Phrasing IFOs Can rippers be prevented from doing this?

[levick]

Most rippers parse the IFO's when scanning a DVD does anyone know of a ripper or similar that can have this option
stopped? I wish to access only the IFO down to cell information I am interested in without be concerned about the rest
of the disc.

DVD Decrypter can rip individual cells.

Thanks lordsmurf, DVD Decrypter has been in my kit since day one however it has failed on more recent "corrupt" ifo files that are never
used on a DVD player...I recall one of our members saying Smartripper to have the same ability so tried this last night.
This great little app worked perfectly..so problem solved.

When Decrypter fails, I would also suggest VOB2MPG.
It's worth the 6 quid, which goes to the developer (and a VH member). Trial and free versions available, too.

That's worth adding to your kit.

Can VOBMEG be set to remove unwanted cells within a chapter.
