DVD Decrypter is the only backup solution for
Linux (runs under Wine quite nicely w/ ide-scsi
support) for Sony DVD's.
Sony writes bad sectors and addresses sectors
beyond the edge of the media in their form of
"ARCCOS" copy protection. DVD Decrypter simply
inserts dummy sectors when appropriate.
libdvdread cannot backup these discs, I've been
in contact w/ the authors, but there is still
no solution.
I'm done giving Sony money until I can backup
the media I own.
Indeed this is how it starts. When you pay your
tax, you'll need to affix a registration sticker
to your PC, and renew it every year. Then
a whole new organized smuggling syndicate will
emerge just like untaxed cigarettes and booze.
These syndicates will lobby in support of these
proposed taxes!
