Hi guys,
I was jsut wondering if there was a thread somewhere where we could post our DVD protection issues, 'cos I didn't find any here...

I actually use anydvd 5.5.1.1 (latest) with DVV Copy Platinum 4 (Intervideo). I never have problems copying dvd's usually, but from time to time there seems to be a new protection not recognized by anydvd on recent movies.

Indeed, yesterday I tried to burn a new video movie "Suspect Zero" (2004, from director E. Elias Merhige, with Ben Kingsley). The copy went perfect but I was unable to read it in my player. The DVD did start but there was nothing but a black screen through all chapters. The DVD is Region 2, with logo "Sony pictures home entertainment".

Anydvd info:
"Summary for drive E: (AnyDVD 5.5.1.1)
Drive (Hardware) Region: free

Media is a Data DVD.
Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite)

Video DVD (or CD) label: DVD_VIDEO

RCE protection not found.

First look at your media. See what type of disc you have. Load a program that can tell you your disc ID like DVD Decrypter or DVDIdentifier. If your media code has CMC MAG in it, then switch media to Verbatim, Maxell made in Japan or Sony/Fuji Made in Japan. Also, when you are burning limit your speed to 4x.

However, based on the blank chapters, I am assuming that the DVD may not have been specifically addressed by AnyDVD. Look through the follwing thread to manually remove the copy protection. Just note that you have to make sure you find all of the problem cells. There may be some in different chapters of the movie:
