DVD/Margi Problems

Subject: DVD/Margi Problems

I've just got a new Margi DVD-to-Go card to go with my Freecom Traveller DVD-ROM
for my L100. Initially, I couldn't get any sound out, but installing L110
drivers fixed this.
(I assume L100 and L110 use the same sound hardware). Video play was perfect,
though
the sound was fairly poor quality. Anyway I wanted to try player software that
was more
fully featured. First I tried PowerDVD, but I couldn't get it to recognise the
Margi code
so it tried to do software decoding. Next I tried WinDVD. Again it wouldn't
recognise the
Margi card. However shortly after starting it, WinDVD crashed. After a reboot
windows
started acting strangely with 1-2s freezes every 10-15s. I uninstalled WinDVD
(leaving
the shared DLLs in place, but foolishly not making a note of what they are). Now
windows
recognises the PCMCIA card (in the card app in the icon tray), but the DVD-ROM
doesn't
show up in Explorer. The original (working) Margi player software now hangs the
machine.
I've tried reinstalling the DVD-ROM drivers with no luck. I assume WinDVD
modified
some Windows CD/DVD-ROM drivers and that's screwing up my system. Has anyone
else had this problem? Any advice about cleaning WinDVD out of my system?
Does anyone know what junk WinDVD has left behind on my hard drive (especially
those shared files I kept). The windows 98 (1st edition) tool that restores
system files
thinks that just about all the windows files have changed since the initial
install, so
that's not much help without knowing what files to restore. Any ideas? Please? I
really
don't want to do a full Windows reinstallation (I just did that about a month
ago and it
took me ages to get everything working OK).

I get digest postings and I'm going away for a few days (wanted to take my L100
to
watch a few films), so if anyone has any advice or answers to they please send
mail
to me personnaly as well as the list.

Cheers,
Phil Spencer.

I recently purchased a used 110 without any peripherals. To boot from floppy
do you have to use a standard PCMCIA floppy in one of the slots or will the
BIOS accept something like a LS-120 drive, or a USB floppy plugged into a
PCMCIA - USB adapter?

 Yes, DMCA is bad.  However, there is a difference in terms of the
 Copy Protection.  You can't burn a duplicate disk that easily, since the
 stuff available on the market is DVD-R General.  You'd need the DVD-R
 Video disk to be recognized as one that the CSS descrambler should be used
 on.  Ideally, you're right.  Realistically, it's the same issue that early
 generation CD players had with CD-R's, where you have to pay an absurd
 amount extra per disk to play it anywhere (and not really anywhere,
 either, since many recent devices aren't CD-R capable, such as single
 laser DVD players)
 And it *is* copy protection.  It's been taken to a sickening
 extreme, but it's copy protection.  Good luck using the media that you
 paid for, right?  Without backup capabilities, we're kinda stuck at the
 moment.  That said, I'll be ripping my DVDs to DivX over time, and backing
 that up on hard disk, CD-R, and tape.

NO, IT IS NOT COPY PROTECTION If is were, then you would have NO
trouble copying a non-encrypted DVD to a DVD-R (and playing it back). I
don't know that much about DVD-R, but the issues you mention have
nothing to do with the encryption!!! The encryption is NOT processed in
the DVD-ROM player, thus you could potentially make a DVD disk that is
an exact copy of the encrypted disk (whether a drive or medium exists to
make this copy on I don't know enough to say, but I know that it is
possible to read the encrypted files off the DVD-ROM in the encrypted
format). I also understand that it is possible to playback the encrypted
files, copied from the DVD-ROM, on the HD. What if someone (and I am not
advocating this) sent those encrypted files to someone else (OK, it
might take some time, but as bandwidth increases this will be less and
less of an issue). That person could also play those files from their PC
(with the appropriate DVD software or hardware). Where is the copy
protection??? Copy protection would involve doing something that would
make it impossible (well difficult) to create a duplicate of the
original DVD disk (similar to the way this has been done with protected
software in the past). Encryption has NOTHING to do with this! It does
affect your ability to edit the DVD material - which is a different
issue.

PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! This and DMCA is all a PLOY by the movie industry to
allow them to do PRICE FIXING. Most other businesses (MS included) would
find themselves in court for this. Why is the movie industry able to do
this kind of PRICE FIXING and not find themselves in court (well
actually, this is, in some regards, in court in that the
constitutionality of DMCA is being challenged)???

Also, consider this:  Even the PC players were not *meant* to
allow what we've been discussing.  Just because it's been bypassed doesn't
mean it's suddenly legal.  Now, I'm not going to say that the law is
right, because that's another issue altogether.

I never said it wasn't about price fixing.  However, that's not
the only issue.  It's also about copy protection.  I still don't see
anyone making copies of these movies that we can play in a DVD player with
the same quality video and 5.1 channel audio.  VCDs don't match that, and
affordable DVD copying hardware simply doesn't exist.
The very nature of CSS was to protect the data from being copied.
So they blundered.  It doesn't stop their initial intent.  Macrovision was
added to ensure that the stream couldn't be dumped to VHS.  That too can
probably be bypassed.  Again, not their fault.  CSS was *intended* to be
hard to break, if not impossible.  It failed.  That doesn't make it open
season on DVDs without any legal repercussions.  Granted, the DMCA
protects the poorly devised protection schemes in a somewhat insidious
way, but that's besides the point.  We all know it's a bad law.
Now, if you want to talk about price fixing on DVDs, why don't you
mention region coding?  *That's* the part of DVD technology that enables
price fixing so readily.  It might be a part of CSS, but it's not all of
it.  If it were only about region coding, then why encrypt it?  

 PLEASE SEE:
 
 http://www.digital-digest.com/nickyguides/piracy-info.htm

More information provided to make all of this seem ok.  It's
not.  If you want to make a difference, we have to handle this from the
legal aspect, not by shattering the industry and flooding the 'net with
DivX copies of every film known to man.  Once the DMCA is repealed (which
will have to happen,) we'll have a lot more breathing room.

That said, I think we've strayed too much from the topic of the

I used that to illustrate the point I was trying to make. That one could
also copy the encrypted data files on a DVD-ROM just as easily (not that
I am advocating this). You do not have to decrypt the files to copy
them!

 It *is* impossible to create a duplicate disc without special
 hardware and media.  It simply won't descramble on a home deck if you use
 a DVD-General disc.

The fact that it might be costly to get hardware and media (at least for
now) that will do this, does not change the fact that it can be done.
Your argument is simply saying that the media is the copy protection,
not the encryption. If the media and recorders become reasonably priced
(as happened with CD-R), you will quickly see how meaningless your
argument is. I am sure that the MPAA knows this and that is why they are
doing everything they can to paint a false claim that this is copy
protection. Sorry, the facts just don't support this claim.

Once copied, the DVD player is quite happy to do the decryption for you
when it plays back the copy. So where is the copy protection? Answer:
the encryption does not offer any! Think about this. The encryption
offers some access protection (for price fixing and distribution control
by MPAA, etc. ...) but it offers NO copy protection. The MPAA is just
trying to sell you and everyone else on this so that they can justify
it's (CSS) existence and the need for a law to protect CSS (and thus use
it for price fixing).

As I original said, I am not trying to do anything illegal. It is not
illegal to copy, for personal use, the encrypted files from the DVD-ROM
disk, that I own, to my HD. I am not decrypting them, the DVD player
will do this when it plays back the video. I am just trying to find out
what (legal) hardware and/or software is available (if any) to do this
so that I can play back the HD copy of the DVD on my Libretto 100CT. It
really should not be that complicated and sorry for getting off topic. I
really would like to do this. Just trying to find out how - legally.

On the same thread of backup devices (also discussed a year or two ago in this

1. Flash memory cards. Solid state, no moving parts, more durable.
Also, works with your digicam as a plus.  Coupled with a Zio! reader, you can
take it anywhere easily.
2. Keychain flash memory.  Think above combined together into a very small
thing you can hang off a keychain.  www.tigerdirect.com
3. Type II/III HDs. easily gets you 1/2GB of storage, and holds far more than
most other storage devices at the max (2GB).
4. IBM Microdrive.  Think Pocket ZIP upgraded to a tiny quarter-sized HD (P.ZIP
is a tiny floppy drive). 1GB easily in the size of a matchbook.

Belkin makes a Cardbus to USB adapter that seems to work fairly well, and
doesn't need an auxillary power supply cable like some others do.

However, you will need an actual Toshiba (YE-Data) floppy drive to boot your
Libretto from a floppy.  There are no substitutes that I know of.  The
floppy is designed with proprietary features outside of the PCMCIA spec to
allow for this to happen without additional drivers or software.

Evening Tanya,

I have many boot floppies, but I'm worrying if Libretto can boot from
its PCMCIA floppy? When I boot it from hard drive and select command
prompt only, seems that it doesn't see a floppy drive. Is that
normal?... In Windows, floppy drive is available.

Can you boot from one of these floppies? If not you will need to go into 
Control panel in Windows and setup so the Libretto boots to A: first. 
There should be a Toshiba System icon; if not you can download from 
Toshiba Website.

Wanted - L50 memory (was Wanted - L50 screen frame parts)

2001-05-18 Thread Keith

Subject: Wanted - L50  memory (was Wanted - L50 screen frame parts)

Evening neil,

I'm about to purchase (I hope!) a 'dead screen' 50 to mate with my 'dead 
mobo' 50...so I should have some spare bits left over with any luck (I don't 
know the condition of the case yet!)

If you have a 16MB memory module over, I'd be interested as my Libretto 
runs a tad slow with only 16MB :-(

TIA - Keith

Evening Paul,

Interestingly enough, mine works the other way around.  The floppy works in
DOS mode but not under Windows 98SE !!!

Any ideas, cheers

Do you have the Toshiba System icon in control panel?; if not you can download
from
Toshiba Website.

Hope that helps - Keith

Subject: PCMCIA(32 bit CardBus) to USB adapter?

 Can anyone recommend a PCMCIA-USB Adapter ?

Look for ones that do not need power from sources other than PCMCIA slot.
I use one from Union-Bros, sold in Japan.

 As I original said, I am not trying to do anything illegal.

But who cares? Personally I would like to watch only illegal movies
downloaded from internet thus boycotting producers. I feel personally
offended by those companies as they splitted the world. Now Russia is in the
zone 5 along with Africa while I am living in zone 2. For some reasons there
are no Russian films in Paris. Am I supposed to buy two players? MRIAA are
just bunch of greedy persons ancapable to see more than its nose.

Unfortunately, neither Divx offer quality I want nor the number of films I
see per month would justify paying broadband access.

This is my point of view. It may be different from your's. I know your
arguments and I understand them. I do understand that artists need support
but you have also agree that customers should not be viewed as shit.

Cheers,
Alexandre
