K3b won't copy encrypted DVD's

English Multimedia
#1

I used to be able to make back-up copies of my DVD movies. (using K3b)

I did it last just a few days ago, now it wont work. It tells me “failed to retrieve CSS keys”

I jumped the gun and installed another (Debian Based OS) and got the same results, now I re-installed OpenSuSE 11.1 and still have the same issue. Is something wrong with the CSS sources?

Is there something I can do to fix this?

libdvdcss is installed? Also use the k3b version from the Packman repo, the one which comes with openSUSE may be crippled due to legal reasons.

Thank you so much for your answer!

Kaffeine works GREAT!!! Plays all my DVD’s just great.

K3B will copy all other DVD’s if I want, but WILL NOT copy this one DVD because it can’t find the css keys.

Oh well!!! That is the way the cookie crumbles.

Once again; Thanks for your promt reply.

Maybe there’s a different/additional copy protection.
What Carl said, k9copy works fine.
