Bypass VCDProt

Guys i have tried using isobuster 1.9.0.3 but no luck. Is there anyone whocan help me by pass this Protection it uses, anyone with experience pls help me!

Does "it" play in a settop?
If so, hook your settop up to a capture card & record the incoming stream.
Copied!

If it doesn't play in a settop, it's broken. Get your money back.

Sir what i want is
VCDProt overrides the imag file properties like chnging mode2/form2 to mode2/form1 etc
and this is really tricky if you burn a vcd with this and if i load the protected image with isobuster 1.0.9.3 it only shows that its a video cd and i have to serach manually for the video file and yet the result is one big movie file (i have the case in which i am using it on a vcd). So what can be done to extract it?[/b]

...and yet the result is one big movie file

To extract what?

You wanted to bypass it, and I gave you an example of how to do so. It may not be what you were looking for, but it's still quite valid.

If you particularly want to be able to extract/rip the file from the disc and convert it to something usable for re-authoring/recopying, you may need to know more about the way VCDprot works...
If, as you stated, it does work by fooling around with the Mode/Form expectations, this is very bad, because it would probably be unviewable on many machines, not just uncopyable.
However, there is a way around this if you know for a fact that it's changing the M2F2 designation on the MPEG tracks to M2F1 (even though it's still burned correctly as M2F2):
ISOBuster, extract disc as raw bin. Save cue file also.
Then use CDMage (hard to find, but indispensible) and extract (right click) desired track, but change the default mode to what it should have been if mastered correctly/normally. Or extract the track as the "wrong/current" format and then use CDrom Image Converter ftp://ftp.externet.hu/pub/mirror/sac/utildisk/cdimgcvt.zip
If one of these methods doesn't work correctly, it's because you're assumption of how it works is incorrect.

I have been working on ur idea but only using the cd image converter which was made by the same author of VCDProt, i will try ur idea. Well thx anyway

regarding vcdprot - never tried to break it. But track extraction would kick it off as it only changes the iso structure.
