Copying Copy Protected 'Antz' ?

[pmoscatt]

G'Day All,

I have recently purchased 'Antz' for the kids and instead of them watching the original DVD (and eventually destroying the DVD - as kids do...) I am trying to make up a backup copy for them to use instead.

I have tried to rip the DVD using 'SmartRipper' but it fails as it reports that it has a locked vob.

How does one get around this and allow me to make a copy ?

Regards
Pete

try playing the dvd for a couple of minutes though a software player (powerdvd, windvd)on your computer then ripping it

G'Day Jeex,

Thanks for the tip - I will give this a try and see how things turn out.

Try DVD Decrypter too. I like it better than the older Smartripper. And to copy the full disc, DVDshrink should be great too.

Hi txpharoah,

Thanks for your help - managed to copy it now using jeex's idea. Work both with Smartripper and Decrypter.
