I am pretty new to this and my bro emailed me to programs ripit4me and dvddecrypter I am having a problem working these programs not dvd decrypter but ripit4me I am trying to rip a movie and the file size is 8.1gb dual layer i am trying to shrink it and also decrypt it and it goes through this whole process and the creates a file in my docs then i try and burn it to a disc using dvdv decrypter and it gives me a bunch of error messages and it doesn't creat a mds file so i can start to burn it on a disc i am new to this and I have no documentation on how to use the program any help would be appreciated. I don't have any problems with some dvd just when i use dvd decrypter alone if I have a dvd-rw disk that is 8.5gb and the movie is about the same size but i would like to be able to shrink it and burn the larger dual layer on 4.7 gb if i can any help wpold be thankful from a novice here thanks climbhigh512

Rip the dvd to the hdd using latest dvdfab decrypter.
Open the video_ts using dvd shrink and shrink it to 4.3gb
Burn using Imgburn.

I can't improve on Baldrick's post, but to add some info that might be useful to a newbie...

RipIt4Me and DVDDecrypter have not been updated for several years. The authors of both programs were given an offer they could not refuse that they could either stop working on the programs and turn over all code on them or they would face a potentially ruinous lawsuit. Given how 321 Studios was driven out of business despite their product actually preserving CSS and taking steps to prevent further copying, nobody wanted to take their chances in a US court, so they complied. Some newer DVDs cannot be decrypted with those programs, most notably a lot of stuff on Sony. DVDFab HD Decrypter is the best of the current rippers in my opinion and it does get updated because it's from a country far from the reach of the MPAA.
