March 1, 2005 Hi my name is Eugene and I'm a member of AfterDawn. I also have received an e-mail from AfterDawn with the latest news update on DVDs. I'm sure most of you members have. Do any of you have done or creates DVD Rippers? Well, when I got the news update from AfterDawn, one of the article tells about there will be a New DVD copy protection called "RipGuard" which is made by Macrovision. http://www.macrovision.com/products/ripguard/index.shtml They say this time it will be harder for us to rip DVDs. This will take affects in September of this year on all new DVD movies. They say that you never will be able to make DVD backup into your PC!!! Now my question for you, if any of you folks have done DVD ripping, or created Ripping tools, is there a way that you can come up with a tool that would unlock "RipGuard"?? Or is there one ripping tools that is already prepaired to unlock all guards, besides Ripguard??? This "RipGuard" toll freaks me out!!! But I hope there's a solutions. That's why I dropped a line to you folks. However, it's too early to tell whether if there a tool out there that would unlock the new RipGuard that is coming in September. The above website I included, shows how RipGuard works. Maybe if you fols are DVD Ripper tools author, you can study what and how RipGaurd works. If so, then maybe you folks might come up with a way to get around with it. Hope all this helps with answers. Thanks, Eugene ECruz'N
