Changelogs for DVD Decrypter

Current version: v3.5.4.0

Changelog for v3.5.4.0

  • Added: Support for setting the read speed on AOpen 1648 DVDROM drives.
  • Changed: Creation of an MDS file is now only 'forced' when ripping to a FAT32 drive (like how it was in 3.5.2.0), rather than when also ripping a DL disc. A warning has been added to the 'Create MDS File' option in the settings instead.
  • Fixed: 'Layer Information' being shown in ISO Read mode when there was an empty DL disc in the drive - it shouldn't have been!
  • Fixed: Hang on some usb/firewire drives (enclosures).
  • Fixed: Error on some 'dummy' images mounted in DAEMON Tools - caused by non standard UDF file system.
  • Fixed: Start button still being enabled in File mode even when no files were found.
  • Fixed: Problem of the burn aborting if 'Lock Volume For Exclusive Access' failed silently with a 'known' error. People who experienced this problem should really just upgrade their IDE drivers.

  • Added: 'Implementation Identifier' to tooltip when you hover over the volume label in the 'Source' box
  • Added: Workaround for drives connected via firewire that don’t support the real time streaming commands ('get performance' and 'set streaming' - these get / set the read / write speed)

  • Changed: Tweaked Plextor bitsetting code
  • Changed: Program update code now looks for an internet connection before attempting to open a connection to the update servers
  • Changed: Program update code now looks for and attempts to use the IE proxy settings before then attempting a direct connection to the update servers

  • Changed: Now issuing 3 different 'Set write speed' commands, using slightly different values for each
  • Changed: Loading ISO images when an MDS file exists no longer causes the program to tell the user to load the MDS file if the image is < 4,700,000,000 bytes in size

  • Changed: Entries in the list box in File mode are now sorted by VTS set, with IFO first within a set, then VOB then BUP
  • Changed: Installer now checks to see if DVDDecrypter.exe is running before attempting the installation
  • Changed: Default sectors to search for CSS in Brute Force mode is now 500

  • Fixed: Windows 'please reinsert the disc' message once the disc has been ejected and before the 'Operation Successfully Completed!' sound/message

  • Fixed: Problem with using 'cut' on log entries
  • Fixed: Switching to the LiteOn tab in the booktype setting dialog issued commands that weren't used / needed
  • Fixed: Potential problem where some drives would show 'Unknown' for 'Current Profile' due to some error catching code that caught errors that weren't really there
  • Fixed: Workaround for Change volume label 'hang' on Nero UDF and UDF/ISO data images that don't have a 'Terminating Descriptor' after the 'File Set Descriptor'
  • Fixed: Made sure you can't switch program modes while another switch is taking place - this was possible before (if you had mega quick fingers) and crashed the program
  • Fixed: NEC temporary bitsetting wasn't allowed unless another program had already set it for that media type
  • Fixed: Devices drop down list staying disabled if user experiences 'Device Wouldn't Open!' error message

  • Fixed: A minor issue where under certain circumstances, selecting 'Rename' in the 'file already exists' dialog box wouldn't create the 'destination file has been renamed to xxxx' entry in the log
  • Fixed: A bug (but not really a bug as the code didn't exist before!) with some drives that show blank media as having a status of 'Incomplete' instead of 'Empty' but then had a session status of 'blank' - this IS allowed, but very rare - hence why I'd not
  • Fixed: Strange 'jumping' when the log window is resized using the top bar

  • Fixed: A problem with 0 byte files and Start LBA addresses of 0 messing things up in ISO Read mode

  • Fixed: A bug in the function called by specifying '/chapters' as a CLI option
  • Fixed: Bug in volume label changing code (UDF filesystem) that would mean a longer name would get truncated by windows when displayed in 'My Computer' etc

  • Changed: Behaviour of 'Browse' dialog for ISO Write source files
  • Changed: volume label change code to support split image where the backup volume descriptor is at the end of the disc
