Archive.txt removal?

[J Tinsby]

Has anyone experimented with removing this file? Does just the name 'archive.txt' have to be there or must the file have something in it?

I understand that other burning software doesn't require this file at all ( naturally) but how do we use the DVD X Copy without it?


I was hoping someone had a patch for this so it isn't needed at all.


Thanks again.

Doesn't that file just tell dvdxcopy that the dvd is a copy made by dvdxcopy so that it won't copy a copy? You can either delete the file before dvdxcopy burns it or if you're going to make a copy of a copy then you don't even need to use dvdxcopy, just rip it/copy it to your hard drive and burn it or disc-to-disc burn as the copy protection will have been removed already.

That file also contains information on whom created the DVD Backup.

Yeah, you can yank it. Nobody needs it at all.

Hi Yall,

I get this msg. before DXCX starts ripping the movie to my HDD.
What can I do to still get the rip on my HDD without this Archive.txt?

DVD Shrink also does not let me rip it to my HDD, half way trough the process I get an error.
