Some info needed on RipIt4Me

[Alloneword]

I'm having to use "RipIt4Me" for the first real time today as some of my DVD's are proving problematic for my version of DVD Decrypter I have found plenty of sites that give a what you might call standard tutorial but I'm looking for something more detailed that tells me pretty much what each option does not just tells me to press here and click there, if I'm being told this i need to know why and what impact it will have on my back up DVD, after all the back up is no good to me if menu of something goes t1ts up, plus once i have ripped it to my hard drive I'll then want to run it through DVD Rebuilder Pro and CCE.

I have not bothered with DVDFabDecrypter as i like the idea of "RipIt4Me" as it does not need any installing so if i can do a good job using just RipIt4Me then i'd like to do it that way

RipIt4Me is outdated. Development was halted over a year ago.
If you still want a guide, here ya go:
http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/Guides/alkohol_guide2.html
It's an old guide but it does give information about the program and how it works.
You may run into some DVD's that RipIt4Me cannot handle. For those you will need either AnyDVD or DVDFab.

Thanks for the reply dialysis1a, took an image of my drive and bite the bullet and gave DVDFab a try and it seems to be working a treat so many thanks for that, nice little app this one as well.

You may run into some DVD's that RipIt4Me cannot handle.

But much fewer than is commonly thought . . . unless you are dealing primarily with recent releases from the majors. For anything more than about a year and a half old, you're probably still in great shape. Equipped with one of those last-version PSL scripts, RI4M is still surprisingly capable.

Many of today's movies can be done with just DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink. RipIt4Me will tell you when DVD Shrink can handle them. It just every now and then the studio's like to throw in a zinger.

This is a good example of why I think you never want to have to rely on just one tool:
Fab Decrypter has been the go-to choice, ever since the others stopped being developed or updated. I just had a disc where FD choked on read errors, part-way into the ripping. It's not the first time this has happened. (I'm using version 4120, which is not the latest, but I have some doubts that really makes the difference here. And wasn't FD the one that was supposed to use brute force methods, and keep trying to get past disc problems, even if this took a lot longer ?) So, I fired up RI4M. Piece of cake ! I don't know yet if the results will turn out to be fubar, but so far so good.

Can you show the example of the recent DVD movie that the most recent version of the DVDFab HD Decrypter cannot rip but RipIt4Me can?

That is WAY before the latest version....
And yes... they update it for a reason

Can anyone show the name of the recent DVD movie that the most recent version of the DVDFab HD Decrypter cannot rip but RipIt4Me can or vice versa?

I think you should be saying is who cares....

I'm a RipIt4me hold out. I know it wasn't being updated and still used it. I finally got to the point of needing something else on a regular basis for verifying that it did or didn't work...No point of doing everything twice. I finally broke down and got anydvd as it meets my needs the most. I hated DVDFab Decrypter when it first came out..It would butcher a DVD and I hated fixing stuff it always broke. Now it's better but for me it still leave a bad taste in my mouth.

No, it was not that recent a movie (3 or 4 years old, I think). And if you read what I wrote, this was not about Copy Protections, recent or otherwise: it was about disc read errors -- due to scratches, or _____ (?).

Current FD version is like early 5-something ? But, not relevant here, I think. The fact that the much older RI4M succeeded -- easily, on the first try -- proves that.

When doing 'movie only' Ripit4me has yet to fail me on a rip... and that's true for hundreds of dvd backups.
It's the extras, bonus features, etc.. that create the difficulties.

Checking out the thread on RI4M and I too am bumfuzzled. Granted I am new to the process (ugh). What does it mean when DVD Shrink is saying it is not able to find the specified file path (sorry if elementary). I am choosing the files that RI4M made. Thanks!

Just ditch RipIt4Me and use DVDFabDecrypter(the free one).....then use DVDShrink.
