Re: New protection? Season of the Witch BD

Not really. It's actually an old thing that's hopefully on its way out. Well it actually looks like its on its way back in! This Bluray was only released this week! Looks like a simple way to knock out ripping. IMO that's unrelated. Plenty of Blu-rays have special features encoded in interlaced VC-...

Re: New protection? Season of the Witch BD

Bugger!

This is the first one out of about 200 rips.

My HTPC runs Xbmc and I want to keep it that way, is there any way round this?

Is this interlacing a new thing? seems odd that neither DVDFab or Anydvd could handle this disc.

Thanks for pointing this out crowfax

Re: New protection? Season of the Witch BD

I will do that when I get home but I can't remember seeing any error messages - as I said it seemed to copy as normal!

I tried using two different computers and drives, both copied fine but no video playback (just audio) using both Xbmc and VLC.

New protection? Season of the Witch BD

I have just tried to rip 'Season of the Witch' region 2/B Blu-Ray

it completed as per usual, however there is no picture when played back, just audio.

Is this a new kind of protection?

I have tried DVDFab and it crashes, Anydvd says it needs ctritical update!

Any ideas?
