Well I finally used Decrypter for the first time and it's really easy. I'm surprised at the speed too. This is my first time ripping DVDs and I ripped a 7.5gig DVD in 30 mins. That's awesome. I don't know what the average speed is but to me that is really fast. I also have a question. Is it possible that some DVDs aren't protected with encryption? I think I just ripped 2 DVDs only to find out after that they aren't even encrypted. I popped them in and saw on DVD Decryptor that it says there is "none" in the copyright protection spot then I popped in a DVD that I know is protected and it said that is has CSS protection. So is it possible to have no protection and I can just possibly directly copy it?
Yeah, decyrypter is great. Not sure about the other question though. All of my movies have some sort of encryption. I haven't run across one without yet.
I was wondering?? Can you use a DVD Decrypter for ripping the DVD's?? I have some DVD's from NTSC (Zone 1) and I cannot view them as my system is PAL (Zone 2). And so I was wondering if I could somehow (although I am desperately naive when it comes to technical words and things) do this. So could you help me with this??? Thanks
Yes you can use it. Download it and give it a try. Check out the guides at the beginning of the forum and they will explain how to use it.
Tomimoto, yes I have run across a few dvds that didn't have encryption. One, recently was The Arrow (Avro - that is). It was put out by the CBC, Straight Arrow Productions, Canada. Here's info from AnyDVD. Summary for drive D: Drive (Hardware) Region: 1 Media is a Data DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (parallel) Video DVD (or CD) label: 01_165 Media is not CSS protected. Video Standard: NTSC Media is region free. RCE protection not found. DVD structure appears to be correct. Changed firstplay: Jump directly to TitleMenu! Structural copy protection not found. Autorun not found on Video DVD. Bad sector protection not found. Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1!
I've also come across some that are not encrypted they were older titles like old westerns and stuff. "Adult" titles are region free..... so I've read =) hehe EDIT: Yes DVD Decrypter is awesome! And yes you can use it to backup a region 1 so that it will play on a region 2.
If you go to View/Log...a screen will pop up under the main DVD Decrypter screen that will tell you your burn rates and avg.'s when process is complete. Also you can make 1:1 copies with DVD Decrypter if the title is a DVD-5. If it is a DVD-9, then you must use another prog such as DVD Shrink to encode the movie to fit on a DVD-5.
