Hoping that someone can give some direction on my problem as I am a newbie on this.

I have tried DVD Decryptor, Smartripper, & DVD Decoder to rip the dvd to the hard drive but after a few minutes the ripper app stops and quits responding. Cannot kill the process in task mgr and cannot access the dvdrom until after a reboot.

All looks good up to the point where it locks up. I am running winxp and using adaptec aspi files. The dvd title is American Outlaws.

The only thing that I haven't tried (and I just thought of it) is playing the movie in a player before attempting the rip.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!!
