Unable to Read Dvd

Post by michelino90 »

Hi, ive recently downloaded the new version of handbrake and i have been trying to rip the Fullmetal Alchemist movie but the DVD data wont show me any information of which DVD title to input and every time i try to save the file into a folder, an error appears about ActiveX. What should i do?

thank you

michelino90 - The windows port of handbrake does not decrypt DVD's. You need a bit of software such as AnyDVD or DVD43 to decrypt the DVD on the fly. Alternativly you can rip a DVD to hard disk in ISO form using DVD Decryptor, DVD Shrink etc

Tools Menu > View DVD Data

Select all the text, copy it using ctrl-c then paste here.

Looks like DVD43 is not getting past the encryption.

You can always try AnyDVD.
