Comments on: RealNetworks launches software for saving DVDs to PC

RealDVD lets people turn their DVDs into a film library on their PCs--legally.

So it makes and ISO that can bypass copyprotection, nothing new except that you're charged $30 dollars for it. I would really like to hear how they think they can stop it from being shared online - with their own DRM perhaps, that will be cracked within weeks. I was under the impression you were legally allowed to back up all your disks anyway without paying extra for a tool that does it.

I hope that people see through all of this marketing ******** and don't buy it. Come on people you remember how bad RealPlayer sucks right. Why would you want to do this? If it it were my only two choices I would rather buy the movies then to pay for this RealShit (TM). I don't want more copy protection on my pc.

So what happened to just copying the Video_TS folder to your computer and watching the movie through VLC? Personally, I'd prefer to use VLC to play my videos rather than re-install RealPlayer (after uninstalling it every time it automatically installs with some other software package).

When I start up my computer am I going to have 10 real player services start a pop up and an updater? Wait wait is it going to have that underwater audio? Or MAYBE it'll just put shortcuts everywhere and be impossible to uninstall. Remember RealPlayer was the forerunner to modern spyware.
