Recently to change over from Nero burn rotuines,
someone on afterdawn recommended using DVDecrypter with a
prog called Imgburn.
I installed Imgburn and it asked if I wanted to make that
the default at burn time and I say ok.
Well, nothing works now in the DVD Decrypter
Perhaps it is looking for Nero to kick in.
My Nero program still works ok, but Decrypter is hosed.
How do these things happen?
Operating system is Win98SE which, I've been told is no
problematic for everything but Nero.
Also please give the correct link to Decrypter guide.
There seems to be a variety of them at other sites than here.
I need to refresh myself on using the prog.
http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/articles/article_dvddecrypter_p... That's one of the more comprehensive guides on Decrypter. As for DVDD and ImgBurn, ImgBurn is the updated version of the burning software part of DVDD. LUK can no longer support DVDD because of the decryption software, but he's able to support the burning software ImgBurn. So nothing to worry about if Imgburn is burning instead of Decrypter, the newer Imgburn is just doing its job. Decrypter is still there for ripping tasks. As for 98SE, there's the matter of FAT32 and the NTFS in XP which are the file systems. XP is larger and better for working with the large video files. Some of the older apps like Shrink and Decrypter were written to work with 98, a bunch of the newer apps aren't. It may be time to start thinking about an OS update. If your system has the capacity to do movie backups properly, then it may be able to run XP.
Only OS update I've thought about is Linux where everything is
free including multimedia and burning tools.
But I was getting my schooling with the guide this afternoon--
got about a third of the way through because I don't read very
fast. Also electronic page flipping gives me a headache.
There was some interesting things in the guide like UAC or
whatever it's called where you can reauthor a piece to eliminate
those annoying parts where the commercial version locks out the
controls during previews.
It's a very good guide and I will leave props for cynthia at the
site.
Far as new Win operating systems go, there's supposed the
multimedia one called Synaptic or something. I figure that
will upgrade the file system but I have no clue as to\how much it
is or if it's an upgrade to XP or a downgrade from Longhorn.
I want nothing to do with M$ snoops and snitches built in to the
new Longhorn.
That's where open source software and OS are preferable.
However, Linux is just too much of a kludge for me to
make the transition. BTW I've already installed a variety
of Linux flavors. If the know how that built FireFox as an
open source browser were fully brought to bear on Linux
then it will be the new home solution. It won't be any
good at all as long as such simple things as fall back
drive channel recognition are not transparent to the user.
Linux has its limitations it seems and most of the software is written for the Microsoft OS. BTW Longhorn was the beta name for the upcoming OS; the new name appears to be Vista. I'll not get into paranoia factors and the like. Most of the software we're using today runs best on the XP OS unless it's a few years old. XP is backwards compatible with most of the software used on 98. Though a flawed work in progress, XP is better than what we had before. Much has been in getting used to it. I don't use it's built in security and opt for outside AV ware and utilities. I'll be keeping my XP system even if I decide to build another and install Vista. There's some new hardware limitations being built in and I'm wondering about the encryption to be used for High Definition media.
98 systems have hard drive limitations as well as the smaller file size of the FAT32. All in all, it's antiquated to the point I'd only retain it on an old P2 or P3 system that doesn't have the resources to run XP.

Take a look at DVD Decrypter. While decrypting it also allows the Prohibited User Options (PUOs) to be removed when doing a backup. Other software can do the same. So, what you saw isn't unique to Linux.
