In my case, I have DVD Region Free installed (on-the-fly decryption, de-regionalisation, Macrovision interception, etc), but I'm not sure if this has a bearing on my experience with IMToo - I simply insert the DVD, select a preset, and hit the button. Occassionally, I play around with the available settings after selecting a preset, but I generally see good results anyway. I never use DVD Decrypter any more, though I used to go through the whole day-long process of ripping the audio and video tracks individually, then re-laying them after encoding... I had endless problems with various DVDs, usually based on the fact that audio on most actually starts several frames after the video. Even staggering the tracks and playing with a calculator, I never did get Spiderman (for instance) synched perfectly, and the audio would gradually slide out of synch as the movie progressed. I tried IMToo one day, and haven't looked back since. I'm keen to know what your experience with this package is. I didn't think until just now about the DVD Region Free thing - I installed it a long time ago (only cost me about $20) and forgot about it. Essentially, I have never had to decrypt a DVD. [b]EDIT:[/b] Upon further investigation, the same company that developed DVD Region Free is now offering [b]DVDFab Platinum[/b] - apparently, an all-in-one solution for de-restricting, decrypting and ripping DVDs. It appears to offer at least the functionality I've noted in IMToo. Might be worth a look - they have trial versions for testing, apparently.
