Mobidedrm - How the heck do you use it?? - Page 3

Somewhat hijacked but a search didn't turn this up...Am I the only one who is finding some of the de drmed files corrupted - ie. words/paragraphs and sometimes pages missing? I have been solving this by upgrading my .py script to the most recent and doing a scan of the document to check and for the most part this seems to be working but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something...

No problems like that here. I'm assuming you checked against the original to make sure it wasn't just a badly produced ebook, I've had that happen a few times.

Yes, I did load up the drm'd version on my Cybook and it was fine. And the difference is apparent when you compare the file converted by v.1 or v.2 of the .py vs. v.6 for example. It's not that it shows any errors in running the script, everything appears to run smoothly in terminal (running Mac OS) just that the book post script is missing stuff when you view it on Calibre or on the reader.

Might have been 5? I'm at work so no access to check what the file version was on my home computer. Suffice it to say it was a more recent version than 1 or 2 which is what I started with.

Yeah I got one called 5, but thought maybe sumthin else might be crawing around.

There is a version 6 of the script around that fixes some decoding problems similar to that described.

I checked, it was v6. Amended January 2009.

Yep. I guess there was a version this neophyte was unaware of.....got it now though thanks to a really nice guy.

Hmm, time to search for version 6 then!
