Almost all movies are encrypted with CSS copy protection. (See 1.11). Decryption keys are stored in a normally inaccessible area of the disc. If you copy the contents of an encrypted DVD to a hard drive, the keys will not be copied. If you try to play the VOB files, the decoder will request the keys from the DVD-ROM drive and will fail. You may get the message "Cannot play copy protected files". DVD production has two basic phases: development and replication.

Added Gone With the Wind and Riverdance: Live in New York to "flipper" list. (1.21) Thanks Ed and Rick.

If you try to play a movie (DVD) copied to your hard drive, you may get an error message. Because all DVD movies are in encrypted format. In order to open a encrypted movie, we need a decryption key. This key is stored in inaccessible area of the DVD. It cant be copied to hard drive.

Yes and you'll have full menu support too. Just rip the DVD movie to your hard drive using DVD Decryptor, then ftp the ISO file to your f:\video or g:\video directory on your Xbox. Once copied over, just play it with XBMC. Or just use the dvd2xbox application on your Xbox and make sure you're ripping in ISO mode. "ISO mode" is for movies and "normal mode" is for games.

Unfortunately, this is not possible as this will be in violation of the copyright terms of the background music that we used for the slideshow. Please wait for the CD to become available instead. I clicked on the other menu links of the movie (eg, About Parent's Wish, View Feedback, etc) but it did not open up those links. Please tell me that this isn't a film to defend the 'right to die' movement and euthanasia.

Make sure you are using the right type of disc for your player. Some players will only read one of the formats (+ or -) but both, others won't read either. DVD-R is still the most compatible format, especially with older DVD players. Check with this link and see if you shouldn't use another format: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers Sometimes this problem is caused by media incompatibility issues.

The full path can be found on the bottom of the main screen of the program. If you used the default settings, the file is stored in [your selected- drive]/customshorts/customshortmaker/CSUser. For example, if you installed the program on you C: drive, and didnt change the defaults, they will be located at C:\\customshorts\\customshortmaker\\CSUser. You can open this directory by clicking "Show me my completed movies" on the main screen of the program.

Suppose you've copied over one or more RealSky (or DSS) CD to your hard drive, under a folder such as c:\realsky. When you fire up Guide and use Extras... DSS/RealSky Images... RealSky/DSS from CD, you'll see a "Drive:" edit box. Enter c:\realsky\ in this dialog (note that the trailing backslash matters!), and Guide will look for RealSky and DSS data in that path, instead of the (default) CD drive.

The full MAME set (and some update sets) include .chd files larger than 2GB in size. Such large files CANNOT be copied to a hard drive that uses FAT32 partitioning since FAT32 partitions cannot store individual files larger than 2gb. These files, however, can be copied to NTFS partitions, common to Windows 2000, XP and Vista systems.

Start the CD-Recorder 4 Basic version and then insert an audio CD into your assigned 'CD Reader' drive. NOTE: It is very important NOT to allow another CD player software program to attempt to "grab" the CD away from us. If another software 'autostarts' and begins playing the audio CD, make sure that you close that program before hitting the "Read Track" button in the process below. Select the hard drive and folder where you want to store the new tracks.

Click the "Select Source" button on the main window and then select "Open DVD File on hard disk drive" option. Select the "VIDEO_TS" folder that stores the DVD files. For example, if your "Temporary Path" is "C:\DVDCopy", then you should select "C:\DVDCopy\VIDEO_TS\". Click the OK button when you are done. Select the "VIDEO_TS" folder that stores the DVD files. For example, if your "Temporary Path" is "C:\DVDCopy", then you should select "C:\DVDCopy\VIDEO_TS\".

If you accept the default directory when you install Maynard products, all the files are copied to subdirectories off of the "MPS" directory. If you override the default directory, the files are copied to subdirectories off of the directory you specified during the installation. Also, if you do not already have an "ODBC.INI" file in your "Windows" directory, the installation will create one for you. Otherwise, the installation updates it for the "MPS 4.2" specification.

For each copy, Photo Safe creates a unique folder name indicating memory card type and copy sequence number for each card type to help you easily locate your files. The created folder and copied contents will be located within the default FILES folder on the Photo Safe hard drive. Locate the files you want to access by looking under the corresponding folder name.

Use the -dvd-device option to refer to the directory that contains the files: mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/directory If MPlayer is paused and I try to seek or press any key at all, MPlayer ceases to be paused. I would like to be able to seek in the paused movie. This is very tricky to implement without losing A/V synchronization. All attempts have failed so far, but patches are welcome. You can step forward one frame by pressing .

VLC Media Player is the most versatile player we've found for playing the wide variety of movies found in the Archive. And, it's free! We also recommend MPlayer. MPEG2 (DVD) freeware VLC, shareware player from http://www.elecard.com, or for-pay quicktime6 plugin: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/mpeg2playback/ ; MPEG2 (DVD) freeware VLC ( http://www.videolan.org/ ) the for-pay quicktime6 add-on (see http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/mpeg2playback/ ).
