What is executehooker.dll
The file executehooker.dll, known as Execute Hooker, belongs to software DVD Ghost by BlazeVideo. DVD Ghost is DVD copy software that has the ability to decrypt encoded discs and remove region codes. Region codes are special programming that manufacturers encode onto their discs. The encoded DVD disc will not play in DVD players that do not match the region code of the disc. The DVD Ghost removes or decrypts the region codes from the DVD disc, and copies the contents into the computer's hard drive for easy playback. DVD Ghost enables the user to play DVD discs in a DVD player even if the region codes do not match. The DVD decrypter bypasses the RPC-II region protection of DVD drives, removes UOPS (prohibited user operation) from DVDs, and bypasses the copy protection of the DVD drives without changing any parameters or the firmware. It can copy CSS-encrypted DVD movies and works well with popular DVD players and software for DVD burning.
