DVD Decrypter is just one of a kind they don't make them like this anymore. There was a time when there was no DVD DVD Decrypter couldn't handle and still it can handle a lot of DVDs. I think it's sad that they don't update it anymore it could be nice, but unfortunately that's sometimes life too. I still use it a lot even with windows 7 it runs without any problems. I would rate way over 5 if I could, or should I say you cant rate this its too good.

The bad

Solution
There are other tools like this DVD Ripper software that can convert DVD to iPod, iPhone, Xbox 360, Zune, PSP, PS3, and other portable players.

Hats off to Lightening UK for writing the BEST DVD decrypting software, and not only that but it was FREE! This should be a BIG lesson to all these large corporate software companies that charge an arm and a leg for rubbish that is full of bugs...You don't need lots of money to write decent software.

Pity the hypocritical - anti piracy groups stopped this guy from writing DVD Decrypter. They haven't stopped users from decrypting DVDs, all it has done is forced us to user other software.

DVDDecrypter had ceased development long ago due to legal issues and Vista was nowhere to be seen as of the time when the latest version of DVDDecrypter was published. And if you're using Vista then you're 100% GUARANTEED to have lots of software written for XP that just doesn't work on your machine anyways. I mean... What do you expect?

Either Windows Vista message stating "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and then it closes and nothing. Or, a series of the following message "Parst VTSM runtime error" or it just locks my computer up. Not sure what the issue is. Anyone have any suggestions?

Works fine on Vista for me.

Suggest problem 'might' be if you've installed the program to "C:\Program Files\...". Vista protects software installed in this directory, and know this sometimes causes problems.

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling to a custom directory eg "c:\Programs\DVD-Decrypter".

if you have ripping problems its not this programs fault, you should look at altenatives that is in development, it has a great interface, many many options, you can rip individual episodes of tv series dvds, rip to iso, even burn iso!

its a must to fight dvd copy protection, atleat on older dvds before 2006, might work after to, some dvds has extra protection like casino royale, you can use slysoft's anydvd to beat that out and take backup using a iso maker program! ;)

jakobmp28 reviewed v3.5.4.0 on May 22, 2007

Here how you rip a DVD - also Casino Royale:

1. At first try to rip it with DVD Decrypter. Choose a folder on the hard disk and rip/copy it to that. The program will skip through copy writes, protections and dummies such as runtime errors. Remember you’ll need around 6-8 GB of free space for preliminary storing.
If it works go directly to point 3. If not, go to point 2.

2. Rip it with DVDFab HD Decrypter what’ll do the same as DVD Decrypter, but is slower, but has more sneaky and sly methods for sneaking past the copy writes and various protections.
Choose a folder on the hard disk and start ripping.

3. When the ripping is finish you have an exact copy on your hard disk of the DVD movie, but… the movie is too big to be copied to an empty DVD. Therefore you have to reduce or “shrink” it a bit.

Use the program DVD Shrink and choose the movie from the folder. The program will scan through the movie and give you possibilities for choosing different features to include in the shrink, fx subtitles, foreplays etc.
End by choosing the button called backup to shrink the DVD.

4. Burn the shrinked movie using a compatible DVD burn program such as Nero Burning ROM or NTI DVD Maker.

5. Enjoy the movie!

Extra
The programs used in this process are all except for Nero freeware.

I have used DVD Decrypter and sometimes get a message that it cannot decrypt a movie. I also use "DVDFab HD Decrypter" which usually dycrypts the movie. However after using it, you'll have to run your file off your HD with "DVD Shrink" to reduce the size so it will fit on a 4.7gb DVD. Here is just one site you can get it at

Just to clarify, DVD Decrypter won't even let you boot it up with Casino Royale in your DVD drive; it immediately gives you the access errors Jonny55 mentioned and then either quits or produces more and more error dialogs until you use the Task Manager to end its process. Similarly, you can't rip to an ISO with DVD Shrink either, so you can't do either one as a first step to doing the other.

Has anyone out there encountered and solved the above problem? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

to use this program
1. run dvd decrypter this removes all copy writes and will save it to your hard drive.
2. run dvdshrink this will shrink the size since the file conversion from dvddecrypter makes the movie files to big to fit on a regular dvd.
3. find the movie files from dvd shrink with your burning program and start burning! thats it!

