Looking at it doing a straight rip to avi. Does it do that rather than taking an image? <3

I use DVD decrypter but i dont know if it can rip straight to avi. I think you will need to encode the raw file using something like AutoGK in order to get it to Avi.

As far as I'm aware it doesn't. It rips .VOB files though, which you can then convert using something like SUPER or HandBrake.

At the moment I'm trying to convert the Video files located in the DVD folder straight to .avi using AVS Video converter and at the same time in the background using DVD43 decrypter..

Will see how it turns out, 20 minutes to go :D

I'm assuming it will be a fail.

Hi, please stop digging up old threads.

You have 2 posts, both related to piracy and in threads rounding a month old. I suggest that if these guys haven't what they wanted to by now, they're not going to. xpertz hasn't pirated these two things yet. he's not going to.

Thank you for your co-operation.

I'm curious as to how this happens.

You were browsing around a little used subforum for programming in which some fool has decided to use for piracy enabling software discussions because it says 'software' in the title, and you suddenly felt absolutely compelled to sign up and post 2 comments in old threads started, and whilst supplying almost no good information opting instead to state mundanely obvious things?

This is a serious question.
Also, I'd like you to answer in well formed English, if you could.

You never actually buy software, you buy the rights to legally use that software. The software (IP) is still owned by the developer.

You really do have an extra chromosome.

This is exactly a piracy discussion. He's not asking what software he could buy to burn documents to a disc. He's asking what applications you use to steal a movie from a DVD, convert it and dump it on a consumer writable disc.

And the other thread you replied to was about copying PS2 games... which last time I checked, was illegal too.

To which you specifically felt the burning need to create a brand new account for, just to answer a thread that was already growing old and forgotten with some mundane captain obvious shit.

Congrats. You've just broken 3 rules of forum ettiquite with a single post, and your FIRST post too! That's gotta be some kind of record for being a dickhead.

Upon being asked to stop, instead of saying sorry and just not doing it again you spit out some snarky retard remark and try to dodge the blame, typical of immature youth. Which you can't even manage to do in plain English. Score another point for NCEA.

it is not illegal to have backups of your own games/movies. he did not state what he was using the software for so how can you know that he is going to use it for that?

There is only one reason someone wants to make 'offsite backups'. Or onsite backups for that matter. Everyone knows this, inluding the NZ government. What you spray out in your first sentence is internet moron propelled myth, rumour and rubbish. There is only a single reason someone asks what software can copy a movie DVD.

A new genuine new member would make their first post in a thread about the game of his or her choice. If you really had genuine interest in this place past helping pirates do their thing publically (thus increasing the overlord eye's train on us all) you'd probably just avoid me and stick to the forum of whatever game it was that drew you into this GAMING COMMUNITY in the first place.

I simply posted asking you to refrain from talking about piracy in public. And a wee reminder not to break forum etiquitte by digging up old threads. In reply, you question my judgement impling stupidity and dodge the blame by doing so. DO NOT BLAME ME FOR YOUR MISTAKES. A simple "sorry, I was not aware that a month was old in this community" (if anything) would have sufficed.

I am also not the one ruining this entire forum. You have posted in a small subsection of it, and fucked up in making said post. This section is one of only a few places I actually read threads. But I can gaurantee you that should you keep up the same attitude elsewhere, you'll be met with the same response. BECAUSE NO ONE LIKES A DICKHEAD.

As a gaming community, we especially don't like being clamped down upon by the corporates revoking the right for us to host servers for their games because of members discussing how to pirate their merchandise. Therefore, as a community, we already don't like you.

I'll say it again so maybe it'll get through:
Most first posts are in a forum regarding the new members game of choice.
Your first post was in a thread about piracy. What does that say about you?


TL;DR?

Your logic is flawed.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Rubbish. I have DVDs of tv shows and movies, which are all ripped to my computer. Its just a lot easier to find a file in a computer, then constantly insert discs. Not to mention if you have collector edition dvds, you would try keep them in nice condition. I do the same thing with music as well. Not to mention most tvs are easy to set up to stream, so its easier to access stuff if its just all backed up to one location.

The only people who still believe backups are for piracy only, are the movie industry who still seems to be stuck in the past, and don't realise digital media is what people want.

+1
You can recover (in most cases) a file lost on a harddrive bar some extreme physical damage. In the event of a corrupt harddrive/OS install/format, you can recover data.
In the event of a broken disc, you're boned.
I and many others I know backup our files onto drives, some of us spanning various terabytes of storage.

