Protected DVD-R!!!!!! Can't rip vob/ifo files!!!!

Come on guys, anyone got any ideas?Had a reply from my so called m8 earlier, he stated catergorically:----"
like i said yes it is and if u try to copy it it will FLASH YOUR MOTHER BOARD BIOS AND YOUR CD WRITER ".

These are the files that i can see on the dvd-r.Every ripper (and in file mode with smart ripper) has failed me almost as soon as i try to rip.My Pioneer dvd in the pc makes funny noises as well.It has been working fine up until i tried to rip this disc.

Chris,

Try copying the files one at a time (yes, just an actual copy). Tell me which one is causing the problems.
