The challenge would be using libdvdnav in such way that no useful content is left out, such as extras, audio commentaries or interactive 'tour around the set' features, like Van Helsing's (2004) castle tour.īTW DVDFab has a similar feature called PathPlayer. All of my Arcoss/corrupted toc protected DVDs play succesfully with VLC (I don't have AnyDVD installed). Since the protections insert disc errors in parts of the disc that don't contain any playable data and thus are never accessed during playback (Arcoss, Ripguard), or insert phantom files that are never accessed during playback too (corrupted toc), libdvdnav can defeat these protections. But if you know something, please please post. In fact, the only programs that I know that can defeat these two protections (and don't change the container/format) are AnyDVD and DVD Fab. The problem is with DVDs that have Arcoss and corrupted TOC, which insert errors in the disc that cause programs like K9 and DeCSS to choke badly. If I wanted to copy the DVDs of my collection which utilize only CSS (and no Arccos or corrupted TOC), then even the ancient DeCSS would do the job.

The main problem with K9 copy is that it doesn't defeat modern copy protections like Arccos and Corrupted TOC, which is exactly the kind of protections I want to beat, because they make two of my standalones act weird (CSS is not a problem, as it plays fine even in very old standalones, because it's part of the spec).

Its open source (only linux, afaik), and can decrypt, and burn on either a -DL disc or shrink it to fit a single layer disc.
