i'll bet the Universe is going to end tonight too. ..Whilst I can't vouch for the coming of Armageddon i do know that DVDFab most certainly does work for this movie.

Ok here is the story...I tried ripping the Blades of Glory DVD region 1 with Ripit4me...the same program I always use. It kept giving me error messages 'cannot create a directory'. I tried using DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, Any DVD, and Nero. None of them could get all the way through the disc without read errors or cycle redundancy messages. I then tried Ripit4me again using the wizard mode instead of 1-click mode...no luck. WTF!!! Then I noticed that the title of the directory it was trying to create had < before the title and > after the title. It looked something like this:

C:\< BLADES_OF_GLORY >\

Of course!!! You can't create a folder with those symbols in the title. I deleted the < and the > and tried it again...success!!!
So, just use Ripit4me on 1-click mode, change the title, and when it opens DVD Shrink compress it like always. Any questions?

that method has worked perfectly since day one, I'm surprised this movie has caused such an uproar. I guess if you are unwilling to try different ways of doing things this is what happens.

wow thats simply amazing...so what all of you are saying is all they did was add the <> to the movie & it made it impossible to rip? if thats the case thats simply the most dynamic form of copy protection but yet the simplest protection i've ever seen.... correct me if im wrong plz.
