Remove User prohibited actions

[jpc82]

Is it OK to remove all the user prohibited actions from a DVD when I backup my disks?

I just want to know if this will make the disks any less compatible after I do them?

No, you'll be fine. Go for it !

I don't like being told what I can do by a DVD either.

Some rented DVDs have lots of trailers at the beginning of the film that you HAVE to watch every time, so removing the UOPs on the DVDR copy is a godsend. Plus i find it annoying when films wont let you switch bewtween audio tracks mid film.

How do you do this?

[garryheather]

I hope that's a typo, Andydd - you appear to have just admitted to "backing up" titles you've rented...

[garryheather]

UEF - load all of the IFO files in sequence into IFOedit, click on Remove User Prohibitions (UOPS) and save the edited IFO file back into your compilation.

Easy money.

The rented DVDs are really the same as the commercial ones. It's definitely annoying when I spend 15-20 dollars on a DVD and they force you to sit through 5-10 minutes of commercials.

One of the worst offenders of this is Universal.

what about Disney, are they they same? as I seen them with a few trailers before the main movies but never really took much notice

yeah but it says at the beginning to press menu if you want to skip them and go straight to the movie. disney dvds are in my opinion the best dvds out. just watch the lion king on your pc monitor and you'll see what i'm talking about.
