How many titles are there currently available with this new protection system on, and have they been succesfully cracked with FAB, also does this new protection pose a serious threat to DVDFAB, or does it need laughing at, also what manufacturing companies are currently using or going to use this protection !!!!!

If you had used the " search function" you would have found this

How did that thread you supplied that I had ALREADY read by searching the forum answer my question in any way, I suggest you read my question again.

I have know idea of how many title have this protection and I doubt anyone else does either, but it answers all your other questions if you actually read the thread. Google is your friend.

Google comes up with nothing, and there are only a few references to it elsewhere, but I have just updated fab to the beta version 2.9.8.5 beta and in the changelog I can see that Fengtao is now adding support for this protection with a named disc title in region 2, I am region 2, so there must be other known titles, so maybe someone should keep a note of them, so we don't get caught out and spend precious time trying to backup a disc that we think is Ripguard or Arrcoss, maybe Fengtao will know how many titles and there names !!!!

Dear all,

There is a customer who sent me the IFO files, and told me that it contains Edge-9 protection. The protection is different from ARccOS and RipGuard, so I think it may be Edge-9. Now I'm waiting the reply of the customer to get more information.

Best Regards,
Fengtao

Fengtao, i think it's a man who wants to test you....

This protection is really structuraly different?

What's news?

Thankyou for your answer Fengtao, It looks like nothing to worry about for you and me

There is definetly new protection on R2 discs. Don't know if it si edge9 or someone mentioned core x2 in other post. But I wasn't able to backup Lord of War R2. DVDdecrypter not even loads disc (something with unable to read vts informomation), latest dvdfab decrypter messages on disc analysis unable to read disc information err. # 1000.

Hi cepielka,

Please send us all the .IFO files on Original disc, then we will check the problem.

A recommended way is listed below:
1) Open an Explorer window, and navigate to VIDEO_TS folder of the DVD.
2) Copy all files ending with .IFO to hard disk.
3) ZIP the IFO files on hard disk to one file. Name it with a readable filename, like Stealth_UK.zip.
4) Send the zip file to fengtao(at)dvdidle.com, you need replace (at) with @.

Best Regards,
Fengtao

I don't know where you are in region 2, but I am in England, and I backed up "Lord Of War" when it first came out ages ago, and I used whatever version of DVDFab(free) was out at that time without any problems(full disc) so could be an update problem.

I think cepielka is talking about Slovak version, and it do contain a new protection.

Yes Slovak / Czech region. So there is really new protection ?

Froggythrower: Well, it's different disc, because of different distribution. There are local distributors who buy rights and release own DVDs. It's not same like when you have for example Warner Bros. UK and they distribute WB titles. I hope it makes sense. Same problem is with czech DVD "Proof". I don't know what protection is on these disc - Lord of War / Proof, but it came from Brickbox

Yes I understand that now Sonoluca, thankyou, you have got it hardest of us all then, at least we know the distributors dare not mess with the discs we buy.

OT/
The biggest problem is new law, you must not make a backup of DVD you own if it's protected. You can only backup DVDs with no protection -- it's ridiculous. And i don't know how it comes in UK but we pay here special taxes (included in price of blank DVD, CD, new HDD, MP3 player, etc.) which come to private organization - representative of singers, bands, etc. Who cares lots of people use HDD or DVD/CD media for backup their own work. So these "artists" can only sit home and wait for our money.
/OT

So the artists would receive money when you buy blank DVD/CD even if you were not going to use it to back up commercial/protected material ??? That's just criminal and wouldn't be accepted here.
In UK (and most of the world I imagine) we are not allowed to backup anything that is protected by copyright, except our own home movies, not even titles we bought/own, not even record the television programs, it doesn't matter if the discs themselves are protected to stop you backing up or not, but it doesn't stop people, just look at how many people downloaded RIPIT4ME in it's first month of becoming available 134,000 times, that means there are a lot of backups out there!!!!!

Hi.

Was you able to check those IFOs? Few people who were PM me are impatient

Hi cepielka,

Please be patient. I'm working on a complete new protection removal engine, and in my testing, all such discs is ok.

The new beta should be out in several days.

Fengtao

New version of Core X2 will be different from any version released yet on DVDs.

Hi Fengtao,
I really don't want to be a douche bag, but I'd like to ask you, if you already have some idea what date we can expect some solution?

Thanx a lot,
Hans

Hi Hans,

Since the CORE X2 is only released in Czech, and we do support it in latest beta (although it's not perfect for now), we will focus on making DVDFab 3 Final at first.

Best Regards,
Fengtao

Not sure if this will help you.
