In Linux distributions using DVDCSS,region decryption doesnt arise..just play.. 8)

libdvdcss

libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device without having to bother about the decryption.
Features

* Portability. Currently supported platforms are GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, BeOS, Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, MacOS X, Solaris, and HP-UX.
* Simplicity. There are currently 7 functions in the API, and we intend to keep this number low.

ps-my dvd drives are MATSH ITA UJ-822Da and an external FREECOM FX-50

deres no space in MATSH ITA but i gotta put it cuz d forums recognize 'sh|t' and censor it lol

Isnt it illegal to change the region codes more than 5 times?I dont think this topic must be discussed.

praka123 · 03-01-2006, 03:19 AM

before the topic locks up jus wanna say,there is something called firmware from some sources(use @ ur own risk!)

which can make supprted dvd drives reg**n free!

dIgItaL_BrAt · 03-01-2006, 06:41 AM

AnyDVD does not change the region code,it just fools the OS into thinking that that the DVD inserted has the proper region code.Also it's perfectly legal.

ishaan · 03-01-2006, 10:27 AM

yeah its not illegal...but i think it doesnt support my drives...even dvd regionfree...sigh

**kalpik** · 03-01-2006, 10:29 AM

Hmm... Thats really odd.. AnyDVD works just fine on all drives i installed it on..

ishaan · 03-01-2006, 10:32 AM

i tried it on my other computers it worked perfect, but not with this one so i gez that must b d prob

Actually AnyDVD does not depend on the type or make of drive!! Its just a windows driver!! So i doubt your drive is the problem!

AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD. You can also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player and with any DVD player software.

AnyDVD is capable of removing unwanted movie features, including subtitles and prohibition messages such as copyright and FBI warnings. It also allows you to launch an external application whenever you insert or remove a disc, or prevent 'PC-friendly' software from automatically launching when you insert a video DVD.

Decryption is not all that AnyDVD offers. You can control the drive speed of your DVD drive, allowing you to reduce the noise level when watching movies on your PC. You can even adjust the display frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays.

But AnyDVD doesn't just stop at DVDs. It also decrypts protected audio CDs to allow you to copy them.
