***** Note: this was discovered by xbadboy2 whom came to me to test this, so all credits are due to him *****
The rip free version CAN be rip enabled by changing the bouducon.dll for a rip enabled version of the same file. I recommend using the bouducon.dll file from XCopy platinum version 4.0.8.3 (bouducon.dll version 1.3.5.103) as it seems to be the last version that had the ripper before it was castrated.
After some serious testing (and a lot of Guinness!) I can safely say this will work on all RF versions to date, having tested to the best of my abilities.
Another bonus is NO Annoying DVD BACKUP screen with the RF version, which kind of makes my little proggie redundant now! lol
**** Edit ****
I have made a file patcher that adds the CSS rip functionality to the RF versions of XCopy so no copyrighted .dlls have to be hosted. Download to your XCopyRF folder and run the patch!
Download here: http://321rip.tripod.com/
*** Edit *** 11/06/04
I have re-written the patch to be more intelligent, as some seem not to be able to find the correct folder to execute the patch in. Well if the installation was performed in the dafault location then the patch will do the work for you. If it's not it will prompt you to locate it manually.
FAQ's
1: Will this patch work on the non Ripper Free (RF) version and remove the Oh so bloody annoying "DVD Backup" Screen??
Answer: NO! This patch is designed to Re-Enable the ripper in the RF version, which does not have the "DVD Backup" screen. Use 321Gone! for all non RF versions of XCopy Xpress, or (If you can) Upgrade to the RF and patch using 321RIP!
2: Does 321RIP! work on the Platinum and DVD Xtreme RF version??
Answer: Yes 321RIP works on ALL RF versions to date.
3: Can I remove the Ripper after patching??
Answer: Yes. a backup of the file is made before patching. Simply delete the bouducon.dll file and rename the bouducon.bak file to bouducon.dll (Although god knows why you'd want to do that!).
Regards,
Psi

This also works in the DVDXtreme Suite which has Xpress (without Ripper). Once you can 'fix' DVDXpress within that suite by copying and pasting the 'bouducon.dll v1.3.5.103' file into it, then the total cost of $99 makes (a little) more sense. Besides, this type of 'trick' makes for a lot of fun...Thanks again xbadboy and PsiDOC. Yip Yip...!

I said I would not post but if you put that file in any RF that dvdxcopy has come out with it will work. Everyone knows where the log file is and thats where you put it (bounducon.dll). Thats it. Now you have the product you paid for. Now only if I could get the other bugs out. When I got my dvdxcopy I told them I but my movies from block-buster will I be able to make back ups I didn't know what RF was and they said yes you will when I get it and can not make a back up and call them they say thats the RF you will only be able to make back ups of movies that don't have css well every movie that I have seen so far has has css and didn't know about afterdawn. Thanks Jeff
SP. I have learned my lesson and thank you ScubaPete

xbadboy...: just for the record: you should only make back-up copies of Blockbuster movies that you BOUGHT there, not RENTED ones. That's what you meant, right?

Yes I'm talking about the ones I own at block-buster they sell the used dvds for $10-$15 and thats what I told the man (DVDXCOPY)on the phone. So let me say it again I own the ones I'm talking about.

What about file version 1.2.1.83 that originally came from XPRESS 3.02. Do you think it will work in the nerwer RF version they have posted as an "upgrade"?

Thank you PsiDOC !
I am glad that I can restore some use to the $70 product (less rebate, whenever) that I needlessly bought. The best thing I can say about my XPRESS experience was that I was forced to be educated about Decryptor and Shrink! Although not "one click and walk away", these freeware products are more reliable, less aggravating, allow for more "customization", and I actually find them more fun to use!

Thanks again xbadboy2. I changed out the bouducon.dll file manually. The Search function under Start will locate any and all bouducon.dll files on the computer. Created a new folder in the RF program and saved the file I replaced just in case I wanted or needed to put things back. Program works great. I just checked the fix at tripod, 7:25 am eastern, and it came up. Guess that would be easier for those that don't know how to swap files the old fashion way.

