That just depends... Decrypter can also process DVDs with multiangles and retain only a selected one. Decrypter has a broad variety of abilities, the versatility is one of the main reasons I like it.
IMHO when LUK did the last update he knew that time was growing short for the program and packed as much as possible in it. He made a program that integrates well with AnyDVD and this is what will sustain it. Even now I am amazed at what it can do. I keep hoping he will reincarnate himself as someone else in the future and we will see the program come back. I know I am dreaming, it just that it is so good.

Many of those features have been there for a while. But anyone with a decrypter knew Big Brother was going to be breathing down their neck, the MCA sort of insured that, along with some bad court interpretations on fair use. Too bad he wasn't clairvoyant. A new encryption system could cause problems without updates. But as we've noted, there's more there than a decryptter.
Island Thunder is safe for now on Antigua. I don't think France cares very much, that's where VSO hangs their hat. But then, they aren't as big a player as DVD Decrypter in getting backups of DVD movies done. There's been a proliferation of DVD recording apps, but the ranks of good decryption software is small and just lost a major player, even if it was freeware. For now only the support is dead, DVDD is still the king of rippers. DVD Decrypter will be with us for some time as it will take a while for a decent replacement to come along; but for those wanting only a good decrypter, when newer encryptions come along, that will end a lot of the usefulness for those.
