Hi All;
I'm sad to find that all of the companies that set out to provide modified
copies of DVD movies with the token hollywood crap removed and the language
cleaned up have all been sued into oblivion by hollywood.
So, I'd like to to modify my own DVD's and watch the cleaned up copies.
However I'm totally oblivious to even the slightest details about this area of
computing (I'm a database guy). So, Im looking for suggestions per user
friendly oss tools to pull this off and possibly info/web sites that will
explain more about how to do this.
I think companies are allowed to do this now. The latest release from the
EFF I could find about it suggests says that a law was passed to specifically
make it clear that Clearplay could provide a way to do that.
There are still ongoing DMCA abuses making it harder.