I don't know if this is a reveiw as much as it's a question. After the DVD is transfered to the file you select, you have a folder full of VTS files. I'm wondering if there's a converter that can change them into MP3s? If not MP3s, how do I wite these files to DVD? I'm so confused here...

expert1987

expert1987 reviewed v3.5.4.0 on Jan 16, 2007

To answer all your questions: (note: this information is not to be used for illegal purposes)

I'm guessing the reason it says you're out of space is because your external drive doesn't support single files over 3-4GB. If you deselect File Splitting in the options, it should work. (Tools>Settings>File Mode>Options>File Splitting). You will have 3-8 files for one movie however.

You can use DVD Region+CSS Free with DVD Decrypter to copy newer Sony Pictures movies such as Memoirs of a Geisha. Disable DVD Region+CSS Free, open DVD Decrypter, when it's ready to decrypt, enable DVD Region+CSS free and start decrypting. AnyDVD also works on some movies.

Here is a complex method for stubborn movies. It requires a few software programs (Virtual CD, DVDFab Decrypter, DVD Burning software)
Use the free DVDFab Decrypter to decrypt the movie (you may need DVD43Free - www.dvd43.com). It will decrypt the movie in several files. Copy those files into a folder named VIDEO_TS. Use a DVD Burning software such as Nero to burn an ISO image containing that folder with the video files. Then use Virtual CD to mount that ISO image in a virtual drive. Open DVD Decrypter and select the source as the virtual drive containing the ISO image. It will then combine the multiple files into one file.

Just combine AnyDVD with DVD Decrypter and you can copy any newly released DVD.

1.) Use ElbyCDIO as the I/O model.
2.) Disable the structural protection removal in DVDDecrypter.

DVDDecrypter will see the disc as unprotected and will continue to work... forever.

As I read the reviews from some of you, I thought that downloading DVD Decrypter would be a waste of my time. Nevertheless, I thought, "Why not give it a go and see for myself?". It's a good thing I did, too. After using it the first time I was amazed at how easy and very effective this program actually is. This is worth ever little mb of space on my computer and then some. I may jinx it by saying so, but this program is worth paying for, in my opinion, however I am greatful it is freeware. I most defiantly recomend this piece of software to anyone that has problems trying to burn a movie for their personal use, of course.

For those of you running Linux, DVD Decrypter runs perfectly in WINE. To get your DVD drive running with DVD Decrypter, use this how-to:

(Note, if you mount a DVD using your OS's mount program, wine should discover it when using Auto-Configure devices under winecfg).

(Assumes your Dvd is /dev/hdd, mounted on /media/cdrom/, and will be device D: in wine)

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices

rm d:

ln -s /media/cdrom -s d:

ln -s /dev/hdd -s d::

(Notice the double colon on the second symlink)

Shutdown DVD Decrypter and open it back up. Make sure the I/O interface is set to SPTI - Microsoft.

Rip and Enjoy :-)

...anyone wanna tell me why this computer that USED to run this program easily is freezing. I've also tried DVDFab as well.

Granted, it was last year when I last used the same version on this same computer (no hardware changes). I'm wondering if any of the new news of 32bit and 64bit Vista Blue Ray HDTV blocking is trickling down into security updates of 32bit WindowsXP Home Edition SP2? Something that already gone and went "unnoticed", know what I mean? That language Microsoft uses with the bottom line (like the geniune XP update).

I am using Cyberlink DVD Player 3.0 and that "validated" my my DVD drive and conformed it to playability, a software not on the computer last year.

The one thing I did notice now and then is that despite getting the entire video to DVD (remember this computer is freezing as of tonight), a Sony DVD +/- R and into a Sony DVD player (from 2003) that plays those formats is not easy. In fact not one DVD I've made will play in the standalone DVD player...any ideas?

I've got some catching up to do.

Sorry about the official site and all that wonderful info being lawsuited into the graveyard.
Them big execs should've been HIRING the maker.

....Remember Cool Edit Pro by Syntrillium? They are the only company right now I can remember that had no problem installing their software on multiple PCS FREE so long as one bought copy was registered, heard it direct from them vocally too.

All for now.

I'd never heard of this program till early 2006. I love it. It's no longer being developed but that's rarely presented a problem for me.

It does what it was designed to do and quite well. And it's far more efficient than a commercial alternative I bought (123 Copy DVD), but the latter has come in handy for the occasional DVD that DVD Decrypter can't handle.

All in all an excellent program. I suspect it will stay that way till the studios catch up.

If I can copy my CDs and Video Tapes for my own personal use, why not my DVDs. The DMCA is bogus.

