An interesting article from Slysoft:and cdfreaks
With the latest release of AnyDVD, version 6.0.8.0, SlySoft has again confirmed its position as the market leader in providing video DVD decryption software. With this version it is now possible to bypass the new "Protect DVD-Video" copy protection which first appeared on the DVD "Silent Hill" (german rental version).
Among other mechanisms, Protect DVD-Video comes up with a messed-up UDF file system, in which an IFO file appears with a zero-byte length on a regular PC. The unsurprising result is that these DVDs will refuse to run on a Windows PC with Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center Edition or all software players that are based on DirectShow (e.g. the very popular ZoomPlayer).
"With this copy protection the film industry clearly overshot the mark", says Giancarlo Bettini, CEO at SlySoft. "The premium customer who spent a lot of money on his multimedia home cinema and who, for quality reasons, would never even consider watching anything else but an original DVD, is being slapped in the face. These customers with their shelves stuffed with rightfully aquired DVDs, can't watch their videos."
This is incredible nonsense! Any Media Center freak will have no choice but to install AnyDVD on his PC in order to watch his original DVD."
"The film industry should actually thank us for taking care of their premium customers so well. Maybe one day I'll be nominated for an Oscar", Bettini adds with a grin.
Background info:
The company ProtectDisc is being run by Volkmar Breitfeld, also managing director of ACE (FluxDVD copy protection). Remarkably enough, Volkmar Breitfeld was previously known for creating copy protection circumventing products like InstantCopy or InstantCD/DVD, before he changed fronts to selling copy protection mechanisms.
THE TOTAL ARTICLE POSTED AT CDFREAKS
Protect DVD-Video slaps face of PC and Media Center owners
Posted by Dan Bell on 11 October 2006 - 17:58 - Source: ZDNet Blogs
The movie industry just doesn't get it. This is a new century and the times, they are a-changing. But the studio bosses just keep on ignoring technology like they are on rails, kicking the consumer where it hurts every chance they get. Another copy protection scheme that some studios may decide to use for DVDs, has hit the streets and is courting tinsel town. This time they want to try and stop you from using your legally purchased DVD movies on a PC! All of course in the name of stopping piracy. Right, I've seen that movie too, the plot's thinner than a Will Ferrell flick.
Protect DVD-Video is a copy protection technology that will not allow playback of discs sporting the protection on a Windows PC using Windows Media Player or DirectShow. Protect DVD-Video by ProtectDisc, is basically a mechanism for mangling the IFO file that is used for menus and such on a DVD movie and have it be reported to Media Player as a zero byte file ..very clever, but also annoying.
Of course, if you just dropped coin for a Media Center OS home theater PC, the interface uses the Windows Media Player by default, so this is a major pain in the posterior, if you mistakenly purchase a movie with ProtecDisc. But not to worry, it has been defeated already by Slysoft. However, it is a sad state of affairs when we have to pay for additional software in order to use our legitimate purchases on our equipment.
"With this copy protection the film industry clearly overshot the mark", says Giancarlo Bettini, CEO at SlySoft. "The premium customer who spent a lot of money on his multimedia home cinema and who, for quality reasons, would never even consider watching anything else but an original DVD, is being slapped in the face. These customers with their shelves stuffed with rightfully acquired DVDs, can't watch their videos."
Man, I wonder if Hollywood will ever wake up and realize who is buttering their bread? The thing that is really annoying, is most of the time, these DVDs are merely pressed copies of films that already made scads of money at the box office. So this DVD version enhances an already insanely profitable project. I say it is insanely profitable, as I know of few other places where workers receive tens of millions of dollars for a few months work. Those interested can read the entire blog by visiting this link at ZDNet.

