Does people know if...

What brand of paper towels were you using? I tried that and the dye fried and the polycarbonate came unbonded. Now my microwave is only fit for debugging DVDs and no longer useful for food. No more hot sandwiches, chili and beer. Well the cold beer came out of the frig, I still have that. I guess I'll have to stick to using the soldering iron on those chips. They are hard to locate though, the way they hide them under the dye.

 

I already made backup and copy them. Does that still work? Is it save to put it in there? Mess up the disc at all? Yeah, I want to know what brand of paper towel too, don't want to burn down the house just for that.

 

You all forgot about the cookies kept in the temp files of your browser. It doesn't matter if your not connected to the internet at the moment, it will still show when you do. Also, they now Teflon coat the chips [bold]Balaam[/bold] is talking about so the paper towel trick won’t work with what ever brand you use [bold]brobear[/bold] and is now a thing of the past. [bold]The only sure way is to drill out the chip, copy the DVD, then patch the hole just drilled with clear nail polish and shavings from a DVD that you don't need anymore.[/bold]

 

ROTFLMAO
i think i'm gonna have to add that to my sig.

 

Ok, this doesn't make any sense at all. I do backup my own movies but isn't an invasion of privacy when information is sent from your computer? It's like "hey we are going to bust you for backing up dvds that aren't yours", "but hey how in the hell did you know?" "your computer is a spy out to destroy you and we are just happening to be downloading everything about what your computer is doing."

If Blockbuster is going to such extremes as that, then that explains why they are losing so much money. Hollywood Video rents out the dvds and afterwhile they put it out for sale leaving a few to be sent out to other stores.

 

ddp, I was typing in my post and clicked reply before I saw what you typed. But as you can see, I don't think that it was picked up on yet.

 

party pooper

 

You guys are gonna feel bad when you see a story in the newspaper about someone burning down thier house trying to microwave a dvd-r. It's only funny until someone gets hurt - then it hilarious.

 

ddp, you did the right thing... now let's wait and see <G>

[bold]xericx[/bold] roflmao twice!!!!

 

your sick man. but who in their right mine would leave a dvd in the microwave. lets review the stages:

1) Let me put this dvd in my microwave
2) Wow look at the sparks
3) Wow its melting, it's never done that before
4) The microwave is starting to shake but im busy eating
5) My house on fire, how do i explain this?

 

Am I missing something? Not sure why this hasn't been mentioned yet, but the most tried and true method of deactivating the embedded chips in DVDs is a good old fashioned dousing of urine, due to the pH balance and specific organic proteins that invade the microscopic crevices of the circuitry and cook the chip. Similar to the way seafood is cooked in ceviche. Forget that microwave business! A golden shower might be a little more icky but at least you don't run the risk of causing a fire. As a side note, this method works well for the copy protection chip inside the DVD drive...the one that reports all your activites to the authorities. But since fitting your swizzle stick into the tray is pretty difficult, save for we unfortunate few, the cleanest and most effective method is using a q-tip to perform the application. Here to help.

 

Now wait a second, how does golden showers have to do with this forum. i would like to report an offensive post please )O:
