I am not real computer smart but I do know that 321 Studios went under. Now I can not make backups of the movies I just bought. I like making a backup due to my two dogs.On that note I tried to use a crack for one version I have. It works up until the point of when I put my dvd in and then it tells me that the disk is write protected. Then just shuts off. How can I get around this? Is there another software that will do the same thing as the old dvd x copy and copy dvd for dvd? Thanks for you time and help. PJ
Try using programs like Anydvd and Clone dvd2 at http://www.slysoft.com/en/ these work about 95 percent of the time. However you only get a 30 day trial. Two free programs are Skrink and Dvd decryptor.
@MinGry03, if you want to stay in the free realm, then I would suggest downloading shrink from AD. It's free and when using the advance analysis and deep encoding the quality is guite good. I used that for a while, along with Dvd Decrypter. Over the year I have made an investment into a variety of programs that I use: 1. Dvd Rebuilder Pro/CCE Basic or HC by HAnks 2. Recode 2 from Neo (the same author of shrink) 3. clonedvd 2 4. Intervideo Copy 3 5. AnyDvd running in the background. There is a program that is free called Dvd43 that runs in the background, but IO had problems with it. I also have Dvd Decrypter and Dvd Fab Decrypter. Which I use to decrypt the movie and place the video files on HD to be used by Rebuilder, or I will use Dvd Remake Pro or Recode and pull off excess credits to lessen teh compression prior to Rebuilder. There is a lot of programs out there that do good work, just download trial versions and see what works with you. MovieDud p.s. Check out Shrink, follow the guide at AD, and
