YOUR FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON A pc. INSTEAD OF CPOYING THE FILES DIRECTLY TO YOUR DESKTOP JUST DUPLICATE THE DISC IMAGE OF THE DVD WHICH WILL ALSO DUPLICATE THE FILES ONTO YOUR DESKTOP WITHOUT CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS. FROM THERE ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS RUN THE ENTIRE "DVD" THROUGH A DECRYPTION PROGRAM.

Dude you said I can copy the files to my desktop, which would be like copying (encrypted) files out of an encrypted ZIP file without the password. Now you're saying I can duplicate the disc-image, which presumably is like copying an encrypted ZIP file to a new location. I'm still not convinced, so I tried BlindWrite, and then CloneCD. That did not work either. I tried DiscDump... nup. In the end I was forced to use DVD Decrypter.... which shouldn't count since it is a decryption program, however I turned off CSS decryption and all other modification methods. So I duplicated the disc, and then decrypted the files... which worked.



However this is a long way short of what you originally claimed, which was that you could copy the files straight off the disc in their encrypted form onto your desktop. For a start, I HAD to use a program designed to cope with CSS in the first place to duplicate the disc. There was no way to do without 3rd party software - that is to say WindowsXP itself did not have the native ability to copy the files, which is what you originally implied.

Oh, and just one last thing. He complained that one of the VOBs skipped. This means he was watching unencrypted data, even though you claimed the problem was CSS. If the problem was CSS then he would have seen something like:



Skipping or not, he would have known something was up!

THAT WHY pc's ARE CRAP. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM DOING IT THE WAY THAT I EXPLAINED EARLIER. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO ONLY USES A pc, AND HE DOES IT THE SAME WAY THAT I DO. MAYBE YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT A "DVD EXPERT," SO DON'T POST IN HERE.

Dude, get over it. I proved you wrong, you never proved me wrong.
