DVD copying software - Macrovision-free?

Am I imagining things, or was there a retail dvd copying program that
allowed you to copy macrovision-protected dvds? (I seem to recall that
Pinnacle offered such a program, but then withdrew it.) Can anyone tell
me the name and version of that - or similar products? Thanks!

Yea, that would be great huh? You just copy them, make your profit and not have any of that annoying hassle
involved in beating the system! What a guy!

It's not Retail, but free. The best ripper is DVDdecrypter followed
closely by SmartRipper. Both are available at http://www.doom9.org.
One approach is to use "IFO" mode in DVDdecypter and copy the entire
DVD to the Hard Drive, then open that as a Virtual Drive using
Daemon-Tools
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd...emon_tools.cfm
then load that in the Software DVD player.

This is useful if for instance you have to take a rental disc back
before you'fe had time to watch it, you save the whole DVD for later
viewing.

. Good Luck!

No, he's an unrepentant troll who keeps changing his alias so we
continue to be subjected to his bullshit even after we've successfully
plonked his other half-dozen identities. Do not feed the trolls.

Uh, but that said. I agree with him -- in principle.

I resemble that remark! That's dirty pool and totally unfair! I've been called a lot of things... even
FRENCH! But never a politician! You swine dog!

dvd2one
www.dvd2one.com

dvd shrink
www.dvdshrink.org

dvd decrypter
www.dvddecrypter.com

Use dvd decrypter then either dvd2one which I prefer over dvdshrink.
Then burn back using the latest nero patch of v5.5 or v6.
Both these latest patches can be downloaded from this site.

Bzzzzzzt wrong.

I buy all my original dvd's and software is all originals with the
licenses. I have had dvd rot which is a problem and scratched discs
which is a even bigger problems especially when you have ankle biters
that like to play with the discs or teenagers that leave the media out
of its case.

I backup all my originals which is my right and not illegal in this
country to do just that. It is illegal to rent and make copies or to
sell copies but not to make backups of my originals, well not in
Australia in any case. Perfectly legal to do this. Not one person has
ever been prosacuted in Australia for making backups. How do I know
this well its all in the Aus pc user mag for November. It even has dvd
decrypter, dvd shrink and many other ripping programs on the two cover
cd's. If this was illegal in this country then Aus pc user magazine
would be in hot wter for publishing this.

Robert,
I'll bet you're talking about DVD X Copy by 321 Studios. The program is
simple with a point and click interface, plus it _works_. I recommend the
Platinum version which contains other versions such as X Copy Express (even
simpler to use,) as well as DVD X Rescue that pulls data from damaged discs.
I use these programs and love them, plus they work without the hassle of
using multiple freeware type products. Easily worth the hundred buck
purchase price.
Here's the link to the site;

And here's the link to the Platinum version;

Enjoy, all the best, Mike
