Oi Digi!

I had a brainwave this morning regarding DVD rippage.....

Firstly, I ran that CSS-Region-free thing, and it reset the region on my drive...NOT good (tis OK, I can fix if I can be arsed, but I never use Dos-Xp to watch videos on an ugly poor display...why would I when I have an X11 server on my linux machine that looks STUNNING)...so maybe it's not the best plan for you to use it.

BUT...I remembered something about ripping encrypted discs.

If you have DVDshrink there, try this.......

Open the DVD with Powerdvd or whatever you play DVD's with, play a bit of the disc....then exit the dvd player and immeadiately begin the ripping process with dvdshrink.

See I seem to recall, that when a player opens an encrypted disc, it decodes the css keys and saves them somewhere, leaving the disc accessible.

Cheers Steve I seem to remember this way of doing it

Lemme know if it works.

I'm still debating whether to actually switch my drive back to R2, or to wait and find out if this regionfree thing can be made to emulate regions correctly. (LOL the things I do for NOOL eh? ;) )

I have a working drive in the linux machine, and that'sthe one connected to the telly, so who cares ;)
