RipIt4Me
is a freeware DVD Movie tool for enabling you to backup your movie discs for the
kids, the road, or even to help allow you to rip the movies to your home
theater hard disc drive. I saw this latest version over at BetaNews and thought I would pass it on. It
seems like those that have tested it over there, really like this program a
lot!
 What's
new in this version?
- Added display of space saved during removal of
bogus VTS(s) and blanking of useless VTS(s)
- Improved code that detects the movie type, by
allowing a mismatch of 1 cell in multi-story DVDs (Puerto Vallarta
Squeeze R1) and fixed a small bug that could cause episodic DVDs to be
mis-identified
- The code that loads the IFOs now checks and fixes
the various tables's end address values
- In Movie+Menus mode, the DVD analysis is now done
*after* blanking rather than before. This is better because the analysis
now reflects what happens in the final DVD. This will make a difference
in those rare DVDs that have menus in the title domain
- Added option in the INI file to select which
function to use to copy the original IFOs.
- You can try to switch if you get an error message
"ERROR: video_ts.ifo declares X VTS, and I'm finding only Y on the
disc". UseMSFuncToCopyIFOs = 1 will use the Microsoft API. Set it 0 to
use a custom copy function that reads directly from the ISO file
sy
- Added code to always unlock the tray when aborting
DVD Decrypter
- BUP files that are abnormally large are now
excluded from the rip
- Improved the IFO patching code
Fixed a bug that
could cause RI4M to crash when loading empty IFOs
- Added more graceful failure when not enough memory
can be allocated during the analysis
- Fixed a potentially serious bug that could cause a
PGC to be flagged as unvisited, despite the fact that it was! This was
causing a wrong problem message in RV
- In the jump to menu routine, the SetSTN commands
are no longer inserted if the target menu is in the Video Manager domain

Don't worry about all that fancy tech speak in the
change log. This program is designed to take over where other freeware rippers
left off, that can no longer handle newer protections like RipGuard. But
according to the author, it's easy to use. Here's a description from the authors home page:
"With the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will be a very easy task.
The program is fully automated and the wizard will guide you through all the
necessary steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click" mode
that will perform all the involved steps automatically for you."
If this sounds like something you have been looking for, give it a try and
then let us know your thoughts! Maybe the best news of all, is that the download for
1.5.0.0 is only a mere 150k. Also, there is always the CD Freaks CopyDVD Movie
forum, if you ever need any tips or help!
