New stronger DVD copy protection introduced

article published on 17 February, 2005

Macrovision has developed a new, stronger DVD copy protection that it says will make it more difficult to rip protected DVDs. RipGuard will thwart most of the DVD ripping software currently on the market. According to Macrovision RipGuard protected DVDs will play in "nearly all" current DVD players.

I have an older GE DVD player that plays both DVD +R's and DVD -Rs. I got it second hand, but it works fine except I've been having trouble playing "store bought" DVD's just lately. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the first, but it's been happening more and more lately. It's mostly the new movies. Old cheapies from Walmart work just fine, and if I make a copy, that plays just fine. I was thinking the DVD player was dying, but maybe it has something to do with all this protection stuff? Any ideas?

the dvd i tried to back up wouldn't play in my stand alone player, so i tried to back it up to see if i could play the back up.....couldn't back it up so i ended up returning the original to the retailer. is that what the movie industry really wants?

Is this for real?! I have seen no proof of the logo, a screenshot, nothing at all. Come on, somebody should take a camera phone or a small digital camera into best buy & take a screenshot of the bewitched box or sumthing. It only takes a few mins, somebody needs to prove this is A SPOOF. Or forreal, let's get started on a fix.

I had trouble with Bewitched as well... DVD Decryter and Smart Ripper both failed. I used DVDFab Decryter without any problem, but did some "Googling" to see if I could find out why this DVD wasn't being cooperative. Excellent post here:

I found a way to hack the copy protection. I can't believe they did not think of this. I used SPAM converter ultimate. (which you can download free as a demo then go to a local butcher to get the free registration code to make it the full version) choose the video profile as dvd then go to file and add the video files from the Dark Knight DVD.

render it to an iso file then burn it....So *bleep* simple...They wasted their money and time with this copy protection measure....good luck to them next time..

@kudro

You'll not be here long asking for cracks. Strictly against forum rules. You might want to edit your post.

Too late. He should have read and abided by the rules. And actually he got off light with only a 2 day ban from me...
