DVDXCopy RF to RI (Ripper Included)

Why people keep asking the question" where can I get the RF version"? If you are a legal owner of the platinum, you can call Studios 321 and activate you account, so that you can download the RF version from their server, or if they still have some CD left, you can get it for $8.

 

Ok About 6 months ago I got dvdXcopy Platinum verison 3.2.1. When 4.0.4.15 RF came out I ordered the CD for $8 and was told by 321 Studios to use my ID and password that come with verison 3.2.1. I just put in a new hard drive so I had to use my password for 4.0.4.15 still works with the ID and password from verison 3.2.1. Have you people even tryed to use your old password and ID??? Once again I was never given a new password. 321 Studios told me to use my old password that came with verison 3.2.1 and it has worked every time I have had to register it 4 times with just 4.0.4.15.

 

I see what your talking about. I never had that problem because I orderd the $8 CD. Take it easy.

Yes they did reset my activations to 10? All you have to do is call them and ask I have never had any problems with 321 studios. All the time they keep you on hold/hpone I will just spend the $8 for the CD.

Tried it manually but when attempting to burn it went straight to Fianalizing Disc. It appeared like burner was burning. Did this for about 40 minutes before ejecting. Disc did not work in DVD player and appears to be blank.

I then ran the patch and then reran copy process. This time it did burn correctly. Don't know what went wrong, possibly the version of the .dll was not compatible with the RF version.

 

Pany,
Strange that it would work that way. Glad you got things going though. PsiDoc made the patch smart, so it goes where it should. He took all the work out of switching the files.

Don't know which version of the program you had or version of bouducon.dll. I used the 1.3.5.103 version of the bouducon.dll file to replace the one in RF. I believe it was from XCopy version 4.0.3.8. I believe that is the same bouducon.dll file that is being used in the patch. Unless they slipped one in on me, that was the last version before the advent of RF. If not, then close to it.

 

Hey flip
We were just discussing the patch and it placing the file instead of doing it manually. I don't know if an older file would cause the problems described by pany or if the file was damaged. The patch replaces a file which can be done manually if one has both the pre RF and RF programs (don't know about pre 4.0.3.8 files). The patch just makes it easier for those not wanting to do a transfer or not having access to the older files.

 

Flip,
No problem with your method. I rename the file in the RF version bouducon.bak and then copy the file from the ripper version. Why one would want to is questionable, but this method allows changing back to the original program. Delete the ripper version of bouducon.dll and rename the bouducon.bak to bouducon.dll and you're back to RF without the ripper. The patch creates a bak file which gives the return to original option. By deleting the file you limit your options.

Don't know if you ever noticed. When upgrading the 321 programs, there was usually a bak folder created with the previous version files.

 

I wasn't the first. Xbadboy2 was the first who clued me into the location of the bouducon.dll file. I wasn't willing to set down and go through the files to hunt down the one with the ripper function. Not enough patience.

Since DVDXcopy can use HD files, I simply used an emulator and ran the decrypted files through the RF program that way. Nearly as fast if you practice the method (except XCopy is faster at ripping than most). AnyDVD also did the job if I wanted the program to record on the fly like the old ripper program. So doing the bouducon.dll swap just made things easier by keeping the ripper in the program.

PsiDOC did everyone a favor when he did the Rip patch. He simplified the installation of the bouducon.dll in the RF version.

[bold]Here is another one for you. You have a Logs folder with a record of the various burns. I go in occasionally and delete these if I no longer have a need for them. If you get a bad burn, sometimes the log can tell you why. They're set in numerical order.[/bold]

 

Yes, Xbadboy2 and PsiDOC did a lot of people a favor. Didn't know if you knew about the logs or not. I've had questions about the logs and don't know how many people know their location.

Sort of bad XCopy wasn't developed more. The Feds nipped it in the bud. Now some other programs have started to overshadow it.

I haven't tried the Xtreme programs yet to see how good they work. I know if one is going to use them for encrypted programming, they have to have a ripper program. I don't think anyone has come up with a patch for these programs yet.

Are you talking about Xtreme from 321 ?

 

Ok, I went to 321's site, put in my info, and it says they no longer support "ripper" programs. So being that I can't even get it from them, is there anything I can do?
