Seriously there must be someone at Universal who is paranoid about copying but also hates the idea of anyone getting to see any of their movies unless it looks so bad like it's an analogue broadcast from 1980 during an electrical storm. Yes, Universal you fsckng knuckleheads, there are 20 million P2P addicts desperate to see this film for the twentieth time (not) and discover that you still don't care that it looks like it was cammed from a worn out VHS. The last DVD I ripped with this protection was my DVD of the 1973 film Day of the Jackal. ![]() And to rub it in this is on PAL DVDs from Universal which tend to be the very poorest transfers to DVD of any major studio and are not worthy of protection anyway (if you really like the film that much you can easily find a torrent of the region 1 DVD or the Blu-ray). ![]() I've used it a couple of times on DVDs I own which have really shitty copy protection that uses bad sectors throughout the DVD that are ignored by hardware DVD players but can cause ripping/dumping to produce a movie that doesn't play back smoothly (in theory it should prevent playback and ripping on PC but it's all BS in the end). It does much the same as mplayer's dumping but I think it will do it without screwing up the times and I think also that it uses its own decryption method on DVDs so it can handle some discs that libdvdcss2 cannot. If you don't mind using proprietary software from a 3rd party you could try makemkv. From memory I think it will seek back and forth OK until you go past the incorrectly identified last time frame and then you can either watch it through or pause or quit. This shouldn't stop you being able to playback the file but it will break seeking. For example a 120 minute movie may be recognised as 30 or 60 or 90 minutes (or something). 1: yes, but not if you want speed and you prefer to use free software from Debian or debian-multimedia.ΔΆ: you'll probably find that playback applications, including mplayer, don't read the length (time) of the movie properly.
