Hi,
In cleaning out the attic, I came across my giant stack of DIVX DVD's. I don't know if you recall, but they were a DVD rental idea that a company called DVE developed, and marketed through Circuit City. Basically, they were DVD's that you bought for about $4.50, and you had 48 hours to watch them. After the 48 hour period, the DIVX supporting DVD player would no longer play them. However, for an additional $1 per viewing you could get them to work again. Anyway, the company folded after about 2 years. Essentially, this left all of their previous customers/account holders in the dark and with a stack of unusable merchandise.
Now for my question. Now that I have found all of these movies, I am wondering, is there a computer program that will decode the movies (or if it's a simple getting to the media issue, to do just that) so that I can watch them on the PC? Or if possible, a program that can turn the DIVX DVD into a regular DVD?
Here is some info about the DVD's:
ex. DVD- Pulp Fiction
File System: INCDFS
Total Size 7.88 GB
If you put the disc into a regular DVD player, it'll say that you have attempted to play a DIVX disc in a non-DIVX DVD player, please call 1-800-etc.
Yes, the 7.88 GB seems large for a disc, but it should only be the Movie itself, no special features or anything of that sort (maybe alternate languages and subtitles, I can't remember). So, I am thinking that some of that 7.88GB is just spacer data, probably put in place to keep regular DVD players from supporting it.
Anyway, I am just hoping to get some more usage out of some movies that I had purchased with the faith of getting more than a couple views out of them. If anyone knows anything that can either view them on PC, or can remove the time protection and/or formatting, please let me know.

P.S. the folders on the DVD are:
ECCTRANA (640k)
ECCTRANB (670k)
VIDEO_TS (2.51MB)
ZOOM (7.87GB)

All I can suggest are:
1. go to http://www.mpegx.com/view.php?detail=1228
2. So why not try DVD423C39u29t55ter?It's one of the best. In fact, it's not a true name. If you wanna know its real name you will have to get rid of all of the arabic numerals in "DVD423C39u29t55ter", then you should find its real name
Why do it? Because some bastards always hack it!
You can search and find it in http://www.cnet.com or just google it!
Pay attention to: You must delete all arabic digits from DVD423C39u29t55ter, then you will find the software's real name...
