Ripping

1st Step: Copying DVD Movie files to HD

Procedure :
After we insert the movie disk in our DVD-ROM drive, we run VobDec.

Tools:
VobDec v0.31
VobDec GUI

VobDec is a utility that decrypts VOBs that have been encrypted using CSS. Unlike DVD rippers, it does not need to get the decryption key from the DVD drive, but actually derives the key from the encrypted VOB itself using a cryptographic attack. This means that once you can read the VOBs (after the drive has been authenticated) VobDec should work. This may be useful for people who have problems with DVD rippers, or those who must disable DMA to get them to work. VobDec can even decrypt a VOB that has been copied encrypted to the hard drive!

1) Place in the same folder VobDec.exe and VobDec GUI. After run GUI. You will see something like this:

2) Press on Locations and locate VobDec and also select the target directory:

3) Now don't waste any more time and press the "GoldCD button" at the bottom of VobDec GUI (one step copy) and the after sometime you will have the vob files uncrypted at your HD. Notice that the vobs are copied in the same folder which vobdec is:

4) You are ready to step in Encoding Page!

Other options

- Merge: Merges all files in one big file! But with the FAT32 file system you will have problems since it doesn't allow files bigger than 4GB. A possible solution would be to convert the FAT32 partition to NTFS with Winternals NTFS for Win98. When the conversion finishes you can use files bigger than 4GB. But most users can work fine having 5 separate VOB files.

- Detect Multiangles: Have this option always checked, since it skip multiangles vobs which causes problems when encoding multiangles movie. Useful for movies like Matrix, Sixth Sense..

- Find key: Press it in order to find the key which was the DVD encrypted
- Read key: It will read the key (if you have found it previous)
