dvd x copy platnum upgraded express 4.0.4 and then added a ripper inside. I installed 321RIP.exe. it was working fine. i just tried to do and now it will not back any of my movies i just purchased.
ok another thing i thought i should tell you the drive i usually put the movies in I tried to look at one and i got this message in real player: The DVD cannot be played. Key exchange for DVD copy protection failed. and this messagein windows media: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because a problem occurred with digital copyright protection. what is going on? does this have anything to do with the windows sercutiry pack 2?
Hi Gretta, Actually it does. The new Win Media Player tries to control everyhting. You can try going to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, DVD/CD ROM Drives. Right-click on your Drives and select "Uninstall". Then "OK" out of everything and reboot your PC. When you begin to boot up again, your PC should find your drives and reinstall them. Hopefully they'll be fine. Me, I just uninstalled the SP2 and I'll wait until they have the bugs out if it for a while - Now what we'll do for now is hook you up with a good copy system (much better than XCopy and once you're set up, easier and if you don't mind spending time, a far superior backup. You're 1/2 way there with DVD Shrink - follow this guide (about 1/2 of the way down the page) and you'll be backing up DVD's in 20 minutes - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2/74599 Remember to stop back and tell me how you made out - Pete
Hi I did everything you just told me to do.. well i uninstall the dvd hardware and I restarted it and still have the same problem. I am so ready to cry.. i so hate computer problems.
Hey, hey, No crying around here. We've all hit a wall using XCopy at one time or another - consider this your time - Now is the time to use the guide at the end of my last post and use better proggys to do your work - Off you go now and use that guide Pete
question how do i uninstall the microsoft thing?? i will go look at the guide now. I stayed up all night long trying to figure it out.
I tried it and nothing worked umm. i notice that in the turoial it said that decrypt wil cme up by itself it ddi not odo that after i press back up and it finsihed backup the file so i am thinking now wha. of course i did not pay any attention as to where the file is on my computer. LOL I looked in the folder i made but i see nothing. so where is it?? any where i do not know what to do from here at all.
Gretta, You should be able to do that through - Control Panel, Add / Remove proggys, Add/ Remove Windows components. OR just go to System Restore and jump back before you installed SP2. AFA, using my guide, PRINT IT OUT and follow it step by step, All the settings are there and it should work fine - You won't "SEE" DVD Decrypter open, it will just burn and when it's finished, you'll hear it's little tune play Look back in the "Backup" window, the address where you sent the file is still there At the very end I told you, at the "Select target image file", Browse till you find your created folder for your backup, Then click "Save", then "OK" and you were done. PRINT OUT THE GUIDE so you don't miss any steps. To insure you don't have any more trouble, go to msconfig, Startup, "Click" Disable all, Ok, then Ok again to reboot the computer. Remember, DO NOT TOUCH THE PC WHILE IT'S WORKING. It needs 100% of it's resources to do your work. Trying to "multi-task will ruin your backup job. Pete
if i were u i wood u the programme clone dvd 2.2. its brilliant i have never had 1 problem with it try winmx u can download it from there
andy248, I'm not sure but I think you're talking about CloneDVD 2. It may be all well and good to suggest programs BUT that program can't operate on it's own. It requires something like AnyDVD to rip the program before it can be used. My point ? Not everyone that comes here has the $70.00 (USD) or more to go purchase 2 programs when there are others that do it better and are FREE. AnyDVD doesn't always rip the DVD well enough so that ColoneDVD can use it AND it's quality isn't as good as DVD Shrink when used with Deep Analysis and Quality Enhancement. Please check your PM mail, thanks Pete
