What software

[gav223]

Hi guys, I haven't backed up any of my dvds for about a year now. I used to use decrypter and shrink for every step, but then when decrypter was taken away I stopped. I have now got many more dvd's that need backing up. I would like to know if there is any new software out there.
Cheers.

RipIt4Me is quite good, and can handle the latest protections. Good luck.

[EDIT] BTW, DVDDecrypter isn't dead, RipIt4Me uses it, in conjunction with a PSL (Protected Sectors List). It Also uses FixVTS to ensure a correct, playable structure. Very clever program.

Cheers fritzi93, i've just downloaded ripit4me, but it says it needs dvd decrypter. How can I carry on.

Click on DVD decrypter in your post and you will be taken to the Tools page for it. Click on the Mirror Download link and you will find a site where you can get the last version.

From what I've been reading, DVDFab Decrypter (not the same thing as the DVD-Decrypter people have been discussing here) can also tackle just about anything. I have used it to read home-made discs that were badly scratched (it is a decent data-recovery tool as well as a ripper) but I have not tried backing up commercial discs. Like Ripit4me, it is free, but it does not depend on external utilities, and is "one-click" from disc to hard drive, though you'll need an external compression program if you want to shrink your DVDs to fit onto DVD-5s.
