That seems like a lot, although it may be worth it to preserve my DVD collection. But I probably won't do it until I have an actual failure.<br /><br />@Manesteiner: I think I used the trial version of DVD Fab years ago, but at the time DVD Decrypter was able to do the same thing. I need to check on the cost.<br /><br />I should ask everyone: What software can backup / copy 3D Blu-Ray, assuming the computer has a 3D Blu-ray drive, assuming such a thing exists?Dr. Φhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086783503820477029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-20056946030822514202014-11-01T21:20:33.496-04:002014-11-01T21:20:33.496-04:00@Trumwill: Hypothetically . . . thanks!

Plus, there is something satisfying about being able to control the process.<br /><br />But I will keep it in mind.Dr. Φhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086783503820477029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-39963535843280621592014-10-29T20:59:53.372-04:002014-10-29T20:59:53.372-04:00DVD Decrypter has been outdated for years.

It's still a useful tool and it will work on maybe 75% of DVD's, but not ones with newer encryption. <br /><br />I haven't kept up with recent developments, but when I did, I noticed that DVD Fab would crack even the newest encryption algorithms. And it was constantly updated. <br /><br />Once you strip off the encryption with Fab you could use DVD Shrink to compress the files to fit on a standard DVD, or convert the files to a single mpeg file if you wanted.månesteinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442277691860213285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-67057976969510324962014-10-27T14:44:04.442-04:002014-10-27T14:44:04.442-04:00Well, hypothetically, it would probably be easier ...Well, hypothetically, it would probably be easier to get the file from an external source than to generate it yourself.

They must commit to updating their stack<br />when new techniques come out. Eventually, all the free software<br />attacking this problem seems to fade due to lack of stamina.<br /><br />I messed around with a bunch of different software stacks over the last<br />decade and a half, but the consensus among geeks at the chip maker that<br />I was working at was that you need to use <a href="http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html" rel="nofollow">SlySoft's AnyDVD</a> to<br />consistently break DVD encryption/obfuscation techniques. You can get<br />their DVD ripper as well, but <a href="https://handbrake.fr/" rel="nofollow">Handbrake</a> works just fine once AnyDVD<br />strips out the trickery.LDiracDeltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093438666347733550noreply@blogger.com
