RipIt4Me
http://www.ripit4me.org/
RipIt4Me is a freeware utility that helps you backup
your copy protected DVDs.
Recently released DVDs are now very often equipped
with stronger copy protections - such as ARccOS™
and RipGuard DVD. Programs like DVD Shrink or
DVD Decrypter cannot handle these types of discs.
With the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will
be a very easy task. The program is fully automated
and the wizard will guide you through all the necessary
steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click"
mode that will perform all the involved steps automatically
for you.
RipIt4Me uses/needs these 3 programs
DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0
DVD Shrink version 3.2
FixVTS
And your screen setting should be set to 1024x768
or over for best performance.
Version 1.4.4.0 (28 July 2006)
Improvements:
Added ISO mode: Ripping in ISO mode allows you to do a 1-for-1 copy of your
DVD. The ISO isn't "cleaned up" so it is likely that tools that can open
ISOs for editing (such as DVD Shrink) will still have problems with it.
However, it should be possible to burn the ISO using ImgBurn and because
the DVD isn't modified, the layer break will be right (for Double-Layer
ISOs).
Added preference to remove unplayed cells in menus (provided they have no
buttons and no commands). This can be useful to remove the long black video
sometimes found in VIDEO_TS.VOB and other menu vobs. Enable it in the
preferences as the default is off.
Added a warning in the log if an autorun.inf file is found at the root of
the DVD.
Added code to save the original and modified IFOs in a subdirectory along
with the logs.
Added a key in the .ini file DirWhereToSaveLogs= where you can specify the
base directory where to save logs and IFOs.
Turned "Remove tiny cells" on by default.
Menus commands and program tables are now always cleaned up.
Added handling of preferred video mode (sprm(14)) when the structure is
analysed.
Improved the detection and cleanup of bogus cells in protected PGCs.
Added better handling of scratched DVDs. When a scratch is detected, the
user can re-rip the affected file(s) automatically, using the updated PSL.
Fixes:
Fixed a bug that caused the final PSL to still include areas that
correspond to scratches (it should not).
The code to prevent autorun.inf from running was not enabled if the Wizard
step 1 window was active instead of the main one. This has been fixed.
Fixed a bug that could cause some of the 1: lines in the final PSL file to
be omitted
Improved/Fixed the code that removes bad cells and unused menu cells:
- Fixed a bug that could cause bogus commands (jumps to non-existent
cells/pg/chapters) to not be fixed.
- Fixed a bug that could cause bogus chapters/programs to not be removed.
RI4M now requires FixVTS 1.403 to be installed.
Version 1.4.3.0 (20 July 2006)
Added code to prevent autorun.inf from running when you insert your DVD if
RipIt4Me is the foreground window. This should help with issues with DVDs
that have an autorun.inf file (such as Basic Instinct 2). Make sure you
start RipIt4Me before you insert the DVD.
If your DVD Decrypter settings instruct it to open the tray after a read,
RipIt4Me will do that at the end of a successful 1-click run.
Fixed a BOV scanning bug that could cause RI4M to detect many more buttons
than really present (X-men 2 for example).
Fixed a bug that could cause RI4M to crash when dealing with certain
authoring errors.
Fixed a PSL creation bug that could potentially be serious, but only
manifested itself if the menu domain was larger than the title domain.
Fixed the problem that caused the next "Step" window to never appear when
the main window was minimized.
Version 1.4.2.0 (18 July 2006)
Accented characters in the DVD label are now converted to "_".
Added display of DVD Label in Step 1 (the DVD-ROM is monitored in case you
open/close it).
Fixed a problem with the DVD label code (if there was no DVD, or the label
couldn't be found, the previous label was used).
Fixed a bug in the UDF routine that caused some of the VOB files to not be
found in X-men 2 for example.
Fixed bug that caused older versions of FixVTS (e.g., Beta 1.24) to not be
flagged as such.
Fixed bug that prevented RipIt4Me.log from being removed if DVD Shrink was
still running at the end of processing.
Version 1.4.1.0 (15 July 2006)
Added check for the right FixVTS version (currently 1.4)
In wizard mode, added an alert if the user tries to run DVD Shrink without
having processed with FixVTS when protected cells are present.
Added preference to automatically save the logs after the wizard or 1-click
procedure.
Logs are now saved in subdirectories of RipIt4Me named after the target rip
directory. The directories are numbered to avoid overwriting them.
Added alert if there isn't enough space to rip the DVD in the target
directory (not checked in Movie-Only mode).
Fixed the UDF code to find file sectors. It now seems to be doing the right
thing.
Added 1: lines in first psl file to cover gaps in between files in the
VIDEO_TS folder.
Improved the code that finds bogus VTS.
Modified the update code so firewalls can be setup to always let RipIt4Me
access the internet.
Fixed a little bug that caused a bogus 1: line to be inserted in the final
psl file, for unprotected DVDs.
1.4.0.0 (10 July 2006)
Fixed two problems in the UDF code that could prevent the correct detection
of VOB files on the disc.
1.3.0.0 (9 July 2006)
In movie-only mode, the cleanup phase now remove any cell that's shorter
than 2s, but leaves the last one.
In 1-click mode, RipIt4Me asks for the path to FixVTS if the user hasn't
set it yet and is planning on running it.
Added movie-only mode.
Adjust the preferences as follows:
- Adjust it in the preferences to set the default option (saved from run to
run).
- Adjust it in wizard or 1-click mode for a temporary choice (not saved
from run to run).
For example: If you do all your movies in movie-only mode, then set that in
the preferences.
Otherwise, don't set it in the preferences and set it in the wizard/1-click
for a 1-time shot.
Added code to prevent running 2 instances of FixVTS or DVD Shrink
simultaneously, or starting DVD Shrink while FixVTS is running.
Added option to generate the target rip path automatically from the DVD
label.
If the DVD turns out to be scratched or dirty, the FinalPSLFile.psl psl
file is modified to exclude cells that seem to include scratches. This
allows you to re-rip the DVD in DVD Decrypter, making sure Decrypter will
retry reading the scratched parts of the DVD as it does best.
Added option to open the FAQ if the DVD appears to be scratched.
Added code to check that DVD Decrypter isn't already running when RipIt4Me
starts the rip.
The wizard dialogs are now modeless, which allows you to go back to the
main window and use the scrollers. One drawback is that tooltips don't work
in modeless dialogs. Thank Bill for that.
The log now scrolls to the bottom for new messages.
Added option to play a sound at the end of the rip. There's no sound
included with the app, so if you don't set one, it will try to use the DVD
Decrypter success sound (note it will not play in wizard mode if you skip
or abort the rip).
Added check for AnyDVD and DVD43, with an option to (brutally) kill the
process before running RipIt4Me.
Changed DVD Decrypter option to hide Pack Header Not Found warnings.
1.2.0.0 (3 July 2006)
Fixed a nasty bug that caused RipIt4Me to completely fail in some rare
cases (Fun with Dick & Jane R2, for example).
Changed guide link.
Removed DVD Decrypter maximum speed setting. (not really necessary, might
annoy some).
Added version history to Help menu.
Fixed bug in routine that detects protected cells. Also changed the way the
original PSL is created. The ranges no longer overlap.
For scratched discs, added user option to continue with the cleanup or to
abort.
1.1.0.0 (30 June 2006)
Added code that detects cells that have been erroneously removed. The code
warns the user if there's a chance that the cell was removed because the
DVD was scratched.
Fixed a bug in the code that checks for Decrypter on startup.
1.0.0.0 (28 June 2006)
