Dvd Divx Not Divx Avi

[REECYCUP]

HAS ANYONE FOUND A WAY TO BACK UP DIVX DISC'S
I HAVE ABOUT 50 OF THEM?

ok ...

1 - ur topic for this post is unclear as to it's actual meaning and appears to have little to do with the content within regardless.

2 - printing in capitals is considered to be a form of yelling by many and is considered somewhat rude unless really necessary to put across a point. No need in ur case. :rolleyes:

3 - u provided so little infomation in your post that i cannot work out really what you are asking. Ten words for your question ... Surely you are not asking about how to burn divx cd's ( right ? - if u are, nero or any other cd app will do the job, divx files r burnt like ordinary data ), but i can't glean any other meaning from ur few words.

now, even if u are asking about how to burn divx's, which i am not sure even, it appears that u may be violating forum rules and guidelines ... so, if u haven't read the forum rules - read them. If u havent read the guides - read them and at least attempt to follow them through ... er, whatever u are trying to do, before asking such open-ended questions. That's pretty important, dude. If u genuinely make an effort and get stuck people here are usually more than willing to help ... but it needs to be obvious you have made at least some effort of your own accord.

now, i would like to welcome you to the forums. pls just read a little before ur next post and put a little thought into it. we aren't mind readers you know. :)

yes, digi he really didnt do anything wrong in the post (although it may seem that way if you don't know what DIVX is)

This has been covered countless times but here goes onces more:
DIVX was an evil system set up by circuit city that would make you pay every time you watched a DVD. Fortunately, this marketing ploy went nowhere. Its said that DivX ;-) took on that name as a sort of joke.

But.. I can't answer your question Reecy ^^; sorry, just thought I should step in to clear things up

REECYCUP : Thanks ed i didnt mean to stir up a flame first time out ...

i didn't think you were trying to start a flame at all ... and i offer an apology for my last post on this thread - it didn't help your problem. i still think that i had valid points though but i'm certainly not trying to be unfriendly or whatever to you. :)

Now that i get what ur trying to ask: i have no experience with that whatsoever, i'm sorry.

[REECYCUP]

no problems at all
just wanted you to know i appreciate
anyone trying to help
im sure ill have alot of questions later,and
someone can help
no apology needed you were trying to help and
im glad you tried to help thanks to you too.

Hi-

Well, when I read the first post, I didn't link it with CC's lousy idea either. Anyway, here's a cut and paste from Doom9's Glossary:

DIVX was basically DVD stripped of all its extra features - no extras, making-ofs, trailers, multi-language, widescreen picture - introduced by Circuit City and a bunch of greedy Hollywood lawyers in order to completely control movie distribution up to the end user again and to gain complete control over movie playback in your home. DIVX was pay-per-view and a "DIVX-enhanced" DVD player had to be hooked up to your phone line in order to dial in to the DIVX central computer to register when you play a disc and to bill your credit card. A movie was $4.50 - including a 48 hour viewing period - and $2.50 for additional viewing periods. DIVX was stopped after less than a year in operation due to lack of titles (Warner, Sony, New Line, and all the other smaller studios flatly refused to release any titles to the format - THANKS GUYS!!!) and the very negative press it got, mainly from DVD sites on the internet which later made it into serious printed publications and TV news.

As DIVX uses triple DES encryption it's pretty safe against cryptographic attacks and unless you can crack that encryption there's no way to rip these discs. In other words your DIVX discs will probably remain coasters forever.

So, I guess you're out of luck.

Eek, sorry man. Next time I go to cicuit city I'll make sure to inconspicuously knock something expensive-looking over for ya and then make a quick exit... ;)

[REECYCUP]

wow hate to say it but why didnt dvd get this kind of encryption?

[diji1]

i guess cos not enough people supported it ... thank gawd. mebbe cos ppl didn't have the inclination register before viewing - mebbe just because it's a rip-off. who knows ? betcha it aint goin to be the last time that the "pay-per-view" concept is played with tho ...

[DemonDog]

If DVD did support this kind of encryption, more people would work on cracking it so it still would not be an effective measure of protection. If there's a will, hackers will find a way.
