DVD Decrypting and Digital Audio Extraction
A free and popular utility used by many to decrypt original DVDs and hence backup the contents to 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.
It was rather slow when it came to decrypting the DVD-ROM that we tested. Compared to the Sony DRU-810 that we tested previously, it was almost 5 minutes off the mark.
The LITE-ON managed to hits its stated maximum CD-ROM read speed of 48x and its average read speed was a very decent 35x.
