process log file is blank perhaps since prog hangs during reading

[brasstownjim]

when dvdfab locks other prog windows are superimposed and requires task manager to close and fix

also same thing happens on 3 other disks

You sure that Pathplayer is set as Always Enabled

[brasstownjim]

yes tried another copy first setting path then looked at log same thing

Hi brasstownjim,

Please visit to download and install the latest free beta version of DVDFab Passkey to remove protections firstly.

And then try using DVDFab DVD Copy to copy your original DVD disc and see the result.

Best regards,

You can also try turning off the read ahead cache in DVDFab Common Settings, sometimes this helps with read problems. It is located under DVD/Blu-ray->Read.

[brasstownjim]

thanks will try both suggestions and get back.

can you tell me does passkey work same as dv dcopy strips then copies stripped files to drive or does it strip from original leaving original free of protections?

[maineman]

Passkey is an on-the-fly-decrypter...essentially a "windows-based-driver". It decrypts only.
It has to be used with other software, for eg., DVD Copy, Img, in order to actually create an image on the hdd.

Please take a look at this thread:

Sorry, I forget to add...
Just to follow-up on my pal signals' advice, please read through my thread:

[brasstownjim]

thanks guys my ? regards the integrity of the source disk when I run passkey will it change the source disk at all? Concerned about doing damage to disk

[AGJ]

when I run passkey will it change the source disk at all?

No it will not change anything on the source disc. Passkey only makes the computer and the program you are using to copy the DVD think that the source DVD is not copy protected

[maineman]

AGJ's advice is right on the money as always.

Just to add...
No software can do anything to a source disc, certainly not an original, pressed disc.
As a matter of fact, even a burned copy is safe as long as it's been finalized or not a re-writable disc

[brasstownjim]

thanks to all problem solved disk copy successful.

One last ? what is process to upload a screen shot I use snagit. which format, etc
