Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Macrovision has tentatively announced that they are going to bring their Fade copy protection systems currently employed for computer games to DVD. Fade uses bad sectors on the disc which copy tools take for read errors and try to correct. If those sectors are changed, the game will gradually deteriorate until it becomes unplayable. The DVD variant, called SafeDVD, should use a similar technique and be released next year.
Does anyone know if there is a way to bypass the effects of FADE copy
protection when copying PC DVD Game discs yet?
"Do not use error correction". Sounds too simple, really...
You can put the error correction off in most programs, either in the shell environment or the hard way with a command line. Thus the copy program will not try to read the bad sectors, but simply copies them 'as is'. Most of the time, that is. Some proggies simply say something like :'bad sector, copy aborted'. Fingers crossed that this is NOT the case for you, then.
With that kind of percentage, Alcohol can do anything for you baby

I've been using DVD X Copy Platinum, gets rid of all that nasty macrovision and region stuff and compresses the DVD (if needs be) so it will fit onto a normal 4.7gb DVD-R.
Only does video DVDs not Data though.
I was actually trying to make a copy of "toca racing driver 2"
(PC Game) which I
own on DVD. Apparently it employs safe disk 3 copy protection, which Im
told is currently un-copyable without a Plex 8x SCSI writer...which I dont
have. ......so ...Ill live with my existing copy, unless someone knows if
this copy protection HAS been beaten now??
