Thanks Rick for the information about DVD43. I've been using DVDShrink for a few years now and it is severly outdated. I'm gonna give this a try tonight!

DVD43 sits in the tray and decrypts for whatever program you are using to rip/compress...

Freeware use to be good, but it is not supported and Hollywood has been adding dozens of add-on copy protections (on top of CSS) in recent years. There is a great blog article: "Why Should I Pay for DVD Copy Software" at: http://bestdvdcopysoftware.wordpress.com . Also, all the best dvd copy software and dvd burning software is listed, reaked and reviewed at: http://www.dvdxcopy.com

You can try Cucusoft iPod Video Converter Suite to rip DVD movie and convert videos in any format to iPod. It is the fastest converter I have used. You can download this software free from here:

I tried to download Handbrake but got an error message that it wasn't a valid Win32 application. What am I doing wrong?
