Hi Gang: I spoke to an employee of a Movie rental store and they claim that they have a Burner that Burns and Decrypts rental movies with no problem? They said it costs $149.00 at Walmart. The unit hookup has a VCR tying into the back along with A "Regular" DVD and a TV. They said that a "Computer Whiz" took out a blocking "Chip" that enables them to burn any movie???? I, personally cannot fathom this being true. They even drew me a diagram. Any Comments?

Yeah I have a comment. What does this have to do with DVD Shrink?
And they are on crack.
The copy protection is on the DVD not the player.

I agree...don't think it is possible. The copy protections is on the commercial DVD and needs to be bypassed via a decrypter such as the usual suspects.

Sounds like a hacked dvd recorder. Something similar is done for VHS tapes that have copy protection to a dvd recorder.
If that's what they're talking about I'd pass since it would record it real time.
Just my 2 cents but where there is a will their is a way.
ronnies I'd stick with you usually method using Shrink and DVDFab (I think it is) - much faster and probably less problems.

Yes "Bink7" I will stay with my accepted way of backups. I downloaded the latest DVDFab Decrypter and found it no improvement of the prior version... I have been wanting to backup a movie that is 180 minutes long. Is there a way to do this?
I thank all the contributers to my thread, I found them amusing and enlightning. Thanks again Ronnies

What problems are you having w/ DVDFab Decrypter? There's is also a beta version out now too you may want to give a go.
One fix in the beta is Fix: A corrupt data problem when copying DVDs, which will cause DVD Shrink error, or playback jerky
Which movie are you trying to do? 180 mins will probably have high compression so if you don't want that you could split the disc or use a dual layer disc (need a dual layer burner - most newer ones are)

I've never heard of such DVD burner(DVD-RW drive) that will rip/decrypt through ARccOS or RipGuard without any decrypting (ripper) tools (i.e. DVDFAB Decrypter, RipIt4Me, DVDIdle Pro, DVDFAB Platinum, AnyDVD, DVD Region+CSS Free, etc.)

I don't know about the diagram but I think I found the DVD Player with the copy protection chip that they removed.
It even comes with the warning below...

Binky 7: I have the "DVD Fab Decrypter 3.0. It's the latest one that I found to download. This version just doesn't allow a complete encode. I ( 75%of the time ) get an error messsage "Encountered an error with DVD Shrink....". Perhaps it just can't handle some of the newer encryptions? I'm truly fortunate with what I do get. The 180 min movie is a movie with Don Sutherland & Mira Sorvino about forced prostitution in California, I gave up on it and returned the movie - don't have the title handy right now. The drawing that the Store person made was a penciled depiction with not much detail. I will see if they will give me a bonifide printout.
Thanks for all of the feed back. Binky 7, I'm going to try and make two "5" type discs out of one "9" type as you recomended a while back. I'm just not really sure of the sequence procedures - don't want to louse anything up - at least now it's still does well on normal "below 120 minute" discs. Still would like to conquer that two out of one format. Ronnies

Here's a guide for an older version of Shrink - how to split a DVD-9.
http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/48/59/
I've only done a few - like Casino and re release of Goodfellas Not a fan of having to pop in a 2nd disc :)
The latest of DVDFab is 3.0.3.5. The beta is 3.0.3.6. It can still handle the latest copy protections.
Some user w/ v3's have had problems ripping the dvd - thru the version history you can see Fengtao has been working this out.
