DVD Decrypting and Additional Information

A free and popular utility used by many to decrypt original DVDs and hence backup the contents onto a computer's hard drive, DVD Decrypter has unfortunately succumbed to the pressure of a certain company whose technology it was circumventing and has since ceased development. There will not be a new version but the most recent v3.5.4.0 remains in the wilds of the Internet if you should need such a program. While there are other commercial solutions, it is still one of the best and of course, free.

At 26 minutes, it's not the fastest of drives when it came to ripping our DVD, which is not a surprise considering its maximum 12x read speed.

Nero's InfoTool provides a quick summary of this drive's capabilities.

Like Nero InfoTool, DVD Info reports this drive as having 1600KB buffer size, though ASUS' own specifications list it as 4MB.

As you can see, it's a new drive manufactured in August, though ASUS says it will only be available locally in October.
