DVD Decrypter fails to remove CSS protection

[QA]

I use DVD Decrypter 3.2.3.0 for ripping my DVDs. And Virtual CloneDrive for mounting the ripped ISO images.

Latetly I have a problem when I try to backup one of my CSS protected DVDs. I use DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD as an ISO img on my drive and then I use InstantCopy 8. However InstantCopy fails to process the mounted DVD image since it is CSS copyprotected. Does DVD Decrypter fail to actually remove the CSS protection? The image is successfully transcoded without any problems using CloneDVD2, which I believe also checks for CSS protection. I first started having this problem about a month ago.

My DVD Decrypter settings under CSS Tab are:
CSS Cracking Method: I/O Key Exchange -> Brute Force
Detect Mastering Errors, Force Decryption Key and Force VOB CSS Flag removal are all unchecked.
CSS Detection Search Size: 1,000 sectors
DeCSSPlus Key Occurences: 1
DeCSSPlus Pattern Repeat Length: 14

My settings are basically the default ones.

If anyone knows whats wrong or has any suggestions please share them with me.

Thank you

If CloneDVD works and InstantCopy doesn't, I'd say it's InstantCopys problem.

(Yes CloneDVD also checks for CSS and wont work if it's present)

I agree with you. However it is still weird how Instant Copy detects CSS copy-protected dvds even after being decrypted by DVD Decrypter. Maybe they added another check that can identify that the dvd was css copy protected, even though it was properly decrypted by DVD Decrypter. Later tonight I will report my situation under the appropriete section of these forums and see if some other user of InstantCopy 8 experienced the same thing.

Thanks alot.

I doubt it will be an additional check, more likely they're just not checking it properly and it's reporting CSS that doesnt even exist.

Bah it's a shame that the best "one-click backup" program, also has the most bugs.

Thanks alot for your help LIGHTNING UK!

Keep up the good work ;)
