Decrypt and copy a DVD to your PCs hard disk.

DVD Decrypter is a free tool which enables you decrypt and copy a DVD to your PC's hard disk. From there you can choose to watch them with the likes of PowerDVD and WinDVD or you can re-encode them to MPEG1 (VCD) or DivX. Advanced functionality can be found in the context menus.

What's New:

Added: Support for setting the read speed on AOpen 1648 DVDROM drives.
Changed: Creation of an MDS file is now only 'forced' when ripping to a FAT32 drive (like how it was in 3.5.2.0), rather than when also ripping a DL disc. A warning has been added to the 'Create MDS File' option in the settings instead.
Fixed: 'Layer Information' being shown in ISO Read mode when there was an empty DL disc in the drive - it shouldn't have been!
Fixed: Hang on some usb/firewire drives (enclosures).
Fixed: Error on some 'dummy' images mounted in DAEMON Tools - caused by non standard UDF file system.
Fixed: Start button still being enabled in File mode even when no files were found.
Fixed: Problem of the burn aborting if 'Lock Volume For Exclusive Access' failed silently with a 'known' error. People who experienced this problem should really just upgrade their IDE drivers.
