airtas Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Correct me If I am wrong but when I am trying to create a WMV or AVI or mp4 file I remove the check marks in subtitles but they still show up.....what am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Stupid question after reading this post. If it's illegal to make a copy for an ipod or PS3, or to place a copy on a media server and store the DVD away so it doesn't get wrecked, why even give the option to remove subtitles....languages, etc. If you don't know the answer to this question, why not just say so?

Simeon11 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Duplicating commercial DVDs or removing CSS protection may be illegal in Northern Ireland and the United States, however it isn't currently illegal in Canada, which is where I purchased and use my copy of Creator 2010. The principle is called "fair use", and has been a part of copyright law in most places for a very long time. It's quite useful when, like me, you have small children who beat the crap out of any DVDs they get their hands on. I don't buy the movie, but I do buy a license to view it, which doesn't cease to exist when my three year old drags the disk on the floor. I'm having the same problem as the original poster. When I open the options in the Roxio Video Copy and Convert application in Creator 2010, and deselect the subtitles, select "none" in the subtitles box, deselect "all" in the audio options box, or any combination of the foregoing, my selection doesn't "take" (ie. if I go back into the options after closing out of them, it reselects the subtitles and undoes any other changes I've made). The software then converts a version of the video file with subtitles which cannot be turned off when the video is replayed. I can see no way of changing the default selections. Any suggestions? Hi! I sent a post to this thread. I admired your wise point. But the whole post was deleted. Not only the necessary part. The person deleting did not reveal his thinking publicly nor his name. Shame on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be misunderstanding the Canadian rules. Read this; I see nowhere that you can make copies for your own use. We get this misunderstanding on this side of the border.

Jim_Hardin Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I have non-copyright material with subtitles - can you tell me how to remove those? I am sorry, but it is only illegal if you want to copy copyrighted material. Why put the option of removing subtitles only for it not to work? What are these "non-copyrighted" sources? I would sure be willing to try them out if you can point me in the right direction??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Dasher - then you do NOT have the 'same problem'. The other posters were referring to removing subtitles from COMMERCIAL discs It's always better to start a new thread, say exactly what you are doing and how - then we can take it from there with no confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Dasher Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 The only 'bug' is the LAW. It's illegal - unfortunately no software company can fix that Yopu are quite at liberty to try another authoring program if you want to spend the money on it - and then find out that it won't do it either for exactly the same reasons I have non-copyright material with subtitles - can you tell me how to remove those?

D-Dasher Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I have the same problem... I had no such issues with Roxio 2009. But 2009 won't work with Windows 7. I am guessing it is a bug and it will be fixed soon, if not, then it is the last time I will ever purchase a Roxio product. If the makers really wanted to prevent us from ripping commercial dvds, they might make it harder that just leaving the subtitles in. Why even give us the option of removing subtitles if the option doesn't work? Plus.... not all dvd's (training videos, personal videos) are copyrighted and thus we should have the ability to remove subtitles if they exist. This has to be a bug... and it must get fixed....soon I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, you are dead wrong. It is illegal in Canada to duplicate commercial DVD's. Fair Use does not apply to movie DVDs. Roxio is, or was, a Canada based software company. Perhaps, if you don't believe me, you can ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_Hardin Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 what exactly do the check marks in the sub boxes do though? They are Check Boxes… If checked, it is Enabled, un-checked, it is not. I posted one example here – Subtitles to give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_Hardin Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Because I can make a DVD that has languages, subtitles etc and I might want to delete them There are other Legal programs to convert Movies to play on your Computer or iPod. What allows them to work is that they install safeguards on your PC to prevent copying for anything but closely limited personal use. This is a DVD disc that came with my BD STAR TREK movie: But whatever I try leads to that warning message. Follow the rules and I can have a personal use 'copy'. Perhaps Roxio will add that ability sometime but the studios may not want to distribute too widely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpabruce Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 thanks for informing me guys, guess paying $30 dollars for a blu ray entitle you to nothing! Two of the ones that I have purchased, in the past few months, come with an extra disc that put in your drive. It is a free version that you can copy to your hard drive, or copy to your iPod, but you have to go through iTunes, to actually download to your computer. It is free, though.

gi7omy Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Only to watch the movie in your own house - you can't even bring it to a bar and let anyone else watch it Actually one of the cop shops over here was fined for playing a commercial CD for everybody to listen to. All you got were rights to watch it in your own home - nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpabruce Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I actually own the movie, it's illegal to copy your own movie for personal use if you bought it? Yes, it is.

gi7omy Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 You're still trying to copy a commercial, protected DVD - it doesn't matter what you're trying to convert it to, it's still illegal I'm not saying I particularly agree with the law, but it is the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
