I just retested the movies Forgotten & Resident Evil Apocalypse using Platinum V 5.0.0.11, with the gearsec driver showing in my task manager. Like all the other times I tried, The Forgotten froze at 16% and Resident Evil froze at 3%.
Only way to get Platinum V 5 to copy those movies is to have AnyDVD running in the background, copies them just fine then. Will not copy them by themselves.

Does Any DVD show in task manager cause I definitely don't have anything that is not windows or vid card loaded besides the gearsec drivers. Now I had forgotten I have forgotten backed up too. Just went and looked.
I will let you know about "Man in the House" after I finish it =)
I honestly and truely don't know why it is working for me. Maybe just sheer dumb blond luck. When a movie won't backup for me, it is usually because the original was scratched before I started.
Just so you can laugh at me "Man in the house" is scratched all to heck. Last time I loan out a DVD before it is backed up. Anyway I will let ya know if I can't copy it after I get the scratches out.
PS Also Remember I shut down darn near everything in windows. I am using Win XP Pro sp 2 for OS btw. However I have not downloaded that verification program or the malicious software program. They annoy me on my other box so haven't bothered on this box.

The gearsec.exe has nothing to do with encryption it is part of the CD/DVD burning engine of the program. ITunes will install this on your system for their burning. If gearsec was the only thing you needed then I should be able to load it up and get any program to work.

My last word on the subject.
I am not mad at you as I do not believe you. As to the way you said how you did those movies. Hutch has the "Sony ARccOS protection" I believe your using a ripper like DVD43 or any dvd.in the back ground.
There is no way you copied movies Forgotten & Resident Evil Apocalypse using Platinum V 5.0.0.11 with out one of those rippers in the back ground..
A Fact No-1-your using a old version that could not do the sony protection (v5.0.0.11) and a new version was put out (v5.0.0.13) to try to do the new sony protections.
Which it also felled to be able to copy the new "Sony ARccOS protection" and Settec ALPHA-DVD protection as tested by 10 beta testers. With the old or new version. There is one possible way you might have been able to copy those movie is using a ripper called any dvd or DVD43 in the back ground.
Fact No-2-as arniebear posted The gearsec.exe has nothing to do with encryption
Or with platinum they are the drivers only for DVD copy 1.52..and a couple other use gearsec.
.
The drivers for platinum are listed in device mgr under vso.
Fact No-3-As for K-Hypermedia media they are worse then Memorex and Memorex is near the bottom of the food chain as they are only good for data.
Maybe, we all tested K-Hypermedia out of 10 disks tested 7 could not be recognized by a multi of burners.and the failure rate was very high for K-Hypermedia.
Posted to me by a newbie GibsonSG a non beta tester, testing v5.0.0.13
Here are some results of test I ran yesterday,
Forgotten: No title came up ie Reading DVD_____
Error occured reading
Sectors data: 1/0
UnableReadDVD
House of Flying Daggers:
Error occured reading: sectors 12/0
UnReadableDVD
The Machinist: copied all chapters, although took an unusually long time. Briefly scanned on player and did'nt see any ovious problems.
Let me know if this helps or I can do anything else.
I have version 5.0.0.13 , If you figure out a patch or fix, let me know
BTW, I tried it on my Pocket DVD Wizard program with same results.
Thanks

LOL okie but I don't lie. If any other program is running in the background it was uninitiated by me.
"Man of the house" is being stubborn. Not sure if it is the scratches or the encryprtion.
I have Never had a K-hypermedia disk fail to record. My TV DVD player recognizes them just fine. ALL my backups are on K-Hypermedia. Now whether other burners or players will recognize them .. well my PS2 does and so does the cheap dvd player my friend bought. So does the cheap dvd player we bought my inlaws. They work for me I am happy with them no biggy.
LOL Like I would have a reason to lie about any of this =P
I am sorry if I have given any offense to anyone, I truely am. I simply said it was working for me for Hitch, Forgotten, & The Grudge.
I didn't even KNOW there was a new copy protection out, till I read it in the newsletter or this forum forget which.
ROFL maybe Cheap burners / players just like cheap media =D.
Then again it may be just sheer dumb luck on my part.
BTW if you are wondering I am one of those people who can find a bug the first time I run a program from sheer dumb luck. I have a friend in Canada who uses me as his beta tester. LOL the first and only time the hubby asked me to give him a number to try in a program he was writing for school. Well I gave him the ONLY number that didn't work right off the top of my head. Sheer blind dumb luck, on the flip side of that I can do terrible things to my computer, that no one can figure out how I managed them. LOL things that are supposed to be impossible to do =)
Here is an example. My first XT with the $250.00 10 gig hd in it =P I managed to remove DOS by repeatedly trying to delete the . & .. (yeah I know stupid). LOL took it in to computer store to get it fixed and they had no clue how I could do that without formating it (which at the time I didn't know how to do).
Now your telling me the program won't back up those movies for you. I believe you. I guess I could make new backups of them and send them to you, I am sure you could figure out what program I used. Seems like an awful lot of trouble specially if your player won't recognize K-Hypermedia =)
I really don't like being called a liar. If you want to take it to emails mine is sylvermyst@the-unicorns-touch.com

Well I couldn't get DvdXCopy to work =P disk was scratched pretty badly. Polished it out as best I coul dand then reverted back to DVD Decrypter to decode the Sony Movie "Man of the House". It is currently shrinking in DVD Shrink. I checked the VOB's to see if they played without pixelating. Tried DVD Fab first and gave me all kinds of a mess but is probably an old copy.
However that said DVD Decrypter hasn't been updated since new copy protection came out has it? It worked for me probably sheer dumb luck again.

