Hi,

I read the whole process of overcoming new dvd protection:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260734
This was done with an older version of dvd decrypter: 3.1.0.0
I now have DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0, maybe the process is simplier with this newer version ? Or do we still have to go through all the steps listed on the above thread ?

Thanks a lot
Dave

Hi dodgydave
For the newer ones yes you will need something to help out Decrypter.
There is a newer program that will do it all for you - RipIt4Me. All free programs and uses DVD Shrink, Decrypter and FixVTS.

Here's a a step by step guide w/ links to download any programs you need.

Thanks for the tip binkie,

I went through all the process and I failed when trying to burn the image file with dvddecrypter OR ImgBurn.
Error: Failed to write sector 0-31 - Power Calibration Area Error

Have you come across this problem before ?

Power Calibration Area Error could be bad media. It seems your burner cannot write to the disc. Also your drive may need a firmware upgrade to handle the media.

As dialysis1 said could be bad media and/or needing a firmware update.

So what media are you using like Sony +R 16x.
Good ones to use are Verbatim or made in Japan Sony, Fuji or Maxell.

How about the make & model of the burner?

Burn speed?

You can check for a firmware updare in Decrypter or ImgBurn.. Go to tools>drive>check for firmware update. A pop will display the version you have and take you to the firmware page to see if there is a newer one.

Let's rule out media and firmware 1st.

Mmmm, I used those blank DVD before and I didn't have any problem with it on my burner.... I use Fujifilm DVD-R 8x. My current version of firmware is: 1.61 the make: Matshita UJ-832D.
I got it with my Sony Vaio VGN-TX3XP

Ah a laptop burner - they can be more problematic than their desktop counter parts.
I have a Matshita UJ 840D - not thrilled with it.

For a firmware update you'll need to see if Sony has one - they will be the ones supporting this drive. But don't be surprised if there is none.

Fuji can be good - the made in Japan are made by Taiyo Yuden - one of the best. The made in Taiwan are made by Fuji themselves or Prodisc - okay.

How about the burn speed? Try 4x yet?
