Decrypter , shrink

[faithfoo]

1) what is the best way to backup a commercial DVD that is region 1, 2, 3

is it via decrpytor ( any free download)

2) do I have to combine it with SHrink ?? or can it survive just with Shrink for my purpose .

3) or do I need a PERFECT DVD Movie backup software to do this


4) can anybody enlighten how to crach the code for LG 4082 so that it can perpetually play region 1,2,3 ( not limited to 5 times )

I heard that flashing the drive maybe harmful to drive , can we use
the following software instead to watch all regions of DVD movie without hitting the 5 times limit ( or does Shrink suffice )

DVD Region-Free Lite 3.68 or DVD Region Killer 2.5.0.2



1) Can you guide me as to flash it ..


given that it is based on firmware A 204 , shd I download A204 DOS, or A204 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset)

should we flash the drive after we first buy the drive or only after teh drive is locked after 5 times ..

DVD Decrypter rips the files, and strips the Region barriers out. DVD Shrink will analyze, compress, encode, and burn the DVD with Nero 6 by default.
These two programs are freeware and work great together or apart.

can you show me the wbsite to download Decrptor as a freeware

[hoxlund]

www.dvdshrink.info for downloads and guides

flashing is not harmful, just don't inturupt it and make sure you restart and/or shutdown after you do it

LG drives have a bad rap for flashing dont they?

Tks all

Mine is a brand new DVD writer .. LG 4082 .
I confirm that can we use SHRINK to watch & BACK UP all regions of DVD movie without hitting the 5 times limit that drive imposes .

a) I do not have to resort to flash the drive or use softwares DVD Region-Free Lite 3.68 or DVD Region Killer 2.5.0.2

2) Great to know that can just start off with shrink to do a back up copies of commericial DVD movies ( all regions) ....without having to get any software at the moment

yeah dvdshrink is very nice, it disables the CSS protection in dvds and regionless

its one of the few programs i bought
