^^^^That is correct. DVD43 should be used for movies that you cannot rip with conventional methods.
Argg, thanks for the compliment.
I am thinking that most of the conflicts (problems) come from people installing too much software like games, codecs, etc... Also, they may not take care of their PCs (defragging, virus scanning, etc...).
I have never tried DVD43, but I am assuming it is very similar to AnyDVD. Since you are using that program, you are wise to not install AnyDVD. They do not live well together.
I wonder, who make Arrested Development? Perhaps this one is a Ripguard movie as well. You can try to follow the guide I posted for backing it up, but I have yet to see a Ripguard movie. You can try Decrypter without DVD43 first. If a program can rip a movie without any help, then there is a better chance you will not get an error.
What happens to the menu anyways?? They usually do not put anything special on a menu. Is there a chance that this DVD was authored badly (low budget)? I copied a movie a while back and there wasn't a menu. I thought, "Wow, how stupid, no menu on an episodic DVD!!!", but it turns out that there was one, but the DVD was badly authored, so the commands were a bit screwed up.
