Quote "After hearing all the talk about encryption/locking ect over the last week or so I thought I would go to the sorce so to speak an see for myself what the setup is. And I must say a fair bit I have heard is just not true or misrepresented (basted on what I have read myself) and seems to be so because a lot of people did not realise that content providers both free and paid for could and did lock there products from export."

Well, most of the stuff(97%) was created in Vue4 & was auto-locked by E-ON...the authors of older stuff didn't have an option available to lock stuff in Vue 4, it just was. BIG difference in the old versus the new. I have found the newer stuff(freebies) from TROC/Czarneyrobert(xmas only-that was created in V4P) is not locked, when the option was available.

That said, I've been lucky so far in contacting a couple vendors I've bought stuff in .vob format(Vue4) and they are willing to re-create it in an exportable format. So that's another option. I have found them to be kind & more than willing to accomodate.
