I still can not find any soft ware that will back up my new FlyBoys, but as soon as One will that will be the one that I buy?

Have you tried the free version of FabDVD Decrypter ? I haven't bought that movie to try and copy it yet but I haven't had any problems ripping all my new movies with it. Finding it is a little tough I found it on some free-codecs site. There's another free ripper here @CDFreaks called RipIt4Me I just downloaded it so i haven't tried it but give those a shot. After all the price is nothing

RipIt4Me is great. Copies the DVD no matter how much annoying, and damaging, copy protection is stuffed into the disc. I like the easy interface its easy to use, yet flexible enough to give me choices on what to copy exactly. :X Although, it does seem their website, www.ripit4me.org, is down. I hope they don't end up like DVD Decrypter! :c
