What happens when newer encryption comes out, now DVD Decrypter's gone?

[SG1]

I'm thinking I may have to invest in AnyDVD - are there no free alternatives out there?

Thanks for the link, but the thread didn't spit up any alternatives bar AnyDVD.

Try DVDFab Decrypter at http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
It is free and gets updated regularly. Unfortunately, it does not offer any options, but it does do the job of ripping the protected movie.

Aha... thank you very much - when you say it has no options, what exactly do you mean? I can sort the movie out itself using DVD Shrink or Clone DVD, is that what you meant?

That 'Free DVD', do you know what that is for?

Yes it did. If you had read it you might have noticed:

Good news, a free DVDFab Express ripper is available (see cdfreaks news).
Not as good as DVDDecrypter, but it can help...

http://www.dvdidle.com/fr/free.htm

And this:

Smartripper is out od date. Nothing has been done with it since 2001.

DVDD in it's current state is still better than most rippers around even if it is not updated anymore.

I use VobBlanker to process a DVD with ArcoSS. I use AnyDVD or DVD43free to make VB read the DVD.

And if you had tried searching you might have found this thread:

Thank you, I didn't spot those - which pages were they on?

Thanks again - I wouldn't have had a clue what term to search for.