DVD Decrypter was updated after the new protection came out, but it will not be updated anymore.
What region are the movies you are copying, Hitch, Forgotten.... And what region is your DVD burner set to?

Hi selena,
The title of this thread caught me and as I was reading I noticed you posted your email. Please read the forum rules http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487 as it is against the rules to post your email address directly in the public forum area.
@ ireland & baldbear,
I recently purchased dvdxcopy v5 but have not installed it yet. I was wondering if the program cannot actually bypass the sony protection if I rip the movie to my hard drive using DVD Decrypter will the backup I make using xcopy v5 burn without the protection? I have been reading through the xcopy forums but I don't think that issue was addressed.

I also recently purchased DVD X Copy version 5 - version 5.0.0.11 and had problems copying movies.
I was then given the next supposed new build of the product 5.0.0.13, and I have to agree with Ireland and Baldbear that both 5.0.0.11 and 5.0.0.13 are not at all successful in copying Sony movies.
I have also had problems with my Indian movies that I own on DVD that haven't copied using these two versions of Version 5.
I haven't tried to use this version of X Copy 5 with AnyDVD as yet, as I also own that, yet I'm wondering if it will be worth the hassle of going to do those movies again as I eventually managed to copy those using dvdxcopy Platinum 40415rf and AnyDVD.
Just my thoughts - shall I wait and see what happens with Version 5, or shall I just return it for a refund?
Ireland and Baldbear - would you like to share your opinions?
Thanks

@Happy37,
Once I read that it does not do the sony protected movies I simply am inquiring if I can use AnyDVD as i use it with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. I can't get on the dvd xcopy forum @ work as they websense (block) it and they have a forum specifically for xcopy and I do not wish to offend any mods/ admins by not posting in the xcopy forum (title is seen as file-sharing and blocked @ work). I never had the ripper free version just the 3 previous versions before the lawsuits went into effect.

Try it with the AnyDVD, I just reformatted my comp and put the old 321 back in and tried it out again with AnyDVD and it worked. I was not doing an ARccOS movie, but it worked with the original I had in. It will either do it or it won't :)

arniebear,
Thanks but I no longer have the old one as I deleted it when I found that I could not re-activate it. I have the v5 but didn't install yet cause i am searching to see what software it conflicts with (if any after the updates). I'm just curious as from my previous post I have alot to do and not enough time to use other methods. Will install tonight to get the updates to see if I can get it to work with v5.

I would give it a try, I got to admit it is a fast program. I tried out the 30 day trial version of DVDFab Express and found the programs to be so similar, and that program does ARccOS. It was very fast also. Have a good one :)

Platinum RF 4.0.4.15 and AnyDVD will do everything Platinum V5/AnyDVD will do except the dual layer burn.
Will Platinum V5 ever do what it claims to do...that is unknown. Is it worth the price, I will let you decide that from all the previous posts.

I apoligize for posting my email addy. My bad for not reading the FAQ.
I am region 1 and disks are usually region 1.
I have done Resident evil too ... Now all this said no one answered MY Question!!
Does AnyDVD show in the task manager as a running program when you hit crtl+alt+del If it does then I am NOT running it in the background. If it doesn't then maybe I am and don't know it. When I upgraded I was directed to download the program then directed to download another program. However My friend doesn't have the second program and has no problems. Both of us are region 1 and burners set to region 1.
I found out the hard way via my friend that set top players have a freak out if some are region free and some are not. They quit playing one type or the other. Again Cheap players not good ones.
I again apoligize for posting my email, my reason was it looked like it was going to get nasty. I thought emails would be better instead of inflicting that on others.
Again my apologies.

AnyDVD does not show in your Task Mgr as a running Application, it will show up in your running Processes.

Look in the lower right of your computer, tool bar. If you see a little red fox head you have AnyDVD on you computer. If you see a yellow smiley face you have DVD43.

