Is there any way to decrypt the movie on that disks, so I would enjoy it?

[nazad]

Hi everyone,
I am a new user of this forum, so don't know if I am in a right place.
Friend of mine gave me a truckload of Divx disks. I tried to play them on my DVD player that can play Divx (Philips dvp642), but I am getting gray screen with message that the movie is encrypteed and I have no authority to view it.
Is there any way to decrypt the movie on that disks, so I would enjoy it?
Appreciate any suggestion.

You are off to a great start. First post and you

1. Hijack someone else's thread that is completely unrelated to your problems

and

2. Ask how to break into videos you do not own in contravention of the forum rules.

My suggestion would be to

1. Read the forum rules again
2. Start a new thread for your problems, not hijack others
3. Ask questions that fit withint he forum rules so we don't get shutdown and lose all this valuable information

I've split your post off to a new thread. If you are not replying to an existing post, please start a new thread.

If you are asking about help with copyrighted videos you do not own, then that's a violation of our rules. Please read our rules before posting: https://forum.videohelp.com/topic124514.html

For other types of videos, you would have to give us more information. Gspot should tell you about your video and what codecs it needs to play.

Divx/Xvid files need to follow certain conventions to play on stand alone players.

This from a old post by jman98 about what's not compatible:

1) GMC (Global Motion Compensation). Some support it up to 1 warp point. Some don't support it at all. If it's used during encoding, it probably has 3 warp points and no standalone DVD player at this time appears to support that. Despite some claims to support it, I've seen reviews where 3 warp point GMC was tested and it always failed.
2) QPel (Quarter Pixel)
3) Packed bitstream.
4) Resolutions greater than 720x576.
5) Video bit rates higher than 2000 Kbps. With some Divx playback chips, if your audio is anything other than MP3, you may have to drop the video bit rate as low as 1400 Kbps or you may have audio playback problems.

Also, VBR audio might cause problems with some players, as well. If your AVIs have any of the above, you might need to modify/recompress them before they'll play on your player.

I think he's talking about the old Circuit City DIVX, whose copy protection was never broken. His friend gave him worthless trash fit only for the dump. The AVI DivX codec was a play on the name:

That would be funny.
