hi everyone im sorry if this is in the wrong part, heres my question? i went to the usa a bought some dvd's brought them home and guess what, wont play wrong region, can some one please tell me what is the best software to copy these over so i can play the copy on my dvd player? i had dvd shrink which put it on my hard drive but have no good copying software so if any one can help, ill be very greatful thanks, look forward to your answers,
Are you sure you just can't shrink/burn the copy to a DVD, now that the region coding has been removed?. I know that PAL machines in the UK can play NTSC disks.
hi atta thanks for answer, well yes your right, but it keeps saying this dvd is protected,and we are in region 2, i think usa is in 1, so it wont play,all i want to do it copy it? also with the movie i have got from the net, when i play it back i have a little flicker on the right hand side of the screen it does not happen when i plat bought dvd's, it cant be my disk because i tried 10 today and all show that flicker on the right hand side, so could it be the dvd player its only a cheap one haha. hope to hear from you soon thanks again
When it gets ripped to the hard drive with DVDFab HD Decrypter, the region protection is removed - then DVD shrink can be used on it before burning to a new disk.
hi attar well i went and got a decrypter called dvd43 it works in the background "not sure how" when you put dvd in player a little face on the bottom og the screen goes from yellow to green saying its reconised the disk,ive tried it with other programs but does it only work with avs converter? there is one thing tho, my disks from the usa are region 1 and here in the uk its region 3 if thats any help ??thanks again attar
I'm not familiar with DVD43. It works in the background to remove decryption? While it's running, you can rip the disk. Download DVD Shrink, install it, run it, click 'Open Disc'. After it opens the disk, click 'Backup' and have it rip the DVD files to a folder on the hard drive. If you have Nero installed it will offer you the option of burning files to a blank disk. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm
No, no, no, a thousand times no. Never, ever use dvd 43. Just screws up the pc. Ask others.If you want a proggie that works in the background well. please use Anydvd (not free, but worth the money)
This is definitely worth jumping on the bandwagon for, and I will put it rather bluntly. DVD43 SUCKS. As 1bonehead stated it screws up your PC by conflicting with other programs and more importantly most of the time it doesn't work. AS stated if you want an on the fly program go with AnyDVD. If you want free go with DVDFab, plain and simple.
hi ferguj well what can i say you guys have a great sence of humour, i read your bit about bonehead hahaha anyway i downloaded dvdfab hd decrypter and bingo it takes the protection off and i copied dvd and plays great, thank you for your advice, im very greatful, have a good weekend, thanks again
