for anyone else out there that has a Doberman, or a nutjob dog that thinks shiny DVDs are candy, this is an AMAZING tool to backup your DVDs. Also, having kids with dirty, grubby, sticky hands can be a problem too.

I backup ALL my DVDs, and put the originals inside a safe that me and my wife own.


Honestly, i dont care what Sony or any other company says i can or cant do with movies i legally bought. maybe they can come to my house and watch the Dobermans 24/7, or they can come to your house and babysit your kids.



you need DVDshrink and DVDdecryptor too, ALL ARE FREE.

this tools will take a DVD, and back it up for you in a step by step wizard.

i bought silent hill on wednesday, and sure enough, one of the dobermans was eyeing the case and sniffing. i will definitely pay for my movies, but i refuse to let Sony deny me the common sense to backup a quality movie because **** happens.

As I do a lot of Backups etc. I can clearly suggest you.

Please! Remove those links from this area.
Because this Forum is hosted in France where (beside the us and germany etc.) existing laws do prohibit bypassing a digital copyprotection on original DVDs.
Now the very sad thing: If you do provide links on your webpage to backupsystems or backupsoftare which actually do bypass such a digital protection you make yourself responsable.
And as the responsable of this webpage is Fred he could get into a lot of trouble!

You mention "DVDdecryptor" and you do link to a page where a direct link to "DVDdecryptor" is given and DVDdecryptor in such countries where those laws do exist is illegal.

If you dont beleive me, then do search in the www as the french government signed such law some month ago which also affects links to i.E. VideoLan binaries as it gots de-CSS protection routines.

Hmm, use google, enter DVD copies or similar..
Google then *does* provides the links..

Now Google is responsible?

Google is a search engine where here other regelements are given/valid.

Anyhow ... im not forcing this. Im Mod on Doom9 Videoforum and this WAS once an issue

i removed the links so not to get Fred in trouble, but if any of you want, private message me with your email address, and i will send you all the links i have.

i am in the US, and tools like that are by no means illegal to have. so if i send you the links, it will be in a form of private communication.

what is up with the french gov't? i thought the US gov't was in the pocket of big corporations pretty badfly, but to prosecute someone just because they tell people where links are to backup DVDs?

I use SmartRipper - which is great. and free...

Anyway, in the US you are allowed to make one copy of any DVD/Video you legally own. I think its called the "I-cant-control-my-doberman" law.

What if he put the links in an <IFRAME> which points to a server in the US, would that be legal? just wondering...

It would still contain or link to material which is subject to copyright law infrigment.

The video conversion ElDorado in the www: http://forum.doom9.org

what about a encrypted link just wondering...

Or we could all use the Base64 encoder in PB to encode it hehehehe

Well no, it would contain a "link/frame" to another site that contains a link to the material. It's a link to a link to a link to a link etc... when does it become illegal? I mean basically many links we post here might in some form or other end up at one of these programs, e.g. free webspaces, upload places etc. are sponsored by adds, some of which lead to illegal software in some countries.

Laws laws laws... when will it end :S

What if you link to Google? doesn't it have links to warez sites? are you then breaking the law if you link to Google?

Yeah I don't know ... it's a good question. And is google then illegal in many countries? Strange indeed
