I had dvd shrink & decrypter, plus anydvd for the trial. And it worked fine. but ever since the anydvd trial ran out. it doesn't work. it says on dvd shrink that the regions have been changed to many times. Someone on the forum told me to run convert c:/fs.ntfs, and i think every since it hasn't work, without the anydvd any way. i have installed a new program dvd xcopy platinum & that's coming up with a error message too now. It says the disc you inserted is css encrypted. So is that because of the convertion to ntfs. can someone please help. thanks
looks like you got either some bum info, or have some of the terms mixed up. I use Shrink heavily and Decypter too, though i address the problem with regions at source, ie i have region-free firmware on all of my dvd drives/burners. Let me know the name of your dvd-rom drive or burner and i will point you in the direction of region-free firmware if i can find it. Converting to NTFS is nothing to do with regions/protections, but will basically allow single files bigger than 2GB to be created, whereas file systems such as FAT32 will only allow single filesm of up to 2GB to be created.
I have a acer aspire, winxp pen4 and dvd burner D:OPTORITE DVD RW DDO405, I hope i've given u the right info. If you need more just let me know. i need all the help i can get, thanks
let's try something - download Nero info-tool from here - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/neroinfo.html Run it, click on the drive tab, if it says Optorite in top left corner, look to right hand side and let me know the firmware version listed there. Here's what mine shows - http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/creaky/neroinfotool-example-of-drive-tab.jpg
i've ran the nero info tool and so now where do i go to get the drives, sorry to bother you like this. i just want it fixed.

Region Protection Control : RPC II Region : 1 Changes User : 0 Changes Vendor : 4 there's the problem, i'm just checking my drive to compare...
mine says this - Region Protection Control : RPC II Region : 2 Changes User : 2 Changes Vendor : 3 - yours says 0 changes left in the user field, now we gotta figure out how to change it. My Sony drive is really a Lite-On so i have a utility to change regions or disable region-free altogether. I'll have a look see what i can find to allow you to change yours.... plus i checked, your firmware (1.60E) is up to date
sorry, i'm a bit slow today. found it - try this, it tells you what region you're set to, and how many changes left. - http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/driveinfo.html Just noticed a few other things that you need to sort out - DMA is off on the Optowrite drive. Sort this out by doing this - - just be very careful using Regedit. - this is rather long in the tooth now, download an update, 6.6.0.14 is the latest version - this is packet writing software and tends to interfere with Nero Burning Rom. I would download the update as i suggested above, then do a complete uninstall of your current Nero (obviously keeping a note of the serial number). Nero is a bugget to uninstall as it leaves crap behind. See here for correctly removing Nero - " http://www.nero.com/en/Clean_Tools.html " . Then install the update. - if i recall correctly this isn't much good. Either way you have Nero Burning Rom so i'd ditch the Sonic software - Get latest ASPI here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm so download and install
i ran the drive regioninfo v2.2, it says the drive has region protection region info region code 1 user 0 changes left man 4 changes left status fixed cannot be changed can you tell if i've done it right, & what does that mean
Basically your current firmware is RPC-2 which means you can only switch the DVD drive's region 5 times, and you've got zero changes left. There is a region free (rpc-1) version 1.60E of your firmware here - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1811 and see here for a bit more info for changing the regions - http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=239 Basically, I don't have to do any of this myself as my drive is set ignore region protection via my Lite-on utility. For your drive, changing the firmware to rpc-1 (region-free) is only one part of the solution, the other part is to use something such as dvd-genie to change the region once 5 changes have been made. Get dvd genie 4.10 here - http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/showsoftware_dvdgenie_44.html
ok, i have got rid of sonic my dvd, installed aspi, uninstalled the nero express & downloaded the newer version, plus downloaded the firmware & dvd genie & i've tried it & it works. thanks heaps so much,
hi @ creaky - i just read all this thread and wow that help was tops! i think you should run for mayor! you surpassed your self, above and beyond the call of duty, also theres a nero log i see which you havent answered yet, but wait for it man its big and its coming at ya... have a beer on me bud... infact have a bud. ;-])
@star223 - nice one, we got there in the end!. Any Nero logs, i'm ya man!. in fact paste the last section of Nero log in case there's some things to tweak. don't post the serial number tho! @Rotary - cheers, i was desperate to get some shuteye and was scrabbling to write up the last bit as star223 was actively replying, didn't want to leave it unsolved. I'm sounding like my beloved Dana Scully now
