When using smart ripper sometimes it asks key not found use last key (y/n). which is the best to pick, also after ripping to the hard drive whichever i chose the instant copy says css not supported from the hard drive. can anyone help/explain thanks
No! tried the suggestions but did not work, perhaps it's just to good a protection for what i'm using?. Thank's anyway jeeenee
okay jeeenee, i've done 28 days ( and wot a cracker!!) rip with dvd decrypter in file mode, squash with DVD2ONE in 'full disk' mode, burn with PRASSI, or whatever you have (but a decendent of prassi is good as the prassi engine seens to cover all players, and the game machines. Actually, i never had to re-encode mine - I bought a damaged disk from the video shop, skimmed it with 'SKIP DOCTOR' and it ripped fine.

Thanks for the reply I will try that especially the prassi side as the pinnacle instant copy won't work (well not for me).
DVD Decrypter DVD2One Nero ^ Is how I did 28 Days Later Prassi is known to not to be one of the best. Use Nero or RecordNow Max guide for RecordNow Max http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/recordnowmax.htm
ok smart ripper as it for me on the hard drive but nero comes up with a validation error/this disc may not play when played (and it doesn't)
are you using the latest version of decypter? version 3.1.6.0 has some additional encryption cracking features.
As I stated in above post if using Decrypter the tick box 'ignore read errors' [bold]jeeenee [/bold] I had an awkward DVD 'The Long Good Friday' and the only process that would work for me is DVD Shrink 2.3 in full-disk mode Try it , nothing to lose as DVD Shrink is a free d/l...
herbsman your last tip worked perfectly, re copied with shrink and then finished with Nero. Thanks everybody for the help and advise. Much appreciated
