| CSS... my pain...  Ok, where do I start... Ouh, yes... I know NOTHING of DVD copying. That's why I've been browsing the net for the past 2 days, and have been trying softwares of any kind and version... From rippers (AnyDVD, DVD Decrypter, SMartRipper...) to transcoders (DVDX, CLoneDVD), to burners (DVDX Copy Xpress, Power CDR Express, Nero 6)... I think I've seen almost all of them. Until now, I've been able just to get a CSS protected DVD to a folder on my hard drive full of .IFO, .VOB and .BUP files. I got the fact that I can just burn files on dvds smaller then 4.7 gigs, so I got everything until the last part... BURNING!!!!  With SmartRipper I can enable DeMacromedia, Region Free and Unlock Drive, but, damn... When I get to burning, no matter what software I choose, from Nero to CLoneDVD to Power CDR, whatever... I'm not able to get those files backed up on a readable DVD+R/RW media. The one that get closest to the job is CloneDVD, although when I get to burning page, it tells me something like "not comptatible with CSS" and then a series of numbers and stuff. So I get to keep my blank dvds and spare money, but I also get to keep my frustration up to dangerous levels... Especially when I see that there are many of you people who are able to burn CSS encrypted movies. HOW DO YOU DO THAT??? My DVD writer is a plextor px504A, I've downloaded the ASPI drivers, and I was thinking about flashing it to region free, but I've been told it's very dangerous so, until I don't get to understand how exactly flashing works I won't be trying it... Please help me! What software do u use to burn CSS protected? Is it a problem with my DVD writer? Do I miss some files/utilities/firmware/drivers in order to completely decrypt those movies? again, HELP!!!! Or I'll be very soon so frustrated that I'll get crazy and I'll start eating DVD-Rs to exteriorate my anger... THANK YOU!!!  |

| only thing i have ever used is dvd shrink http://www.dvdr-digest.com/software/...file=dvdshrink also dvdshrink encodes it and decyrptes it for ya ...that is only program u have to use ..no region dvd or anthing else and nero 5.5.10.28 using nero express cause it can cause less errors and it is easier okay now burning it is easy part open nero express pick your burner at top drop down should say your burner [dvd] now the [dvd] part after burner is important shows you getting to the dvd options and burning part then option below is dvd-video files .... choose it the move the files from folder you have vob files and other files and just drop and drag (or add them ) then just burn ... also dont verify the process and close the dvd also big note ..I always make folder on desktop to put the image files in ..with dvd shrink you choose that file when making the backup ... just go to folder on desktop .... then when you go to burn just open nero and go to folder and open that folder and just drop and drag all files in the folder you made on desktop to nero express ..that easy cheers any questions ... IM me or message me at giovanni40220@msn.com have fun making your backups by the way never had a problem backing up any dvd that i have cept disney once but it was scratched ...

| ok... Nero 6 is bugged...  So I didn't go for that one... I mean very, badly bugged... It locks my Win XP system up... (if u think that my win xp locks every 3 days of non stop working, u understand what I mean by "badly bugged"...) I had then reinstall my previous version but, given that I couldn't wait for it to finish installing, I used DVDShrink for the ripping, and, damn it! It works like a charm! It seemd as if CSS had disappeared!! YEAH!!! Then I used CloneDVD, and it worked great! So u sure did help... :-D DENGHIU! CIAOOOOOO!!!

| dont know to be too honest I already know there is bug in it ...I have used up to nero 5.5.10.42 or 5.5.10.48 and had no problems ...the bug in 5.5.10.50 has to do with vcd files and I am sure since that is along lines of dvd that there are more bugs ..but hey tht is just my two cents

| So you're saying use any nero version but not v.5.5.10.50 ? I currently have nero 5.5.9.0. Will that do it or should I look for 5.5.10.48 ? What does the bug do ?

| Nero 5.5.10.50 seams to have tha same burning engine at Nero 6.0.x and the same problems. Go with Nero 5.5.10.20 to 48, have tried them all and they work fine for DVDR burning.

| DVDShrink is there a way to tell DVDShrink to rip the DVD, but also divide it in 2, so to be able to have the movie at higher resolution in 2 different dvds? Also, if there's a way to do this, is it also possible to burn just the menus of the chapters/extras contained in the second dvd? Thanx! Lemm know, ppl...