A BIGGER BITCH
4x 8x DVD discs being passed off as 16-18x in Taiwan
Posted by Dan Bell on 11 October 2006 - 17:33 - Source: DigiTimes
According to a DigiTimes reporter quoting "industry sources"; media that are in reality, 8x and 4x DVD+R/-R discs, are now being passed off as 16x and 8x respectively and the problem seems to be on the increase.
As demand for 16x DVD+R/-R discs grows with the increasing use of 16x and 18x DVD burners, some makers have mislabeled their discs with higher speeds in order to grab profits, the sources pointed out, noting that there have been reported cases of counterfeited TDK 8x and 16x DVD+R/-R discs made by small makers in Taiwan.
The article mentions that among Taiwanese manufacturers, only CMC, Ritek, Prodisc, Daxon and Lead Data are capable of producing the 16x discs. The smaller producers are limited to the slower 4 and 8x speeds.

ye think ye have a bitch read this
Restaurant owner's bad night
p2pnet.net News:- Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary" may cost Michael Dorr, the married father of two and the owner of Imbibe in Portland, Oregon, his business, says The Oregonian.
Dorr has been hit by the American Society of Musicians and Publishers who claim when one of their reps paid a visit to his restaurant, he heard covers of three songs, including the Hendrix classic, performed by local band Black Notes, says the story.
Dorr, "didn't think he had to pay the musicians and publishers group an estimated $2,000 to cover performances of copyrighted tunes" and now the ASMP is demanding between $750 and $30,000 for each song, plus attorney fees.
"It's basically going to bankrupt me and put me out of business," The Oregonian quotes Dorr as saying. "I can't afford the lawyer and the fees. It's going to close me down. It's scary for me and my family.
"The restaurant business is hard and on top of other things, business is slow. This is the icing on the cake."

OK, I am not trying to pick a fight here but, I remember seeing a thread (I can't find it now) in the All Other Topics section and it was someone asking about how to convert a movie or something they downloaded. The thread was closed and the answer given for closing it was "piracy".
But, in that case, didn't this rule apply to that thread?

@Antomic ... burning the midnight oil me boy?
@Everyone...I'm at my sister's house in the little state of Rhode Island. I wanted to say hello to everone before hitting the hay. I took a train from Philadelphia to Providence; at $200 round trip, it's little wonder they can't sell the notion of public transportation to the general public. I could have rented a car for days for that little piece of change.
It was a trying trip. I hate cell phones at any time but for whatever reason, they seem even worse on the train. Why do people always talk twice as loud on a cell phone? Worse yet, why do they discuss such disgusting things which, under normal circumstances, they would never even discuss face to face?
Today, on my way to Providence, a pregnant women was discussing her obvious condition. Have they no sense of propriety these people? While eating my roast beef sandwich with some seriously stinky cheese, this strumpett just speaks without reservation and for the whole world to hear about how "dialated" she is and how deceiving certain cramps are. Do I really need to hear this while eating my pink and pungent roast beef sandwhich with honeymustard? Do I need to know the size of the widening abyss in the netheregions? Do I really need to know the intensity of her vaginal sizemic activity before the big explosion?
What ever happened to sleeping on the train?
Ah well, enough bitching; I must go to bed anyway. If anyone knows of a way I can block cell phone connections for a twenty foot radius, would you kindly write and tell me how? Well, sleep tight, boys and girls!

I have heard that before, on a Trax Train. I was on my way up to the U of U one day and I guess this lady was trying to get to the U of U hospital or something because she was talking about the exact same thing as that lady was in Gerry1's case.
I was going to go to sleep too (its kind of hard on those stupid benches but its possible) as it was pretty early when I went up there. With the moaning and other garbage echoing though my head I could not fall asleep to save my life.
Luckily I had my MP3 Player with me, (A simple one, a USB memory stick with an attachment so it can play music stored on it), so I just plugged it in and my earphones cut out most of the sound by themselves, then with some gentle, quite, calming music (a river flowing with the occational light breeze) I was able to sleep for the majority of the ride up there (its about 2-3 hours!).
Hope your trip gets better Gerry!
Peace,
Pop Smith
