    I'm still trying to convince a friend of mine to come over from the dark side, and I think that once he saves a few dollars he's going to do so, but until then ....

    He's tried ripping DVDs using something called DVDDecrypter but hasn't been successful. Apparently it takes about six hours for one DVD, and then doesn't work!!

    After that, he's got to go through something he calls DVD shrink, which hasn't worked either.

    Until he actually comes over to us, any suggestions of PC software that he can use to rip movies from DVDs and then burn them onto single layer DVDs?

    There's a handbrake version for windows, but it doesn't do the newest copy protection. It's your one-stop shop for decryption, main title extraction, and encoding.

    FairUse Wizard is very similar to Handbrake, but it's not free. It takes about the same settings as Handbrake, but I have no familiarity with it beyond that.

    The Handbrake people recommend ripping the disc using something like MacTheRipper, then passing along the decrypted disc to Handbrake. I don't know of a dedicated ripper like MacTheRipper for Windows, though I'm sure they exist.

    I don't really do much dvd ripping but I can look for something that works.

    I found quite a list doing a web search and forwarded to him.

    However, seems the problem was Nero. Using something else, he's got a successful copy and burn.

    u can use a combo of DVDdecrypter and anything that will burn a DVD. DVDdecrypter is mostly just needed for decoding the dvd and getting past copy protection then it spits out all those VOB, and such, files like you would see if you look at a dvd as a drive.

    feel the power of the darkside
