Hi, Last week I purchased a licensed for StarBurn SDK personal.

I've got a few questions regarding Video DVD.

1.) How do I determine whether a Video DVD is inserted in a particular drive.

2.) How do I find out what type of copy protection, if any is applied to this Video DVD.

3.) What is the most reliable way of ripping an unprotected video DVD to hard disc, then burning it back to a blank recordable dvd.

4.) Could you supply me with code(or tell me who supplies code) that can rip a video dvd to hard drive as it appears on the disc and not in .iso or .mds format. for example: as a collection of .vob files with the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories.

5.) Do you know of any company that could supply me with code to compress the contents of a dvd. In other words so I could fit a 6 GB DVD movie onto a standard 4.7 GB blank dvd.

I Really appreciate the great SDK you've built,
and I am grateful for your time answering these questions.

Many thanks,

Ben Stuart.

1) Check for VIDEO_TS folder in the root and for VIDEO_TS.IFO inside VIDEO_TS folder. If both present - it's DVD-Video.

2) GetDVDProtectionSystem(...) API call does it. Did you look at the help/manuals/samples BTW? Always good idea to start from.

3) GrabTrack/TrackAtOnceFrom file does this. Please seach forum - this question has been asked here before quite a lot of times :)

4) I don't understand your question. What *exactly* do you have as source and what *exactly* you want to have as destination?

5) Give a try to www.shrinkto5.com project. They do what you want and they publish their source code.

:)

Thanks!

Need to have at least one disc with such a content to fix it and properly return OR-ed flags. Never seen any media protected with CSS + CPRM so far...

Dear Anton,

Thanks for answering my previous questions. You didn't understand question 4 though, so what I meant was:

I have a Video DVD as a source, and as a destination I would like the .vob files that are on that DVD grabbed to a folder on my hard disk.

Use AuthorizeDVD to disable CSS protection, copy VOBs to hard disk with system copy routines, find the CSS keys and decrypt the VOBs. Task is doable...
