I`m going to buy a HP9100 CD-RW next week, so i wanted to make sure that i have everything right in place for installing it on my Windows 2000 box. Note: this special offer may not include all of the software which is bundled, so please don´t answer like "It´s all in the box". Which software and which driver (ASPI?) do i need? Thanks! Benjamin

Hi all. I´m running my Aopen 10x/40x (tray) DVD with Windows 2000 Pro. recently, I applied a region-free patch to move my drive from Region2-only to, well region-free. Everything worked smooth, DVD-playback is the same as before. Ok, now, here comes my problem: I´ve been trying to rip my DVDs to my HD using DeCSS, but it fails with this error code: "Error getting disk key Title might not be encrypted! File transfer completed" Now, DeCSS ships with a special Aspi Layer for Windows 2000, so it´s supposed to work, right? I´ve tried several versions of WnASpi, no chance... Could my problem be related to the region-free crack? (I didn´t try DeCSS before the crack, unfortunately) Any input appreciated. Thanks.

kasnitch, thank you for your reply. I´m aware that DeCSS is a piracy-tool. BUT: as long as I´m just playing around with... I read the Betanews-article about DivX last week and I was just curious how the quality of these movies were... so, I´m just playing around with it for educational purposes. FYI, I don´t like piracy at all. Anyway, let´s forget about it and carry on. Best regards.
