DVD Decrypter works a lot better when used via RipIt4Me.  RipIt4Me was subject to a DMCA threat and it's development stopped back in April 2007.

However, it's still available at VideoHelp, MajorGeek and other places.

It will allow you to jump straight to the menu, bypass/remove unreferenced video (*cough* protection *cough*), any annoying BVOPs, etc, etc.





Still the only thing I use to rip DVDs.

+1 for RipIt4Me

it requires both DVD Decrypter AND DVD shrink, but it greatly streamlines the ripping process

there's another little tool that's required but I can't remember the title off the top of my head (Fix VTS?)

Yes, and I think ImgBurn - it's listed in the ini - might be optional.

If I remember rightly (and most here probably already know) ImgBurn is an option in DVD shrink (you can write straight to disc)

There are so many different ways out there to do this, but as of late I have had the most success with DVD Ripper.