While I can understand (and have forcibly studied) piracy and the implications of it, you shouldn't have a preconceived idea that everyone who wants to do something is doing it for illegal purposes.

Ever lost an install disc? Had someone or yourself break a CD/DVD? Too many scratches in it? I have, in just about all cases. Digital media, backups and storage is a god send.

For movies I'm unsure of it's *current* legality, but for games if it's permitted in the EULA you are allowed to back them up.

The overwhelming majority of EULAs do not permit copies to be made from the source media, assuming that the majority of EULAs can be enforced. Any speculation on this would require you to read EULAs. I suspect reading EULAs violate the terms of these EULAs, failing that you would lose the will to live very quickly and thusly the publisher would have no liability in regards to your inevitable EULA induced suicide.

For movies you are generously permitted to keep a single recording for up to a week (irrc) after it was broadcast. wait, what?

Thats not how it works, manufactures don't want to put restrictions in that would give them a disadvantage.

If sky put a restriction in their device that time limits a recording, people would instead buy other hard drive recorders that don't have restrictions.

It's the same reason why car companies don't put speed restrictions in the cars they make, otherwise no one would buy them.

Any way, the law states that you are allowed to record a broadcast for "time-sharing" purposes so that you can watch it later in a reasonable time frame. But I don't think it states anywhere what a 'reasonable' time frame is. Hence a time restriction on a device wouldn't make any sense.

I use ImgBurn and it works great.


Looking at it doing a straight rip to avi. Does it do that rather than taking an image? <3


Use DVDdecrypter (or if you have access to linux, libdvdcss with copy disc to image), and then run the image through http://handbrake.fr

Avi is obsolete as a container, it doesn't handle newer codecs as well and has way too features for todays multimedia needs.

Handbrake contains into ogm, mkv (my special choice) and mp4, and it handles x264 and can add multiple audio tracks and subtitles if you need those features.

But it is rather slow.

You could run a pass through mencoder, but it's getting a bit old these days too :/
It is still pretty fuck'n excellent though.

You know, for all those creative commons linux documentaries...

mmm. It's a fantastic tool, and most things that encode anything use it!

however the development on the mplayer project has slowed a great amount over the past few years to the point where it's sheer awesomeness has been encroached upon by other players (with cleaner codebase and apis too).

A sad day, I'm mplayer and xmms (original) diehard to the end, but... even I'm starting to question. They've dropped the GUI development all together too.

I found windows standalone versions of mplayer difficult and tempermental to use. I found VLC is a much more reliable standalone player despite it's quirks. I mostly stick with ffdshow now.
Title: Re: DVD pirating/backup discussion.
Post by: Pyromanik on September 08, 2010, 07:47:45 am
Mplayer was the first project to include ffdshow within it's binaries (largly negating the need for external codecs). VLC copied suit, but got a much more stable windows version out there quicker. As such, every twat now thinks they're the shizzle.

Originally VLC was just for receiving streams.

On linux (where both projects were born) the stability is vice versa.
Mplayer in windows has been quite stable for a long time... it's more the GUI that crashes. It's fantastic support for frontends has reduced that majorly... however now it seems to be the backend that crashes. *sigh*

smplayer is probably the best GUI project around.

An admin didn't like what you said. It's their way of 'soft-deleting' the post.

Oh yeah no doubt mplayer/mencoder is pure awesomeness and legendary but not for the faint of heart. Learning is not the problem (though will probably find even that problematic), its remembering!!!

Oh yeah VLC does some conversions too. The advantage there is that libdvdcss is already there. Rii, try compiling VLC from, source you might find you get better performance.

Compiling XBMC is fun too.

Seriously, tho while mencoder is pretty darn powerful, go handbrake.fr

Its mods, not admins, that can hide or edit things. In this case it was a tidy up of the posts with huge text which made the thread hard to read rather than because of any dislike of what was said.

Perhaps a better idea would be to axe the whole thread.

My goodness, Mplayer gives me a headache - far too many options with all the ffssddhdfhsowowo and what not.. although it does have the best output and makes 1080p movie files look much much better.

See now this is the other thing. When I say mplayer, everyone seems to incorrectly assume MPC.

THE pioneer of video playback in linux.

And when someone got around to making a windows release... so good. I still remember the awesome of turning the university computer labs into an advance screening of Terminator 3, despite the lack of permissions to install codecs or a viewer xD
