WELL, WELL ,WELL, Everyones talking about which cd writers will copy what, and the best copy software to use,

well imagine this,I bought the new celine dion cd the other day(well someone has to) and as usual I tried to make a copy for the car, guess what this cd cannot be read by any cd rom, I`ve got 5 in various systems and none will read this disc, is this the shape of things to come???

This should get people talking.

Any of you guy`s and gal`s out there got any ideas???:confused:

It's using one of the audio protections. Did you scan it with Clony XXl (http://insomnia.covers.de/)

If you look at the back of the cd cover it will probably say that it won't work in PC's or Mac's which indicates some sort of audio copy protection.

then you can't copy the cd on your own computer....for copying this cd you need to have a "special" computer that can read the cd and give a protection...

this is probably no use at all to you as i cant remember the name of the proggy!!
There is a prog somewhere out there and when ran will allow your pc to read these disks, i myself didnt use it as a side effect of this prog is that you will not be able to watch divx movies on your pc any more!
I think i got the original info from cdmedia world
adios!

there was a virtual driver that you could put in place of your cd rom's original driver that would allow you to read them, i believe :)

anyone go answers? have you tried disabling aut insert notification and then run clonyxxl or clonecd?

themis_t

07-04-2002, 12:27

hey,we are waiting for an answer here.....

What about inserting the cd (just to be sure: disable autorun or hold down shift while inserting the cd) and starting clonecd ?? Windows should not get to know about the inserted cd, cos it messes up everything.

Loading the virtual driver ( just an old cd-rom dll) and replacing the one you have with old should read the disc withour problems.
Do not remember which name it has but rad info and search in www.cdfreaks.com

In this place you should be able to find a link to the .dll and some instructions about proceeding...

Good luck!

HONESTLY, there is a .vxd file you can replace that will allow it to be read. www.cdfreaks.com (got the S this time) may have more info than we do, they are the psycho's

All "copy protections" sooner or later receive this stroke of fate.

themis_t

15-04-2002, 13:17

yes,but this is supposed to be a new and undefeatable...

i read in a psownz.forum that this was beaten by simply blacking out the outside track with a felt marker sony / audio corps were getting ripped for a protection supposidly costing 1.2 million and they have already shipped over 100,000 cd's with this its an extra track whick pc's mac;s cant get past but black out the extra track and hey presto copied a doddle............

This is the long method.

from the car unit, run a line in to the pc soundcard. use a prog to copy tracks to the hd (they are now avi.) burn them back to a blank. you now have a music cd with no copy protection.

i daresay these audio protects are nothing more than a nuisance, that anyone who feels like getting around, and invests any amount of time in doing so, will get around.

themis_t

02-06-2002, 12:38

yes...but knowledge is also required....

podunkviller

04-06-2002, 03:37

of course this works, i believe it's been posted several times. it could damage your original though.

I copied the Celine Dion OK with CloneCD (must be version 4.0.0.1 or later). This method works on some drives but not on others (my TEAC CD writer won't work, but my Samsung DVD drive does)

Do this:

Make sure that you disable autoplay and, using CloneCD's settings select 'lock drive'.

Now, open your CD-Rom drawer, put the CD in but DO NOT CLOSE THE DRAWER!

Select your copy option in CloneCD (Read To Image File or Copy CD) and following the prompts onscreen. It took the drive my drive about 30 seconfs to actually recognise the CD, but it copies perfectly.

Also, a nice side side effect of this is that if you leave CloneCD alone after the disk has been recognised, you can run other progs - like Exact Audio Copy - and they will read the disk as normal.

did YOU think of this or you found it somewhere?

igor666

15-06-2002, 15:54

Found it somewhere - don't ask where 'cos I can't remember - came across it while searching with Google- I think it was a CloneCD forum.

Would this method also work by using a line from an output on a receiver deck? I'm not sure I have a cord that will run from my drivveway up to the third floor of my house where my computers are...:D

gh0sth@cker

05-07-2002, 04:01

yea and that method lacks quality as you have to digital to analogue and back to digital. :(

05-07-2002, 12:39

What if my SoundBlaster 64 has a digital out headphone jack sized output? Would that work with a headphone jack to RCA cable?

By the way I REALLY don't like using retarded synonyms like "headphone jack sized plug" What is that actually plug called?
