1) what is the best way to backup a commercial DVD that is region 1, 2, 3

is it via decrpytor ( any free download)

2) do I have to combine it with SHrink ?? or can it survive just with Shrink for my purpose .

3) or do I need a PERFECT DVD Movie backup software to do this


4) can anybody enlighten how to crach the code for LG 4082 so that it can perpetually play region 1,2,3 ( not limited to 5 times )

I heard that flashing the drive maybe harmful to drive , can we use
the following software instead to watch all regions of DVD movie without hitting the 5 times limit ( or does Shrink suffice )

DVD Region-Free Lite 3.68 or DVD Region Killer 2.5.0.2



1) Can you guide me as to flash it ..


given that it is based on firmware A 204 , shd I download A204 DOS, or A204 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset)

should we flash the drive after we first buy the drive or only after teh drive is locked after 5 times ..

Both Work Great!

DVD Decrypter rips the files, and strips the Region barriers out. DVD Shrink will analyze, compress, encode, and burn the DVD with Nero 6 by default. :D
These two programs are freeware and work great together or apart. :lol:

www.dvdshrink.info for downloads and guides

flashing is not harmful, just don't inturupt it and make sure you restart and/or shutdown after you do it

Tks all

Mine is a brand new DVD writer .. LG 4082 .
I confirm that can we use SHRINK to watch & BACK UP all regions of DVD movie without hitting the 5 times limit that drive imposes .

a) I do not have to resort to flash the drive or use softwares DVD Region-Free Lite 3.68 or DVD Region Killer 2.5.0.2

2) Great to know that can just start off with shrink to do a back up copies of commericial DVD movies ( all regions) ....without having to get any software at the moment
