How to use DVD43 :
1. Run the setup file which installs the software and leaves an icon in your task bar. DVD43 will run in the background and decrypt movies on the fly.
2. When your DVD reader is empty or the movie inserted is not copy protected, you'll see a yellow smiley face.
3. When a copy protected DVD is detected, the yellow face will turn to a red devil face for a few seconds and then to a green happy face - which means it's ready to use.
4. Start your DVD copy software and copy the movie.
If you get errors using DVD43 :
1. Before you begin copying a DVD, close DVD43 by clicking on the smiley face in the task bar and select the 'Close' menu item.
2. Insert the movie you want to copy, play it using your software DVD player for about 1 minute, then close the software DVD player.
3. Start DVD43 (click the Start button, select 'All Programs' and select 'DVD43') and let DVD43 detect the movie and turn green.
4. Start your DVD copy software. If you still get an encrypted DVD error, reboot your computer - DVD43 is temperamental sometimes.
