Page 1 of LITEON DDA100X

:( can any body help

i used to copy DVD movies (all types even latest ones which are protected) on to a VHS cassette on the VHS player from my JVC DVD player with a simple scart connection.

i swapped the VHS player for a liteon DDA100X thinking it would do the same thing,-as its my JVC which is able to take off any protection on the original DVD movie,

sadly this is not the case. when i tried to use the liteon DDA100X it shows a message for protected content (not allowing me to copy the DVD)

is there any way around this? can any one help
thanks

the only way i know of is to copy them on your PC using software like Anydvd + CloneDVD (dvdshrink,dvddecrypter + ripit4me will also do it) . AnyDVD will get rid of the copy protection and makes it region free.


here`s a region free hack for your unit

1. Enter set up on remote
2. Scroll down and highlight `exit`
3. While exit is highlighted enter 2,9,6,0
4. Press enter
5. A hidden menu pops up and you can select any region or "Region Free" option.
6. For exit press "Setup" button again.

thank you very much. i already found that region code hack( posted by cbeveridge) from a different forum. but thanks any way, appreciate it.

regarding your method of "the only way i know of is to copy them on your PC using software like Anydvd + CloneDVD (dvdshrink,dvddecrypter + ripit4me will also do it) . AnyDVD will get rid of the copy protection and makes it region free." i take it this has nothing to do with my stand alone liteon unit (ie i wont need to use it) please help im a bit confused.

also i have downloaded a liteon smart firmware hack 1.5b and a liteon firmware thanx to mr wizard. ( the auther. thanks) this shuld take off the macrovision protection off original dvd`s.

does anybody know if there are any problems with this method which could damage the liteon stand alone unit. i just want to make sure before i try it as i am a beginner

also does it not matter, to carry out this method on a allready region free unit (i did the region hack on it yesterday)

please help.

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WHERE DID YOU GET FIRMWARE AND HACK FROM.

THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

hi sorry for the late response.

i got the latest firmware from liteon website.
and the hack from http://ilohacker.tripod.com/

i havent yet tried it yet. i am looking for the firmware from liteon again (i deleted it after i copyed the hack on cd)

i cant find the original firmware from liteon (i want to try that first, my unit has got some sort of problem, the recorded dvds keep on skipping) i think there is a problem with there website.

NOTE i havent tried the hack yet.

good luck

does anybody know where i can get the lite on firmware update from (DDA100X)
can anybody let me know if its my browser (doubt it) or ther website.

thanx
