First, make sure you DVD drive isn't broken.  Maybe play a DVD you know has worked before.\n\nDVD decoding in a computer is a software based issue.  For example, depending on the program you are using it maybe not be able to/updated to decode the DVD properly.  Often you can purchase a plug-in DVD decoder (Sonic makes one, there are a few other) for $5-$30 dollars.

You can use http://www.dvd-cloner.com or http://www.download-it-free.com/dvdshrink/\n\nThey are both good tools, but I have the registration code for the cloner.

If you have a dvd rom in the machine, you need only one piece of software: DVDFab Decrypter v2.9.6.6

VCD Cutter does this & it's quite cheap as well.\nIntervideo DVD Player does this as well, & works for non-DVD files as well...

Dvd shrink. (dvdshrink.com) will decode and allow you to rip anything. . . .But only if you can download it FIRST. I don't think there is a way around that, unless you ask for permission from the website. Copyrighted items can be "borrowed" if you have permission. I would just email them and ask. Let them know what you are going to use it for, too.

The DivX package (codecs,player,etc.) used to come with a converter, I thought. I don't know how it dealt with copyright protection and such and they probably charge for it now anyway.\nDVDDecrypter_3.5.4 & DVDShrink32 were freeware to rip and manipulate CP'ed DVD's but I'm not sure about the conversion to DivX anymore. Probably not much help but you can E-mail me if you can't find anything. I may be able to help you.\n\np.s.: also worth a look is Gordian Knot, GNU open source I believe. Try sourceforge.net. Or is it sourceforge.org? I dunno'\n\n  Buffalo, buffaloman687-roam@yahoo.com

If you want a program that "just works" with the click of a button, I would look to DVD95Copy. The more techie bunch of us use a combination of tools such as DVD Shrink, etc. but if you are looking for a non-technical solution, I would try theirs.
