DVDDecrypter is gone
|
This is a terribly sad day indeed, I think it is a disgrace that a corporation can bully the little people like this, mind you it's not like this type of bullying is a new thing. :evil:
I'm surprised that the U.K has allowed this to happen I thought you had the right to make a legal backup of DVD's that you own although I know that is a grey area and it can be miss-used by some people. DVD Decrypter was a great tool and will be soarly missed. It's a pity there was no release of the source code so someone else in another country could work on it. :) R.I.P. Dear DVD Decrypter you will be sadly missed by so many of us. :( |

In France, the private copy is a right, as is the "personnal backup". We even pay a tax on virgin media for that. Consumers actions have been done in court against music editors and DVD editors (they both put system on their disc to prevent such copy) : the one for CD has been lost, the one for DVD won :!: |

I have to admire the French they will stick together and go to court to protect their rights, here in the U.K we just moan and groan in our homes and in the pubs and just do as we are told even, when we are being ripped off. :( I think paying a tax to companies like Virgin to secure your right to a backup is a good idea also. |

Hi guys,
I wanted to post something meaninfull but I can't. I just feel like I've been ripped off my rights. I don't know why but I get the feeling that this is the begining of "the end". Have you all gave a quick look at the http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net. I don't even use MPlayer/MEncoder anymore, but we see many work out there with libavcodec, ac3enc, etc... It all comes from the same place: FFmpeg. Can you imagine living without VLC or Media Player Classic or etc... Either judges open up their minds (and show us their filthy pockets :evil:) or we might as well sit back on the sofa and watch them dictate the end of our rights. God damn it: I really can't believe this is happening. Cheers mates |
IMHO thats a software patent issue?!
If these Softwarepatent issues will become true .... I think the whole softwaresector will feel a little revolution and of cource the customer. |

Damn :!: what a sucking news :(
Oh well, guess there will be a revolution on the net, and we'll have new decrypters VERY soon. Anyone remember what happened with the file sharing world when Napster was shut down :?: It was a new dawn for file sharing programs, and I believe the same will happen now (very shortly!) with new decryption programs ;) -kwag |

I have faith that someone in the community will come to the rescue soon as make a new revolution and start a dawn of a new era. :D |
It's a pitty LIGHTNING uk didn't publish his sources sometime ago.
Because if he does so now, he will only be asking them to kick him harder :(. :RIP: DVD Decrypter :sad: |
Quote:
It would have been great if he made it opensource some time ago. |
It's time for more forums and web sites to start showing up on I2P :idea:
I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of (short) time ;) http://www.i2p.net -kwag |
Now I'm beginning to understand the importance of open-source
development vs commercial. With many open-source developers in various countries, a few governments can not dictate what is legal and shut down any new ideas. I wish L-UK the best and encourage open-source development to keep ideas flowing. http://www.opensource.org/ -BP |
I think that our best alternative right now is CladDVD.NET ;)

Looks like i will have to backup my copy of dvd decrypter so i never never never lose it. Cause when you dont backup stuff, you lose important software like movie stacker :( . I regret reformatting my hd. no i have to do all my scripts the non lazy way. What a bummer that we are losing dvd decrypter too.

I have used cladDVD before but I always preffered DVD Decrypter as it had more features and was inho the best ripper about. CladDVD to me was a poor man's DVD Decrypter. :D
Btw what ever happened to SmartRipper? I used to use that way back when, when I used to back up my DVD's to DivX in the old days. :D I heard that they were going to completely re-write the code and improve it but we never saw an update, a shame as I did like that ripper when it first came out. Mind you with the demise of DVD Decrypter I guess clad will become king of rippers, at least until someone else makes another ripper. At least we still have that for now. :) |
Hi there,
I still had my doubts if these news about DVDDecrypter were official and if we should give them any credit. But now we have clear evidence: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...5&postcount=63. You all know I'm not a fan of Doom9 the character. I've never been and most probably I will never be. But I have to give the man credit when he does/says something right. It's only a fair move from him to say that if he had the sources he would release them :). On the other hand he clearly states that news we've seen on CDRFreaks are true :(. Oh man! This is very depressing... It resembles the times when we had to let go on Moviestaker :sad:. It's just not fair! I'll tell you: I never EVER liked Sony products. But from now on, even if I like a Sony product, I'm sure I won't buy it! Cheers mates |
May I remember to anyone that DVDShrink can be used as a ripper ?
Even if some app do not like it (DVD-RB for instance). Note: It's funny to see companies hunting free softwares and letting Nero Recode to be SOLD widely. |
Quote:
Doesn't Shrink require that you have DVD Decrypter installed? The reason I ask I remember when first installing Shrink it said you must configure DVD Decrypter to select all files before using Shrink. |
Quote:
It may be very good but now I remember why I don't use it: it needs .NET to run :?. I hate .NET/JAVA/etc...I hate it I hate it I hate it :). Just kidding. But to be honest I not a fan of .NET. Just why don't "they" code under good old c++ anymore? Cheers |

Years ago I was on a college course to repair TV/VCR's and our tutor even said way back then not to buy Sony VCR's as they give out plenty of problems, that has always stuck in my mind. Yes losing MS was another blow to this community also it was a fantastic piece of software. :( |

The latest version of DVDDecrypter took care of that issue. -kwag |
Quote:
And I'm not kidding :twisted: -kwag |
Quote:
Note: DVD4Free should also rip such discs. |
Quote:
Because those DVDs can't be ripped with any ripper, except DVDDecrypter :!: I tried a couple of the "Columbia" DVSs with CladDVD and other rippers, and the only one successful was the latest DVDDecrypter. -kwag |
I hate using .NET as well and im also disappointed that Clad uses this framework. :(
@Kwag & Phil Thanks for the info on Shrink btw. :) Decrypter was king though. :( |

Everything that is on the Internet is true, isn't it ? :D |
Quote:
I just tried DVD43, and it worked like charm :!: I just opened the files on a DVD, dragged a couple of VOBs to my hard drive, and then I played them with VLC :D -kwag |
So it is true after all :D :!: Everything they say on the internet is really true :D :lol:

I thought I'd copy here a couple of posts I made on this topic over on the DIKO forums. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how the legality issue works...

That's the basis of the trials launched in France : companies are been sued to put something on their disc that puts people in the necessity to break the law (to crack the code) in order to access to the rights granted to them by an other law (the "private copy"'s law) |
Quote:
Let me just say that this paragraph is extremely interesting and that people should fight for their rights. |

Tell me about it :!: At work, we're currently re-writing a huge .NET application in Python ;) We're trying to make the business a "Microsoft Free Environment" :mrgreen: -kwag |
Quote:
Amen to that, Python rules! :D I don't like the way MS has made it so you need to install a seperate framework to get your apps working I call that bad or lazy programming, that is why I preferred Delphi (before Python came out of course) you could make an app without the necessity to force users to install a seperate framework to get it going. I wish you guys luck in removing the unnecessary framework. :) [/OT] |

Did not have to test it yet but :
