How apps like DVD2ONE could include decryptor

[oddball]

I had an idea of how this and other such utils could include a decryptor without having the copyright people breathing down their necks. Make them have a plugin option with some easy to use developer tools. Then anyone could make a DVD decryption plugin and maybe even a burner tool as well so you could have an all in one util like DVDxCOPY but without all the hassles.

I know you can use a 3rd party util to rip a DVD to hard disk. I know you can use a thrird party util to burn the resultant image after going through DVD2ONE etc. But it would save time if it could do all of the steps in one app.

Hi !

This is 100% true, but it is old news.

There is a Plugin for flas -> dvd.mism that can decrypt from dvd.
The Authors of the transcoding soft only have to implement the ( simple ) plugin Interface of Flask ( which is there in Source & Documentation ) and all will be well ...

P.S. But the Authors don't care enough for Users wishes it seems ...

Sometimes the more simple, the better....I like DVD2ONE just as it is. It works great, and will continue to grow new features, but why load it up with stuff that will only complicate and perhaps frustrate people.

It is so extremely FAST, I don't mind doing the decrypt - transcode - burn thang manually....my 2 cents

:D WF

These programs dont let u rip the dvds that have copyright protection so they wont get in trouble with the Law. So when they send them to court they will say "This program only allows you to decrypt movies without dvdprotection. Movies with dvd protection wont rip" So they are in the clear!

@Zerolimit:

The point you dont get is:

The authors only need to offer the plugin interface, which is legal 100%.

Then everyone could load the dvd decrypting by himself, which is not made by the authors of the transcoding software.
THAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS ...

You like speed ??

Well if dvd2one needs 20 minutes to transcode & decrypting to HDD takes another 15 Minutes ( depending on your dvd Drive Quality it can be much more ) Just Imagine directly transcoding from dvd, it would take 20 minutes then for EVERYTHING to complete, and it would not be mad to even think of burning simulteanously, but that is something for the future ...
Right now it would be a piece of cake to double the process by combining decrypting & transcoding of dvd2one.

And that is what "speed" is about, isn't it ?

good idea

but I don't think I would take the chance of burning direct in case it failed to to read error

Are you referring to transcoding straight from the DVD? That would never be as fast as transcoding straight from the hard-drive... Maybe its time to upgrade your dvdrom, I think most people rip in about 10 minutes, 15 minutes being the max.

My 2 cents to the ripping speed issue. DVD Writers rip at around 2x and I only have DVD Writer (not a ROM) and it takes me 40 mins to rip a DVD. But when I had a DVD ROM drive (which I removed to put the DVD writer in) that only took about 10 mins. I am not saying EVERY DVD writer is as slow as 2x rip, but I know Pioneer and Sony are. A full DVD will take around 40 mins, with average being around 30 mins.

Keeping a dvd-rom in your PC is a crucial step to speeding up the entire process, even if you have to obtain a controller card to do it, its definitely worth it!
