What does this mean in DVD Decrypter

[gedclink]

:D Hello (again )!

Have several region 1 discs and am trying to back them up and make them region free in order to play them around the house on several different dvd players.- only one of my players is multi region..

My DVD-ROM / burner is an oem version of the sony500a..I believe there is still no flash upgrade to make it region free..Hence when I boot up DVD decrypter it says there is a region mismatch on the drive and indicates it will use the slower Brute Force method instead of the I/O exchange method...No probs so far..

However on most ( but not all ) of the region 1 discs...partway through the decrypting phase i get the following...

Cracking CSS...Then at about 6% on most of the movies...

Brute Force Cracking Failed..There were no vulnerable blocks..

What does this mean? Any ways of getting around it?

Thanks again for any help.

Regards

At the above site, you may be able to find some help. Have you thoroughly checked out the Decrypting forum and searched over there on this?

I assume that u haven't a second dvd-rom to rip the contents from.

as ammck55 suggested, decrypting forum is a better place for this thread.

I am moving it over there. U ll get help faster

No..I currently don't have a second drive although may consider buying one and flashing it..

Have you tried extending the number of search sectors (or something like that from 1000 to, maybe, 3000) and # of key occurrences and that kind of stuff in the preferences of DVD decrypter?
