DVD43 is a free DVD decrypter that runs in the background and decrypts DVDs on the fly. It will decrypt (unlock) a movie DVD so that your copy program can read it. It is a pure decrypter, it does not alter the image of the original DVD and will not remove copy protection (other than CSS encryption) added to the DVD. If the DVD structure is non standard or the DVD contains bad sectors, your copy program needs to take care of that.

    I had similar probs to other reviewers/discussions, with computer lock-ups. I run XP and used Nero Showtime to copy a dvd. Dvd43 dealt with copy protection and Nero copied an image successfully but then locked up about halfway through the burn process. I tried this several times with the same results.
    I then repeated the process, but this time I uninstalled Dvd43 (using Revo Uninstaller) after Nero had copied an image but BEFORE Nero burnt the blank dvd - and this worked. This may indicate Dvd43 is somehow interfering with Nero's burn process. It just means installing/uninstalling Dvd43 each time I want to copy a dvd, strictly for back-up purposes of course.

    I've used DVD43 for several yeras, first with WindowsXP then with Vista, and I've had virtually nothing but success with it. Now I have just upgraded the OS to Windows7, and see that DVD43 does not work on a 64-bit system. Any idea when it will, or what other program would be a good substitute for it until it can be run on a 64-bit system?

    The latest DVD43 ver 4.60 is the worst upgrade of all previous versions because it couldn't decode any of the current movies that I purchased for backup. Even DVD Decrypter, which didn't work in the past, was able to decode current movies. Something must be terribly wrong with the new version, i.e. something must have been left out because it couldn't get past 8%. I hope the developers would seriously look into this problem before loyal supporters like me migrate to other software developers on the market. Thanks.

    During Boot I receive the message that DVD43 is not installed properly. Please reinstall. I did and I keep getting the same message. The tray icon is gray. I moved from a P4 to i7-920 on Asus P6T MB running Windows XP Home (32 bit). I read the DVD43 help where it says that it doesn't work with 64 bit s/w but does that mean it won't work with new MBs or what?
    Point me in the right direction PLEASE.

    A fine piece of software!
    Is there a version for Linux?
    I like to have this in my NMT (PCH), this is much less hassle than anyDVD!

    I was told that if you run it in compatability mode that it would work fine with Vista. I haven't tried it yet because I am waiting for my new machine with Vista on it.

    Anyone tried this

    Thanks for the program. It's helped me a lot in setting up my media server. However, the last two new releases I purchased locked up my computer during a copy transfer to my hard drive. I tried your program on an XP machine and a Vista 32 machine and it locks up on both. The DVDs play fine normally. In all cases I show the green smiley face. Is this something new in the newer releases?

    Thx.

    I keep getting this error message: DVD43 "The driver is inactive or not installed properly. please reinstall DVD43 to enable dvd driver". I have uninstalled and reinstalled but keep getting the same error. I have Vista 32 bit and have used DVD 43 for years and just now having this problem. Any advice on how to fix it would be great!

    I recently had to reinstall Windows XP. I have used DVD43 in the past without incident so I downloaded version 4.40. This morning when I turned on my PC I got a message stating " a serious error had occurred" and the source was caused by DVD43's DVD43LLH.SYS file. I rebooted and everything appears to be o.k. for the moment. Has anyone else had this error message? How concerned should I be? Do the DVD43 folks have a comment or fix? I would appreciate any info. Thanks

    Have just downloaded DVD FAB 5 and used the Platinum version (free for 30 days). Worked beautifully on my Vista 64 bit system. I would have preferred DVD 43, but not available in a 64 bit version.
    I will have to pay in 30 days for FAB 5 Platinum, but it's worth it. Too bad that DVD43 wouldn't develop a Vista 64 bit version.

    I have a question!
    I used dvd43 for a long time now and it works perfectly!
    But now I have a Sony laptop which has a Mashusita DVD drive and here it does not work.
    The regular balloons come up saying that everything is okay but then the drive says it can not play the DVD due to region incompatability!
    Cab anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Bert

    Will DVD43 be revised to run on Vista (64 bit) anytime soon?

    Thanks
