    Have you tried ripping with DVDFab HD Decrypter? It is completely free and updated often to keep up with new releases.

    I think a lot of peoples' problems with (being unable to) rip dvd's is due to the burner or dvd-rom not being good enough. I always use decent dvd-rom drives for ALL ripping (i never have ripping issues), but recently i started using an old dvd burner as a ripping drive, and it was unable to rip a brand new dvd. Tried a few different programs, even DVDFaB Platinum wasn't playing ball (disc was just spinning, DVDFab was just looping, unable to finish detecting the disc). Then i hooked up my previously used dvd-rom drive and bam, it ripped thru it like butter.

    I'm back to my old trusty dvd-roms for ripping for good now..

    Yeah let us know how you get on; when all the latest updates to the few top programs have been tried, and others post to say they've been successful in ripping a new movie, the culprit would most likely be the ripping drive. Dvd burners can be fast rippers, but just don't compare to a good old dvd-rom drive. My main dvd-rom is 5 yrs old now, and just refuses to stop ripping, though it should want to, it's ripped quite a few thousand movies in it's time :)

    A dvd-rom is only for reading dvd's (and cd's), a dvd burner can read dvd's, cd's and burn dvd's and cd's :)

    yes clonedvd 2 + anydvd worked fine

    dew4j, try a firmware update or use another drive to transcode the movie. your drive is the problem
