I think it's nearly impossible nowadays that a CSS-protected disk cannot
be decrypted. CSS has been cracked for quite some time now and, after
all, turned out to be a joke anyway.

Derek might be right in assuming that the file says it's protected but
actually isn't - you found out that the message means there is no
protection, DVD Decrypter says the disc is protected.

Do the decrypted files play? You might want to enable "Force VOB CSS
flag removal" bottom left on the CSS settings page.

LOL, yes, dream on, Intervideo employee.

Thank God then that I never needed brute force cracking 'cause DVD
Decrypter never failed decrypting by simply doing an I/O key exchange...
