I don't know if I can explain how to get past this latest protection on this forum, but I found out how using two well known softwares in conjunction. Moderators, if this ok, I'd like to let everyone know.....
What I did is use DVDIdle Pro version 5.5 or higher in conjunction with DVD Shrink 3.2 DVDIdle Pro acts ase the first line of attack. It removes Sony protection, the new RipGuard Protection by Macrovision on all new DVD's that have the copy protection Icon on the back of the movie box... When you install DVDIdle Pro, on the program tab, you will see it is made to work with almost every known DVD copy and or ripping software available. When you use DVD Shrink, you will notice that because DVDIdle Pro is running, it will say no encryption! Thats cause DVDIdle Pro took care of it for DVD Shrink! No more stalling out during analyzing or crashing! Enjoy! Very cool check it out and let me know if this also works for you.
U can do basically the same thing with DVD43, DVDFab, etc in conjunction with Shrink, Recode 2, etc... There are various combinations to employ. Glad this is your combo of choice and that it works for you...
I just tried this out with backing up The Forgotten. Keeps crashing on me with this and anydvd even after saying its removed everything? What else should I try?
sstroked, Welcome to the forum. DVDDecrypter ( lastest and last version) will decrypt it and also AnyDVD ( current version) will also. When using DVDDecrypter do file mode, whole disk. Then use Shrink and do a re-author doing only the movie. Using AnyDVD in conjuction w/ Shrink do also movie only in re-author mode
sstroked Try Decrypter (latest version) for this movie. Also make sure you are using the latest AnyDVD - it should handle the protection on this disc. What error are you receiving?
when analysing its saying Failed to read file E: Data Error (cylic redundancy check) with 1 minute left damnit!
sstroked; Yep that's one of the things a CRC means. Also add dirty disc or bad pressing. Try cleaning the disc. Here's a few things to try before the last soluation of exchaning the disc. You could try Decryper in ISO mode to read. Open the image in shrink and shrink it. Try doing just the movie only. Sometimes that last 1% is just the special features.
I was going to try that but I dont have 10gb on my computer that it requires. I'll just get another DVD and see what happens Quick question for you when backing up the iso file with shrink is there a faster way that wont make the quailty come out bad? It takes me like 3 to 4 1/2 hours just to back it up. Then another 3 hours 2x with Decrypter to complete it. Thanks
@ antknee27: Can you give an example of a DVD where you found Rip Guard on the back of the movie box.
sstroked Wow that is a long time!!! I used to use a computer for copying that had like a 500mhz cpu w/ 128 ram. Max 3 hours. Needless to say I was pushing it to the max and then some. Make sure you are in DMA mode instead of PIO mode. Here's a guide to help plus it has a few other tidbits that may help: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/petesguide1.html Hopefully you do not have a drive that limits/locks down your ripping speed. As for the quality cut back on your compression. Also make sure you are using quality media like TY, Verbatim, Sony or Fuji.
anyknee27: >>>>It removes Sony protection, the new RipGuard Protection by Macrovision on all new DVD's that have the copy protection Icon on the back of the movie box... <<< Hmmm. The new Sony protection sheme is known as "ARccOs." It, of course, has nothing to do with "Ripguard." Ripguard is a Macrovision protection which has been announced and trumpeted by its creator. However, as far as anyone knows, it has yet to actually show up on DVDs at any retailers. In fact, most would assume that it has not yet been used on a single commericial release. In the interest of avoiding misleading posts, and misleading thread titles, might I suggest that you a.) read the forum rules; and, b.) avoid multiple postings on the same topic; and, c.) make judicious use of your editing abilities. As for the recent anti-copy logo which has begun to appear on some of the recently released DVDs, as far as anyone knows, this logo is merely that -- a logo. Because it is a mere image created with ink on paper products, I do not believe that any special ripper or combination of rippers is required to deal with it. It's only a logo. Nothing more. -Bruce
