[ISO -> READ]

And if that program works in that mode - which is does, cos it's a dandy - it is totally unnecessary in IB.

 

Anyway, it's ImgBurn NOT "ImgBurn 'n' IFOReadNonEncryptedDVDs"

My only thought is what about the future? Will reading on drives in the future stop working if the drive isn't properly supported by the old one?

 

Plus my need for a (albeit wonderful) piece of software that is no longer updated would be reduced it nil.

 

Still, I know it's not my decision (as that lies only with Lightning), but it would be nice.

[ISO -> READ]

Am I just wondering around out here in left field or doesn't creating a ISO from a original DVD mean that the program (IB) would half to to decrypt the disk in order to create the file. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like LUK would be wright back in the same sinking boat he just got out of.

If it is a DVD without CSS (ie any DVD produced from a home camera/DVD recorder/burned to a DVD-R/RW/+R/RW), or a commercial DVD without CSS, then nothing has to be decrypted to read/copy/extract from the DVD.

 

AFAIK, the legal issues had NOTHING to do with reading DVDs, but the actual decryption of the DVD (ie breaking CSS while reading the DVD), and if the program were limited to only DVDs without CSS (ie non-encrypted DVDs), then there would be no legal issues.

 

I personally use the IFO mode of the previous gen to read non-encrypted DVDs all the time, which is completely legal.

[ISO -> READ]

Haven't really posted before, but thought I would mention that I would really would find the read components (mostly IFO, but ISO would be handy to) without the decryption components really useful. That is nearly entirely what I use DVD Decrypter for anyways (with the commandline switches and some automated scripting), to pull videos from personally recorded DVDs, plus the burning of the final images.

 

Obviously it is up to Lightning, just wanted to mention my support for it (and this was the main reason I ventured in to the forum in the first place).

 

Just as an addition, it's nice at least seeing the burning function back as a separate program.