Nope not there. I usually wipe stuff I don't know what it is for out with Regcleaner. I go through pretty often and clean up my computer.
Now There is one thing I do that I am not sure most people do. I also defrag after every backup Needed or not. I make sure Temp files are deleted and I keep my drive nice and sparkling clean.
Maybe I have just gotten lucky with the disks I have backed up, and this was the first that had a problem. I don't know. I again have sheer blind dumb luck sometimes.
I am not running AnyDVD, nothing in systray save the inet connection, RamDefender, sound and ATI MMC icon.
I have exactly 26 processes running under Task manager. I have 5 ATI drivers(don't ask =P), alg, crss, gearsec, lsass, explorer, RamDef, services, SMAgent, smss, spoolsvr, 7 svchost, system, system idle process, taskmgr, winlogon.
That is the total I have running, I can check modules if you want I do have Adaware. Something may show up in there. Again I haven't lied, why on earth would I? I mean, what would the point of it be? I don't know any of you well enough to want to peeve you off. I simply said it had been working for me. Has always worked for me. Would probably have worked on the last disk if it hadn't been scratched to there and back. DVD X Copy can be Really picky about a scratched disk. It is A LOT more picky, than DVD Decryptor about scratches.
Regcleaner doesn't show AnyDVD either btw. Again I obliterate anything that I don't know what it goes to. I don't want spyware or adware on my backup computer.
I do know that Nero InCD and Roxio drag to disk Screw with DVD X Copy in general. I was having a lot of problems till I realized the InCD was the cause. Just knocking it out in task manager didn't work. I had to completely uninstall it. With Roxio Drag to disk I can keep it from loading with regcleaner. InCD starts up from somewhere else that regcleaner couldn't find.
BTW while I am pretty new to the DVD backup thing, my first burner was a panasonic. It was when they were still going for close to $300.00usd. I have been doing this for only a couple of years I guess. Would have to look back at old TigerDirect reciepts to know.
I am not a software guru, but I can and so build my own systems. I have NEVER bought a system off the shelf. I have looked at them and always find something that is subpar. My husband and my friend in canada, can't believe I do some of the things I do to my poor lil computer. They wouldn't dream of going into the administrative functions and turning things on and off =D. Not sure why ... worst thing that happens is ya have to reinstall windows or you go into safe mode and turn it back on. So please don't think me completely clueless with computers.

I am using DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink as back up programs.
Also testing this program, as the up date just came out.DVDFab Decrypter v2.9.4.0
Its at the AFTERDAWN WEB SITE here.
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvdf...
DVD copy 40415 rf with AnyDVD will copy all sony protected dvd movies.
If you have platinum v4038 installed, platinum v40415rf will activate
off of v4038.
If any one that has v4038 and want v40415rf contact me or baldbear.
here in this thread
http://dvdxcopy.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/148746
The same with clonedvd2 with AnyDVD will copy (all sony movies.)
Clonedvd2 is the primary back up program I use since it came out.
I have copied all movies with that program?that ever came out.
The cost is around for both programs clonedvd2 and AnyDVD is around
$66 dollars.there is a 21 day free trial.can be download here
http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html
As for Platinum V 5.0.0.11 and Platinum V 5.0.0.13 they will not copy sony movies.
Some time it will copy sony movies with AnyDVD in the back ground.
I and baldbear have been beta testing platinum Platinum V 5.0 since it came out.
We will let you know when it can copy the "Sony ARccOS protection" and ?Settec ALPHA-DVD protection"
$85 dollars is way to much to pay for a program that does not work.

everything you posted will not help to get Platinum V5 to work. If it did work I think there would be more than just one person posting it will copy the sony protection. Platinum V 5 will not do what it claims to do, we have been testing this software ever since it came out and dumb luck, 4 leaf cloves, rabbits feet will not get it to copy sony. And if you were to ever go to the forums at DVDxcopy International (they are closed at this time) not one person over there ever got Platinum V5 to work also, all the posts about v5 were complaints.

Thanks for all the info, and I agree 85.00 is too expensive for this program. I have the old 321 and thought about upgrading when I developed problem with protection but opted out for the free programs Decrypter and Shrink and pay AnyDVD and CloneDVD which is cheaper an updated more regularly. If Xcopy would come down on their price I would probably upgrade, it was a good program and worked well for me for sometime. Let us know if this program is ever able to do the newer protections I may give the upgrade a try. Again, thanks.

LOL then I have just been obviously lucky in the disks I have gotten. Maybe the encryption wasn't on most of them. If they are putting it on ALL their DVD's, then I have no clue why my back ups worked.
I heard you the first time that you were a beta tester btw =) and it doesn't work for you.
I still have the backups, and have watched them, and used DVDXCOPY Plat International Express to make most, if not all of them.
Both my friend and I have sheer blind dumb luck on somethings. Maybe this is just one of them. I don't know, just please don't call me stupid or a liar.
I also get it that it doesn't work for a lot of people, heck it may not work for most people. All I have ever said was it works for me and my friend. Don't get so worked up it will raise your blood presure =). Sorry if it goes against what you are able to believe or accept. No Worries I am just waiting to get the upgrade still, to v5.0.0.13.

@ selena,
No worries as most overllok the forum rules initially. I believe a courteous reminder goes alot farther and also keeps the mood in high spirits. Stick around there is a wealth of knowledgeable folks here and the best part its free :)
@ ireland,
Thanks for an inside scoop. My burn methods are similar to yours except I use dvdrb w/ CCE for the occasional movie I want to back up with little or no flaws.
@ arniebear,
Thanks will try that along with some other insightful info put out by baldbear & ireland
