New Sony Copy Protection
 

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

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.

clone cd will work for u if the cd can be read by a pc cd rom...

I would use clone cd if the cd could be read, none of my cd roms will read this disc, any ideas???

regards

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!

amigos...

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?

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!

that is what i meant

so,is this all solved?

don;t know, the guy hasn;t replied

SONY CD COPY PROTECTION
 

Sorry for the delay responding, been away for a few days,
anyway back to the problem, this cd does not show up no matter what you do, it`s like there is no cd in the cd rom, tried everything, no luck, o`dear o`dear

sorry for not being able to give you a solution...

me to!

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

hope this helps....

Hi,
I believe you want cdfs.vxd for being able to audio files. You can find in the Cd/Dvd utilities page. :) Hope this helps!!!.

Thanks for that info and link!

can you please give the exact link(that takes me right to the lace where the file is held)

Download this file and place in Windows\System\Iosubsys folder.
Please note this shows files in win98 only.

Good luck.

Thanks all, I will try that, keep up the good work.

so,is this the end for the new and famous copy protection from sony?

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

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

audio copy no probs.......
 

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............

copying music cd's with protection!
 

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.

quicker to.....
 

quicker to use stero player with headphone or line out jact to pc line injack done quicker and no out in the cold.
i am gonna try to extract the cd using iso buster and sub the cd into phantom cd then extract as raw/track.
will report back........................spike

many ways of defeating the so called undefeatable.....:D

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.

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

well thats where we come in ;)

oh,yes....

I read the other day,the protection is on the outer rim,take a felt tip marker(water color)and mark the outer rim.....I hear this will work....eme at [email protected],let me know if it works.

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

yea, i posted a link to a news site about it. you should take care when attempting this

i think i also saw a foto on a link....
