5.0 out of 5 stars Banned version containing the de-crypter works fine, July 23, 2004

By 

PJ (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This DVDXCOPY version 4.0.3.8 with the de-crypter is legally for sale by at least 2 large chain electronic/appliance retailers in Canada.

The back of the 2004 product box will have a photo of the Nemo DVD movie. The 2003 version will have the Monster Inc. DVD movie, and I've been told it also has the de-crypter.

Clicking on the "DVDXCOPY Platinum" desktop short cut icon opens the DVDXCOPY Platinum panel. There are 6 buttons on the left side of the panel; "Simple", "Advanced", DVDXRESCUE", "TDF Library", "Settings", and "321 Online".

For 1-step less than 1-hour copying, clicking on "Simple" will quickly get you to the DVDXCOPY XPRESS panel. You will have to answer "no" to the "Is this a rental DVD?" question, and answer "I accept" to their agreement in order to get to the XPRESS panel. Once there, simply click on the green coloured "Start" button and your entire encrypted movie DVD will be de-crypted, compressed, and copied onto a single DVD. You also have the choice of clicking on the green coloured "Options" button where you can specify your preferred "audio language", "video format", "subtitles", "temp path", and "save as default" settings.

For full manual compression control, clicking on "Advanced" will get you to the DVDXCOPY Platinum panel. From there, you can "select titles", "compression", "preview video", "check for TDF", "save TDF", "splitting", and "write DVD".

Clicking on "DVDXRESCUE" will allow you to analyse, diagnose, and recover data from most DVD's and CD's. The software (version 2.1.2 Build 16) will copy the repaired data from the damaged media to a new disc. I was able to fully restore a jumpy and scratched encrypted rental movie DVD without any problems. The process took less than 30 minutes.

So far, compressing double layered rental, and purchased movie DVD's onto a single layer DVD in both R(W) formats has worked without any problems.

The only hassle would be to those without internet access. In order for DVDXCOPY Platinum, and DVDXRESCUE to operate, you must download a registration file from the company's website either onto a floppy diskette, or directly onto your hard drive. You cannot telephone their technical support department to obtain the registration file; at least not from Canada.
