Shrink/Decryptor cannot read DVD - Club CDFreaks

leafsfan1967 · 07-01-2004

Both DVD Shrink 3.0 and Decryptor cannot read an Apollo 13 DVD I am trying to read. It says there is a copy protection on it. Is there any way to get through the copy protection?

Thanks a lot.

I am trying to use DVD Decryptor. Is there a difference between the one I got off of a forum link or the one from Digital Digest? Where can I get access to that?

Thanks

You should not be getting those error messages

Play the DVD for a bit in your player software, then try again. Also, do you have some region-defeating measures working? sometimes they interfere with ripping.

REgion Defeating measures?

You are going to have to go into a little more detail with that because I have no idea what that means.

Thanks

Commercial DVDs have a number of goodies in them designed to stop you from:

a) Copying them
b) Playing them in another Region (loosely, country) other than the one designated by the studios.

Many of the items of software you will read about in these threads are designed to get round those restrictions. Their other purpose being mostly to provide methods of reducing the size of the original DVD's files so they will fit on a DVD blank. (Commercial DVDs are up to 9GB in size, whereas blanks are only 5GB, which is why you'll sometimes see them described as DVD5 and DVD9 respectively)

Because the breaking of these codes and encryptions to make a copy is, strictly speaking, illegal, at least in some countries, you won't usually find the ability to break the codes and make copies in the same software. Thus a typical approach might be to rip the original files to the hard drive with DVD Decrypter, and to transcode them from there with DVD2One (or any of the many other similar programs).

Your problem is interesting because DVD Decrypter should ignore the various prohibitions and encryptions and actually remove them as it copies the files. The error you complain of shouldn't be seen!

The suggestion has been made that you might have some other piece of software co-resident, designed to do a similar job, that we don't know about, which is interfering with DVD Decrypter.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is some sort of mis-match between the region encoding of your DVD player (the one you're ripping from) and the DVD itself. DVD Decrypter then goes into some sort of brute force mode, which isn't always successful.