First my apologies to PsiDoc for putting my queston in the wrong spot. Mea Culpa for not reading properly ... but at my age sight is the 4th thing to go! (lol) So here is the msg again for all to either assist or lambast.
PsiDoc: I "must be" out in the twilight zone because i cant get your program to work, so here i am asking for help. First, I am running DVD XCOPY Platinum version 4.0.3.8 (not the rf version) in the "simple" mode. I d/l'd your prog and placed it in c:\321studios\platinum file. Then I did as instructed (double click, etc) and found that the bouducon.dll now became .bak and a new bouducon.dll was in its place. When I attempted to burn a movie (thin red line), i still got the "DVD Backup" screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, while I also use DVDShrink and DVDDecryptor (both outstanding programs by the way) I occasionally have to use DVDXCopy but do not want the backup screen.
Any assistance ... even a "long walk off a short pier" would be accepted.
Thanks for your help. Jim1812

Newf.
321 doesn't give anything away that I am aware of. Never heard of any of their software being trialware.
Jim1812
I can help out on this one. The bouducon file has nothing to do with the annoying 'Backup' disclaimer. The fix just activates the 'Ripper' in the RF version of the software. The RF version of the software is the one without the 'Backup' disclaimer. So if you want to eliminate the Backup, you have to get the newer RF program loaded and then run the fix. What you did was access a ripper that was already accessed. In other words the fix was no good for your program as you already had a ripper.
Now back to them square pegs and round holes.

Pete, I took a look at the 321 Gone fix and it says for XCopy Xpress only and with the XP operating system (work in progress). Wouldn't it be easier to just get the upgrade RF version and run the fix on it. That way you never have to worry about fixes or running an extra program every time you burn a movie and the Backup screen would be gone. Both versions of Platinum can exist on the computer if he wants to keep the old one.
I replaced the bouducon.dll file in my RF version and I like it better than the older version. It's a full function item like the old one minus the annoyance of the question screen and the Backup disclaimer recorded to the movies. Also, the RF version has updated controls as compared to he pre-RF version. You probably already know this, so it might help the Newbies make a better informed decision. PsiDoc, ScubaPete, and XbadBoy2 rule on this thread.
Kudos to the King.

Again, thanks to 'all' who responded. it is appreciated.
ScubaPete: thanks for the info re 321Gone. I have the program but get the same results as with 321Rip. Perhaps I should do what BroBear suggests and get the RF version and run both at the same time.
Back to the question at hand (altho it may be a moot query if (when?) I get the RF program: still cant figger out what I am doing wrong with "either" 321Rip or 321Gone when burning a movie with the Platinum Express version. I "think" I follow insts pretty good ... hell with 30 yrs in the Navy of 'following instructions' I should know how to do it! lol ... but still get a 'this is a dvd backup' when i burn. Obviously I am doing something wrong. Any more suggestions? Thanks again guys.

lol jim1812
Once more. The 321 rip fix will do absolutely nothing with the older versions of Platinum DVDXCopy, your version 4.0.3.8 included. Now read closely. It will only fix the RF version. Now read this, the 321 gone fix is for XCopy Xpress only and limited to the XP operating system only. It states in the file accompanying the fix that it is a limited Beta still in the development stage. You have Platinum, so 321 gone is not for your program. It might work if you go through simple and run the XCopy Xpress option. But why would you want to do all that when the RF conversion with 321 rip will get everything working right on a permanent basis?
If you want a full function working version of Platinum(without the annoying Backup warning and question screen), all you have to do is download the RF version and run the 321 rip fix. That will make it a full function program with a ripper. Read closely again. The RF version does not, I say, does not have the Backup warning nor does it have the question screen that asks 'is this a borrowed or rented movie?'. Can't get much plainer than that.

jim1812,
You're stealing my thunder, the dry humor is supposed to be my forte'. Did I discern a veiled thank you in there somewhere? Happy burning and let us know what happens. I did a manual swap with the bouducon.dll files before the fix came out. xbadboy2 told me which file to swap, so credit goes to him on that one. So I know what the fix is actually doing or supposed to do.
