DVD Decrypter 3.5.4

Is this compatible with Windows 7? I installed it but when I run the program, I get some sort of I/O error- Interpretation- Inquiry and doesnt seem to find my source devices. This is strange as Imgburn and other softwares work fine.

The last time DVD Decrypter was worked on, Windows 7 didn't exist. You could try compatibility mode.

Also you might try running it as an administrator.

I just tried it with my W7 PC and it runs fine. I installed it as an Administrator. It found all my DVD drives and loaded the data from a DVD disc with no problems. I do have AnyDVD HD running in the background, but this was a burned disc I tried. I doubt if it will decrypt very many newer commercial discs.

After 6+ years of membership and over 600 posts, how do you not know the story of DVD Decrypter?

The guy who wrote it was given an offer he couldn't refuse by a company involved in DVD production. He was told that he could either stop working on it and surrender the source code or he could take his chances in court. Keep in mind that this was not terribly long after 123 Studios got sued out of existence for making a commercial decryption product that actually preserved DVD copy protection on the backups it made so that those backups could not be copied again. Needless to say, the author decided to accept the offer. So DVD Decrypter hasn't been updated in something like 3 years and Windows 7 wasn't around at that time.

Note that some studios now use a method of copy protection on DVDs that involves deliberately placing bad sectors on the disc. DVD Decrypter cannot work on such discs. Most studios don't use this method, but some of the bigger ones do.

jman98 sez: "After 6+ years of membership and over 600 posts, how do you not know the story of DVD Decrypter?"

Yet another case of your ridiculing a forum member (pardon me, "being blunt", as you've described it in other posts) . . . . Why? To what purpose?

NOTHING in the OP's original e-mail suggests he isn't 100% knowledgeable of "the story of DVD Decrypter." Why on earth would you choose to make that leap in logic?

He merely asks the forum if someone has knowledge about its compatibility with Win7, to which many "non-blunt" responses of a constructive nature were given, without the need to insult or ridicule.

DVD Decrypter has other uses than just decrypting DVDs. I still use it on occasion to 'Demultiplex DVD to separate audio, video and subtitle streams.'
