Question Hi Russell: I get CD audio books from the library before I travel and load them into my I-tunes so I can listen on the road with I-pod and on the laptop. I bought this Acer One net book along with an external DVD/CD writer because it's small and doesn't have the drive. Recently I got Alcohol 52% because I'd like to have a few movies. When I tried to make an image with the Alcohol of the first movie the copy protection wouldn't let it work. I played around with it (I'm not an expert) and it looked like it was loading but a bit at a time and it looked as though it would take hours. This is not a super fast unit but it copies much faster than that. Somethings wrong and I do not know what it is. Can I make a personal, one or two time use copy of a protected DVD movie ( a little quicker?) with Alcohol 52%? Thank you
Answer I would be happy to answer your question today. Alcohol 52% and Alcohol 120% is a good program for copying computer games and PS2 games that are protected by copyright protection, but not a good program for copying protected DVD movies. The best program out right now is called DVDFab Platinum. Here is the link where you can download and try the program before you buy. http://www.dvdfab.com/
I have been using this program for years and it can copy any DVD on the market. DVDFab is also updated almost every month, so if a new protection is discovered, it is easily bypassed.
Here are all the features you get with the DVDFab Platinum program.