It was the the best, its not supported any more. the big guys came after him. http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/11914 I use LG's OneClick to fit the movies on one cd. The link in here saying he has a new site is a lie, its and addware site. For new movies I just started using DVDFab Decrypter. It copies entire DVD movie to hard disk, and removes all the protections (CSS, RC, RCE,PS, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) while copying. http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm The free version actually has worked on all the new dvds I have tried. The down side is it has no features you have to buy the upgrade. I use LG's OnClick to put it on one DVD. I probably will get the commercial version, before the big guys put them out of business as well. I also have DVD 43 and DVDxcopy, they work fine, but not on the newer movies. Good luck..

mount the image you just decrypted, load it in dvdshrink, and let it run. save the resulting ISO in another filename and you're done.

Surprised noone has yet answered the question from April 6th about this software in that particular review. It goes something like, "Can't rip Memoirs of a Giasha or Capote". The reason is that DVD Decrypter doesn't decode Arcos copy protection which is used on all Sony DVDs after Lords of Dogtown. In order to rip a sony dvd, you need either dvdfab decrypter or a program like anydvd or dvd43 to remove the arcos and then run dvd decrypter as normal. Hope this clarifies. Oh, and 5 out of 5 because without DVD Decrypter, where would all other dvd ripper programs be?

First try updating your burner firmware from the burner manufacturer website
Then try using it.if you still get the error you may have to try different media.You can check if the media is compatible on the manufacturer website.

Q:Can someone tell me how to fix my decrypter. When I create the dvd I get a message that states "burn process failed." Please advise

DVDFab Express is simply the easiest way to copy a DVD movie. Just insert the movie and a blank DVD then press Start. Your entire movie - including menus, trailers and special features - is copied to a single DVD with just one click, and everything happens automatically.

DVDFab Decrypter is a simple version of DVDFab Express. It copies entire DVD movie to hard disk, and removes all the protections (CSS, RC, RCE, Macrovision, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) while copying.

We all know DVD Decrypter is a great DVD ripper, why we need another one? Well, the reason is DVD Decrypter's development has stopped, so it will not support newer version of Sony ARccOS protection automatically. Fortunately, DVDFab Decrypter is always updated to support latest protection, so you can backup your DVD movies to hard disk as before. For example, Movie 'Closer' cannot be copied by DVD Decrypter automatically, but with the help of DVDFab Decrypter, you can copy it without problem.

The popular DVD ripping tool DVD Decrypter has ceased all activities following an order by an as yet unnamed company.

The author of the program, known only as LIGHTNING UK! had originally put up a notice on his website but that has since been taken offline.

Just the best straight "ripper" available.

As a freeware prog, its quality simply boggles the mind when $100 software pkgs, even entire OSes routinely ship with gigantic bugs that "we'll ship the patch as soon as people complain...", it's amazing that one person is able to produce highly quality software and charge nothing...!

DDVD can't be beat for what it does: ripping your movie from disk to hdd and defeating all current rights destruction technologies used to keep consumer from exercising their rights under Federal law (this applies to US citizens only; have no idea about UK, EU, Japan, etc).

It has many helpful features as well as three ripping "modes." Definitely explore the Settings dialogue and check doom9.com for a good user guide.

DDVD also generates a highly detailed log for each movie. This is very important in case issues come up that you need help with. Save it for posting and you can often get answers to your questions very quickly from the user's forum.

With this and DVD Shrink, just about anyone can be protecting their DVD investment from Hollywood and KGBPAA greed in minutes.

REMEMBER: it's your right as a consumer to protect your investments--i.e. the billions we pour into Hollywood's already overstuffed pockets--by creating an archive copy.

If you actually need a reason BESIDES protecting your rights, here it is:

According to Blockbuster Video the AVERAGE rental dvd lasts 12-13 rentals, the average kid's dvd lasts 3-4 rentals, before they become unreadable even by set-top players.

There are two programs that can be used to backup a DVD: DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter.
They are both WONDERFUL, both freeware, both easy to use, and neither of them is bloatware.
Which one do you need? I would say both of them.
DVD Shrink is better, since it allows you to select what to keep and what to discard (e.g. unused languages, ugly extras etc.)
DVD Decrypter has a better error handling: if the DVD is scratched, you will need it.

Excellent program. I think I will donate too.
I use anydvd and clonedvd to backup my dvds. Those of you who havent tried that, ought to. It's THE easiest way to copy your DVD 1:1 (there is some loss of quality reported in clonedvd as there is a quality bar), but I've never actually seen the loss when I play on my home dvd player. But then again the quality bar is always in the green (and I include all menus). Clonedvd and anydvd are excellent investments for anyone the slightest bit worried about their DVD collection.

I have a question: I have a few divx, avi, mpg files I'd like to go ahead and stick on a dvd or cd and be able to play on my dvd player... what's the best tool to do this?
It doesn't have to be free.

