Cracking Twilight New Moon
Post Cracking Twilight New Moon DVD FAB freeware version is: 3.0.8.6 active from 2004-2007
I got a warning that it wouldn't work with anydvd. Its clearly got some new way of protecting this title. I considered going to ripit4me which is the tactic I enjoy the least. I have an old version of DVD Fab. Not a new version but an old version, because the old version works as good as the new version. Essentially I just ripped the file to my hard disk successfully with DVD Fab. It might have worked just as well to rip the file with Anydvd or some other ripper. Not everyone knows that sometimes ripping solves the problem. Anyway. DVD FAB easily created an analysis file, and DVD Shrink spent about ten seconds turning it into the first done analysis stage of Shrink. I had already used FAB to just get the movie, no menus. I got a completed *.iso file with no problem, in a fairly short time. As I started writing this, Imgburn completed burning the disk. I put it in my DVD player, mated to an NTSC projector, and bang, it looks good so far. One little asterisk. When Imgburn attempted to write a lead-in to burn the disk from the iso, there was a pop-up that said something like "the image has been locked, you don't have permission to open" Something like that. I've never seen that before. But I tried again, got the same pop-up, but the pop-up from imgburn had a workaround, an OUT! The third option was "continue" That sounded positive, so I continued. Usually if Image burn doesn't produce an intense buffer line after the first minute of writing a lead-in, the DVD won't burn, and you're left with a coaster. But this time I intuited that the burning process was underway while I contemplated the pop-up twice, and it would thus go past one minute. What I noticed most was that the burn-in process did not engage in a bunch of retries, which are noted and counted. That's a positive sign. It meant the original writing a leadin was still underway, and even though the time had spiraled past one minute which usually indicates a coaster, this time I intuited it was likely to work anyway. Follow my lead, use the same program, possibly even anydvd's file download will work as well as DVD FAB's. And feel free to write me about this if you have trouble.
It appears someone else cracked this one with an updated ANYDVD. I have that down on some machines but its a hassle to be downloading the new one all the time. If that works, fine. But the DVD FAB way works tool
