DVDshrink is just convenient. DVDdycrypter sticks in the same place as Shrink when I have a problem. I do use DVDdecrypter to slow the read to 1x sometimes.

DVDshrink can't slow the read so it seem to have problems with the newer copy protection.
Oddly I use DVDdecrypter often when using shrink to make an iso from the rebuilder files it will auto burn. I find Decrypter one of the most reliable burners around. I can even burn 2 different movies to 2 different burners at the same time.

It seems we all have our formula's. For example I just used Shrink to rip an 8 plus gig concert so that I could remove the LPCM sound track (redundant) and reduce the file size. Tonight I'll run them through batch processing and tomorrow I'll burn them.

I have found that Decrypter will rip files that Shrink won't. I have also found that SmartRipper will do files that past versions of Decrypter had a problem with. I've yet to need SmartRipper with the latest release of Decrypter. When a problem did come up, I set Decrypter to 1x read which worked. (thanks 6402 for passing that on).

OK, here's another one, I use AnyDvd with Shrink and have yet to find one it couldn't do with the exception of Ned Kelly which nothing could do.

I've never found a problem that DVD Decrypter couldn't read at any speed.

It couldn't read Ned kelly at any speed. Doc, it seems there are different copies of ned kelly-some are OK, and some have file corruption in the vts_01_3 file. It plays but can't be copied.
Decrypter can of course copy all before and after, but not that one and it's right in the middle of the movie.
GO VOLS !

Yes! It handles ISO files beautifully, I've used it on a number of occasion.

Back in my VCD and DiVx days SmartRipper was the only ripper I used, I didn't even consider Decrypter an alternative. A truly sad day was when its author chose to stop its development.

Ned Kelly is protected with a hard read error on the disc. It was a real pain. I made a backup -- but I've forgotten what I did to make it work.

I'm happy to do it, but let's not forget your own contributions in comparing different software and spending many hours helping others. Really, it's a combination of all those things that (hopefully) allows others to get as much out of all our work as we've gotten from the people whose work we've benefited so much from.

Bigorange,
I did Ned kelly with DVDdecrypter at 1x and anydvd in the background. Some drives won't slow to 1x. My 1300 Necs won't read below 2x and can't read Ned kelly all the way through.
My 2500s work fine when set to 1x read.
Make sure you use the latest beta Anydvd. They have the actual setting for removing this protection. Ver 4.032 I think.

Thanks for the advice.
Dual layer discs are still $10 each, I'm not sure that they'll ever be mainstreamed. I think that they will continue to sit in the shadows until blu-ray or some other supersedeing equivalent will leave them behind.

Concerning Ned Kelly, I used AnyDVD 3.9.4.2 with Remake Pro, thus bypassing DVD Decrypter. This may shed some light on why I didn't have a problem.

Doc, even using remake,(i actually find it works better ripping to the HD 1st), the corrupted file is in the middle of the movie, not at the beginning like others with this method of stumping guys like us. So I'm not sure I'm seeing how it would help.
6402, actually I tried decrypter with that method,no go. I also run AnyDVD with shrink and find it helps it out also. In fact anydvd runs all the time on my PC, it comes on with the start up menu. I'm not sure about the version, I haven't DL'd the latest yet. But if they have a setting just for this kind of protection, i am very impressed. i will give it a try.
jdobbs, you write a wonderful program like rebuilder and you CAN"T remember how you backed up a movie? My illusions are shattered, a new book maybe-"jdobbs, the man behind the myth, lol. ;)

I usually don't go from the DVD-ROM into Remake because of the extra time it takes. I had time to spare on this one.

I've ordered the movie and it should be here in a few days. There were some other movies out there that also had a similar problem and I over came it by just getting different copy. Remember a lot of people had a problem with the Butterfly Effect. If a movie doesn't work then take it back and get one that does. I think these kinds of problems are caused by bad pressings that result in a defective disc.

Sophocles,
From what I understand, this is an intentional method designed to block guys like us who wish to back up their DVD's. Unfortunately not all the copies have it, some do and some don't. You may very well get a copy that doesn't.
That's a switch isn't it? You actually want a DVD that causes problems?lol
Also, the Butterfly Effect was a different matter. It's difficulty was not from encryption but one from the infinifilm feature which made it a nightmare in DRM. However there was no problem in ripping it. :)
