Great....one thing I noticed with DVD Decrypter which could hopefully be fixed in the next version is the fact that when you set the "delete incomplete files" to "NO"..DVD DECRYPTER can memorize that setting.

The way it is currently...if you change that setting to "NO" DVD Decrypter will revert back to "YES" on its own after you close out or reboot your PC. When I want to check settings of a specific VOB..I usually just rip 10% of that Vob..stop the Rip process and then check it. But being that DVD Decrypter always changes the option back to "YES"...I have to make sure I constantly change it back to "NO."

But that is obviously a minor thing for such an amazing proggy.

This new version of DVD Decrypter (3.1.7.0) fixed my NEC ND-1300A burner problems. I am now able to use the OptoDisc GOLD 1X-4X -R media which is available at www.meritline.com for $1.14 in 100 quantity. This media also works great on my SONY 510a and a friend of mine uses iit on his Pioneer A06.

You will also need the firmware upgrade to 1.08 for the NEC. Get it here:

Major news IMHO is that finally it is finalizin write on LG GMA-4020B (A108) alas all previous version used to stuck at 99%;
I also tested it earlier with LG GSA-4040B (A300) and same model with A104 fware, and it works great - but thats whats ought to be expected anyway.

All done with -R discs only.

"Added support for 24bit PCM streams"
I wonder if Lightning UK is thinking of DVD-AUDIO?

The best just keeps on getting better....

looks like he also fixed the "delete incomplete file" function which continued to revert back to "YES" by default every time you'd restart your pc or go out of dvd decrypter and back in. It's useful when you just want to rip part of a vob..and when it deletes by itself you have to remember to change the option back to "NO" each time prior to partially ripping.

For some reason the other functions would remain at your preferences except that one, but with this latest version it looks like that's been fixed as well. Amazing proggy.

I've used DVD Decrypter 3.1.4.0 for all my back ups. My question is do any of the new versions do anything that improves picture quality, or are there just new features to make them easier/more convienent for other jobs to be done with just using this one program?

[chunkT]

Yes DVD Decryptor is an excellent burning program most people dont know that and being FREE its hard to beat. I burn .iso .gi .img files all flawless with my burners (Pioneer A06 (2 of em) and Sony DRU (just one )

I donated few bucks to the author cause its well worth his excellent work.. if you havent do the same as well.

* BUG * (probably)

I was just backing up some movie.
DVDDec. 3.1.9.0 didnt detect CSS protection, detected wrong Region, (showed all regions), and didnt detect RCE at all. I was right away sure something must be wrong as it never happened with Warner Bros discs to be unencrypted and have no Region set etc... well I let it go as is and wasn't surprised ripping disc to hdd was going at 0.1x (or actually at no speed at all).
I used DVDShrink to get right CSS key, entered it manually in "force key" option and then DVDDec worked (@3.4x right at the begining - kinda normal for this drive - but I didnt finish ripping it with DVDDec since it still didnt detect Region or RCE properly, it was just a test; I've used DVDShrink set to 0% compression to rip it for me to hdd).

Has something changed with de-CSS routine in DVDDec 3.1.9.0 ?
I've never had such prob with DVDDec 3.1.xx in the past... I'd hate to ask for donation refund now

"* BUG * (probably)"

Ditto,I went back to 3.1.6.0

[buffotoad]

Has anyone else tried this upgrade? Is everyone else using it with no problems, or should I wait to upgrade?

[goldmember1]

I still use 3.1.6.0 myself I found the updated versions all seemed a bit buggy slow ripping & incorrect book types on my discs.

[lordsmurf]

I use 3.1.8.0 because 3.1.6.0 did not recognize my BTC burner's 4x DVD+R media properly.

[tompika]

incorrect book types on my discs.

Actually 3.1.7.0 and up shows both the ADIP info and the last recorded booktype on my 5125a.


I had some buffer underrun problems with 3.1.8.0 but 3.1.0.9 works OK with my Ricoh and Pioneer106 too...

Maybe you didn't authenticate (play a little of the title) before ripping it?
