movie, well a possible solution could be to RIP the DVD to your hard disk or to a CD. Technically it is possible to squeeze your DVD contents to a CD or to your hard disk in various audio/video formats. The process involves two steps i.)Decoding the data files on the DVD and storing it on your hard disk, to do this you require a DVD decrypter. Free DVD decrypters are easily available on the internet, we recommend this one (can be downloaded for free) ii.)Encoding or copying the data back to a CD by compressing it using codecs like MPEG or DivX. Our recommendation is auto gordian knot also known as AutoGK (can be downloaded for free).
