DVDWHASHER (macaroni version)
software combination vs new protection (from chandra in shrink forum!)
regarding the new protection system found on some sony columbia movies.
Tested the following
DVD decripter (last version)
http://www.dvddecrypter.com
DVDwasher (download)
http://www.tuttolatino.com/programmi/dvdwasher.zip 169Kb only
DVDshrink (last version)
http://www.dvdshrink.org/where.html
use all 3 in the order I indicated.
No changes performed to the *default settings.
(* optional for use dvdshrink, you can backup with no compression)
decript to remove rce prot (dvddecrypter)
dvdwasher on files decripted on HD to remove the new prot
(that was worst than the one on the passion or gothica.
shrink to finally *compress or don't compress the movie. (* optional)
Consider that without the washer, shrink was not able to "see" the movie;
it only showned chapters from 5 and over (the add-on)

using DVDWASHER:
It is in italian so mark the two boxes on the left.
In " videotsifo originale " put the directory where you decripted the movie
in " cartella di destinazione " write the folder on your disk
where you wish to have the movie to be shrinked
push " pulisci dvd " to start operation
push " ferma "if you want to stop before cleaning is completed.
backup copy works fine.
thanks chandra
