i've read a lot on the net today that DVD Decrypter development is closed. someone please tell me it's not true. if it's really gone, is it possible to get a copy from anyone out there? any means in getting this software will be appreciated. thanks
Yep it's gone. Here's a link to download: http://www.filepedia.com/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm Here's a link to the thread from June: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/198072
Well WTH happened? Did the RIAA get to them or something? No more updates? Damn. First DVDShrink, now Decrypter. What's next?
Dont fret cause it still works great and u can still access both DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink at AfterDawn with no probs... Also DVD Shrink's Developer is now workin with nero. Doin the whole Nero Recode thing... So not all is lost...
hopefully, DVD Decrypter will also team up with some other good company. it's nice to know that the software can still be downloaded. still, stopping its development sucks big time.
@blueboy4 Definitely agree. There's another similar to decrypter this is still being updated - DVD Fab Decrypter. Here's a link to dl: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvdfab_decrypter.cfm
My only concern with these guys going to work with bigger companies, like Nero, are the restrictions that may be placed on them. Nero doesn't want to get on the RIAA's bad side so I doubt they'll give him free reign in software development.
@GAWright Well i understand what u mean... but people have to move on and make their own choices... If they want to go to work with big corparations i say thanxs and good luck... but remember here on aD there is a lot of source codes for a lot of the freeware and open source software that u alter if u know about programming and all that other end of computers... U are free to alter and then re post the updated modified version of the software...
someone please tell me what's stopping Lightning UK from making the software open sourced. That is unless it's already open sourced and i didn't know it. can anyone recommend a good audio ripper/decrypter too? I've seen a lot and am finding it hard to tell which is good.
Wouldn't it be possible to reverse engineer it? I do not know how to program, but I remember a Ben Afflek movie (I think Paycheck), where he was reverse engineering technology. I would assume you can do the same with software.
blueboy, do you want an audio ripper or a dvd audio ripper? jaguar, Yeah it was paycheck where in a couple of months he would put other companies out of business by reverse engineering software/hardware and then improving it.
@blueboy4 Macrovision is stopping Lightning UK. They were the ones that did the cease an desist. Here's a link to Lightning's announcement: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/6501.cfm
