So, is there a all-in-one solution for ARccOS?

[tomq]

Hi fellas,

I've been reading about ARccOS and so far i found only long guides of how to go around ARccOS encryption, is there a proven working all-in-one program that can backup dvd's with ARccOS encryption yet?

[setarip_old]

Hi!

If you mean a single program that can rip, compress, and burn "ARccOS" copy protected DVDs (and all others), the only one I'm personally familiar with is a commercial program - DVD95Copy...

There's a fairly new program floating around named "Shrinkto5" that, when used in conjunction with something called "machinist2.dll" is supposedly fairly successful, but I have no personal knowledge of its ripping capability or the quality of its output...

[tomq]

yea,

i'm looking for a replacement for DVD-decrypter pretty much

have you backed up any ARccOS DVDs with DVD95copy and everything was fine?

[setarip_old]

Yes, I have successfully backed up many ARccOS copy protected DVDs using DVD95Copy...

[tomq]

ok, thanks for your input...

I paid once for DVD2One, but it's useless to me now.

I use Dual-Layer DVDs and don't care about splitting or shrinking movies; as long as i can decrypt to the drive and then burn it i'm cool.

[setarip_old]

ok, thanks for your input...As always, my pleasure ;>}

(Verbose)I use Dual-Layer DVDsHave you been successful using anything other than Verbatim DL DVD+Rs?

I ask this because in many postings at these and other forums, it's been indicated that presently Verbatim DL DVD+Rs are the only consistently successful DL burnable media...

I burned 23 out of 25 cake box(two bad medias) of Ritek Ridata Double Layer DVD+R DL. Played all of them on my Denon dvd player just fine.

DVDFabdecrypter?

[kis2005]

You can still use DVD Decrypter if you use it conjunction with PGCedit's PSL2 Plugin. Refer to Fun With Dick and Jane Thread.

DVDFabdecrypter is The all in one freeware of the year!
Always updated it provides very good compliant copy of your DVD! Try it!

[blutach]

I am not so sure of the compliance freelock7. Nor am I overly happy with the fact that you can not deselect removing PUOps and reading through (real) bad sectors. These are major flaws currently in DVD Fab, IMHO.

I'm five for seven with the same media so far. I only burn some DVD's on the DL-DVD's so it will take me a while to get through the entire cake box of 25. Hopefully I've had my two bad ones and the rest will be good.

I'm just going to throw my comments into this one...AnyDVD is what I use and recommend. Basically you load it and forget it. It's extremely well supported. It is NOT, however, free. The combination of CloneDVD and AnyDVD have been truly awesome and always work for me. I highly recommend them. If you're into dual layer burning and don't want to mess with the layer break(iow, if you want a 1:1 copy), then CloneCD with AnyDVD is the way to go. I own all 3 products and absolutely have no regrets in the purchase. Anyway, that's my $0.02 worth of advice. :)

not to stir the pot, but i think DVD95Copy 1:1 version will be the best solution for me, so i don't have to use CloneCD with AnyDVD, etc...

@freelock7

Hi!DVDFabdecrypter is The all in one freeware of the year!DVDFab Decrypter is not an "all in one" program - it is only a ripper.

It doesn't perform compression or burning...

[SamuriHL]

That's completely kuel. I just wanted to offer yet another solution. Whatever tool does the job is ultimately what you should use. The fact that we have so many choices is a great thing.

DVD Fab rips aren't usually compatable with Auto GK. The disc has to be ripped in IFO mode to be processed and there is usually a out-of-synch issue...meaning that even though DVD Fab will rip the titles, it doesn't do a clean job of it.

Dvd95copy IS the best all in one available in my opinion. and does handle arccos quite well,including the latest sony title 'fun with dick and jane'.

but if you have already paid for dvd2one,also a good program,I suggest learninng to use the pgcedit plugin wizard. this will allow you to rip the files so that they are compatable with dvd2one,or any other program.

My experience with the PGCEdit tools is not perfect since I encountered a problem in Nero (realocation files failed) just before to burn and with Bewitched R2 :the step 3 was not able to go through (freezing).
So, DVDFabD is really effective coupled with DVDShrink (OK Setarip_old, I forgot to mention it to be "all-in-one") and its advantage.

i bought dvd95copy 1:1 - that's all what i will need, coz i use dual layer dvds anyway.

i didnt test it yet with any dvds, but so far i don't like the idea that it does not accept dvds as a source from hard drive/dvd files on hdd.

If you have additional needs besides simple 1:1 copying, you should have purchased the all-inclusive DVD95Copy Pro...

yes, i agree. It's just i had a few movies backed up on the harddrive... but it's only a few... all others are on DVD media..

[jwo62]

Digi does offer an upgrade price.

anyway,you should be able to create a disc image and use daemon tools to read it.:)

isnt DVDD all that is needed for 1:1 backups?
havnt done any yet myself,Im to cheap to buy the media.

yes, DVDD used to be able to do 1:1 backups, but because most recent encryptions, such as the one in the subj, DVDD became useless to a point.

Not entirely. If used with something like AnyDVD then DVDD will work just fine for this. And it'll keep the original layer break information which is nothing to sneeze at.

hehe, right, but AnyDVD is 40 bucks and it does very little, then you have to buy more tools or use free tools such as DVDD.

i paid 20 bucks for DVD95Copy and it does everything all in one...

Well, I disagree that AnyDVD does very little, but, that's an opinion. I wouldn't be without it myself.

I understand where you're coming from. That's a good price for DVD95Copy. I've never used it so I can't comment on that software at all. I know Setarip highly recommends it so I'm guessing the quality must be good and the support decent. That's all you can really ask for in a backup solution.

I own CloneDVD, CloneCD, and AnyDVD and have found them to be excellent with great support from Slysoft. But, as you pointed out, that's not a cheap solution by any means. So far they've yet to let me down.

I think no one solution is going to meet the needs of everyone. As I said before, that's why it's great that we have so many options, from freeware to commercial software. Let's just hope the trend continues when (or if in some cases) we move to HD-DVD and BluRay. :)

I use anydvd and clonedvd to rip the movie to my harddrive (clonedvd gets the main movie, removes the rest of the stuff that I don't need), then I use this output to feed AutoGK, seems to work great.