Thanks.

It's tough --- very tough --- to imagine a better program. I just hope that with all the improvements DVDDeC does not turn into just another bloatware. That's what happened to Nero ROM. I'm reminded of Pareto's Law of 80/20. 20 % of the features are those used 80% of the time. And while this program is as nearly perfect as anything has the right to be, using kaizen to get that 20% even more perfect is better, to my small mind, than expanding on features that look great on paper but that do not contribute much to the 80%.

Pain_Man, Nero Recode does not need plug-in to encode in MPEG4 (and it's the main task of Recode).

Pain_Man

Pain_Man reviewed v3.1.9.0 on Jan 18, 2004

I'm running my first test with DVD Decrypter. Heretofore, when backing up my huge investment in DVDs to store them offsite--with a five K deductible on the homeowner's insurance, I'm not going to lose my entire collection. Besides, two Supreme Court precedents gives us the right to back up "entertainment" content and data.

Anyway, regarding Nero Recode. It doesn't come with a DVD/MPEG-2 Decoder. You have to buy one for $20 from Ahead (Nero's maker) or, may be, one will magically fall into your hands. So far, magic ain't working, and Ahead isn't extorting $20 more bucks out of me when freetools do the same job. These Krauts must think we're idiots.

So do NOT download trial versions of Nero expecting Recode to work; it won't without the $20 plug-in.

Just thought I'd warn those of you who were considering doing this.

don't get me wrong. I love Nero and I use Nero ROM Burner to burn all my CD/DVDs. But they will gig you for extra bucks (just as Intervideo does with WinVideo and Interactive. The latter is supposedly free. But if you pay $70 to get the excellent WinVideo Platinum DVD player, you to pay $19.95 to connect their "freeware" to a product you've already paid 70 plus for! These companies, I swear. No wonder pirated software is pandemic. People get tired of being endlessly ripped off by "upgrades" and "plug-ins" convienently left off the information when you're forking over the bucks. That's my rant.

This program is the very best for ripping dvd's and it's so easy to use I give it 10 out of 10. To the person who can't find nero recode try a program called dvd2one it compresses a 7 or 8 or 9 gig the dvd down to 4.36 gigs then use Imgtool as long as you have nero installed to burn out your dvd.
You will then have a perfect quality full version dvd copy with all the extras too.
P.S Go to http://www.nero.com/en/nero-prog.php and download Nero express and Nero Vision express trial and you will find Nero recode in Nero vision express.

Amazing program.

It automatically detecs DVD's in the drive for you, and displays the contents of the VIDEO_TS folder for you automatically. One click of a mouse is all it takes to begin the ripping/decrypting process. The output works flawlessly in Windows Media Player (assuming one has all the proper codecs). Process takes about 30-40 minutes for a full DVD. Combined with DVDShrink for compressing oversized video to fit on a DVDR5, this makes for one powerful combination for backing up your DVD collection.

I'm using this software on Win2k for ripping movies to my HDD (using the file mode of the soft).

Moving on 2k is for me the best way to get stable under an overclocked computer for every software i use, and for this one too, it has never crashed.
The interface is sober, you have just what you need under fingers, it will decrypt the DVD if encrypted, remove the macrovision, and write unprotected files on your hard drive (knowing that a DVD doesn't contain only one big file but several *.vob *.ifo etc... rarely more than 1Go each).
The software is also intelligent : it choose for you by default the only files needed for the main movie, reducing the amount of data to write.
Moving and decrypting files to your HDD took arount 40min (using pioneer 106s drive on an xp2400+ with 80Go HDD).

Easy to learn, this software is well desined and rock stable and i give it 5/5.
And it's freeware, but take 3mins to give 10 bucks to the author to thank him for the job.

What can I say. The best out there bar none! There is no need to install any ASPI drivers on Windows XP Pro. I have also read some comments here. The problems with the 4gig limit size is because of the O/S your running on. You need to switch over to either Windows 2000 or XP Pro running on NTFS to overcome this problem. Bacause there is a 4gig limit on Win98/ME on FAT32.

Another great thing about the program that most people don't seem to realise is you can create an ISO image using this program of your DVD's and use this same program to burn them back to your DVD writer to play in your DVD player just like the original film complete with all the Menu's. At the moment this is limited to small 4gig films because there are no 9gig blanks for sale at the moment. But as soon as these become available for sale you will be able to use just this program to rip yopur DVD,s and burn them all back to disk again. Its just a matter of when the blank 9gig DVD's become available for sale. Which is closer than you think!
