Video Copy And Convert Freezes Computer

[Mark W]

Has anyone else seen this problem. I can reproduce this consistently.

 

1. Leave a Blue Ray Movie in your Blue Ray Rom Drive

2. Fire Update Video Copy and Convert

3. Computer Freezes and requires a reboot to return to normal

 

Pretty easy, eh?

 

If you leave a DVD Movie in the drive you get "copy protected material" and that's it....Blue Ray, you're rebooting hard (no three finger salute here).

Why don't you pull the video movie out of your Blue Ray drive, before you fire up Video Copy and Convert?

You can't copy a commercial disc - simple as that (it's also illegal)

[Mark W]

Yes, Yes, Yes, I know copying is illegal, and Roxio check for this and disallow's you to import from copy protected DVDs and BlueRays.

 

The problem is Roxio doesn't throw up an error message saying "copy protected material" like they did in EMC 10, they literally freeze your computer.

 

OMG. Should I remove them from the entire room too? Where do you draw the line. My kids watch DVDs on my computer all the time.

 

How do I know what they leave in the drive?

 

If I leave a DVD in the drive it comes back with "copy protected material". BlueRay, not even the BSOD.

 

What other software looks at what post-it-notes you have stuck to your monitor? I equate this to the same thing.

Actually, you can do whatever you want. Have a good one.

No I can't. I want to watch my son's games on my PS3 via my HP Media Vault, and save them on DVD so I can show them to my grand kids someday.

And exactly what does that have to do with the topic of this post? I don't think that any of us who help out here have a Bluray ROM or burner. Sorry we can't help with that, but I don't see how it could be that much trouble to check the drive before running Cineplayer.

 

You can start another thread if you like for additional issues.

[Mark W]

Sorry, read the entire post.

 

The previous post I believe accused me of doing something illegal and that really ticked me off.

 

EMC 2009 should not hang your computer when your kids leaves something in the drive.

 

You say "I don't see how it could be that much trouble to check the drive before...". Do you have kids? Do you write software? Have you ever had to deal with auditors and federal auditors at that? Better yet, have you ever had to deal with a QA department?

 

Everyone is in favor of covering our butts when it comes to copy protection, but some of the Guru's on this board seem to want to take things into their own hands. Imagine having to go to court because a software company decided to freeze computers without an error message and force a hard reboot because some kid left "Bambi's Magic Villiage" in the DVD drive. Hitting that reset button is a DANGEROUS thing.

You weren't accused of doing anything illegal - all that was said was that the copy and convert will NOT operate because to do so would be illegal.

 

Anyway - why leave media in the drive when you are going to copy and convert? I would put a blank in if I was going to burn anytrhing and, if anyone had left a disc in the drive, that would be immediately noticable
