Latest AnyDVD

Latest DVDDecrypter 3.5.4.0 will do the trick. You'll have to find it on a mirror site as the author was threaten and has killed his web site and stopped all work because it solves the problem that you are having.

Latest DVDDecrypter 3.5.4.0 will not copy it unless you use the most recent anydvd you could try dvdfab that will do it aswell

Forgot about dvdfab. More info here:

I was able to back up closer and Spanlish using the latest DVDDecrypter. I'm a region one person so maybe it is different for regiion 2 but it is worth a try as these disks have bogus sectors very early on. I do not use anydvd.

Region 2 version of Closer has a tougher copy protection of sonys arrcoss than the Region 1 version.

& this info comes from what source ?
Just seem's strange to me they would use a tougher copy protection for one country than another on the exact same dvd release at the same time.
Although i understand it would have to be a diff. production run because of the diff. video format, ect.

It has to be true. I backed up Closer R1 absolutely trouble free. Then R2 came out and all sorts of problems arose. Latest AnyDVD specifically addresses non-R1 Closer.

For your information, Region 1 and 2 dvds are not released at the same time (which is the whole point of region coding)

Region 2 usually comes out several months after the Region 1 release. Which means Sony have time to get tougher on their copy protections.

Ya don't say

I was asking because i never heard this before or saw that thread, and seeing as i never even saw the movie, never planned on owning it, i really never looked into it...
So i asked

The point was i just wondered if anyone had proof for sure or if it was just people having "problems" as many have seen before with the exact same disc. I also stated that i know they would be diff. production runs because of format's, but it just seemed starnge that they would make that much of a diff. and not try to make them all the same.

:P :P :P nah!!

I don't even know the movie and i was thinking of ordering a region 2 disc to check it out & i usually only order region 2 or 4 dvd's if it's something i really want and can't get here, like i heard constantine was coming out on region 3 NTSC a month earlier than region 1
