why does my pc not read chuck and larry dvd

any other dvd still plays but i put chuck and larry dvd in lite-on shw-160p6s and drive lite comes on then drive makes clicking noise and light stays on and no playback.seems like dvd is crashing drive.disc looks fine and plays on my pstwo fine

 

sounds like new copy protection

 

the disc said ripguard on the inside by the spindal hole.
anyone else heard of this or know why pc will not read disc

There is the company who makes it, try getting it decrypted via DVDFAB Decryptor. Hmm. Ill do some more researching.

EDIT: AnyDVD users are safe, or so says another forum.
EDIT EDIT: AnyDVD, DVDFAB, and FreeDVD are the programs that can be used to get rid of that stupid Ripguard.

 

i have dvdfab3 but my pc would not even recognize the disc, would anydvd or anything else correct this

 

Hi, i got the same problem with << Das Leben der Anderen >> dvd: the dvd player in my hifi system plays it fine, but with the dvd-drive of my laptop... there's no way at all, the laptop doen't even see it! I tried to change disc, same results.
it MUST be a new protection mechanism.

 

Well, all we can do is wait. I hope they get this cracked soon, haha. I liked Chuck and Larry.

 

i hope they get it cracked also.
i am sure they will soon

 

Hold down the shift key as you insert the DVD and keep it down until the drive spins up. That stops auto-run, which you really shouldn't have turned on anyway.

 

men, read this...!

the same issue is being discussed in another thread of this forum <DVD problem when put into PC>.

 

this works to bypass autorun but the drive acts the same way,spins up makes and some cicking noises

 

for some reason this link works on the other thread and not this one , it gives me a google can't find page.
the other thread topic also differs to where the chuck and larry dvd tries to load , will not load , and causes some programs to not respond. the dvd will not read to put in any program

 

sorry, this link should work:

it seemed to me that the two threads shared similar issues, as this new protection makes dvd be played on dvd-players other than within a pc.

 

What if some people don't have DVD players, and want to watch via there PC? Hows that going to work? I think this is just stupid.
