DVD43 will decrypt your DVD discs
Not that I advocate the breaking of copyright laws at all, but this program is a download and a free one at that. DVD43 will allow all the law-abiding citizens to backup and archive their DVD collections. There are a ton of other DVD decryption programs out there sure, but DVD43 is easy to use and requires almost no user input. It will decrypt both DVD video and audio without you having to do anything. If a DVD or CD can be unlocked, DVD43 will turn from a red angry face to a green happy (as pictured) in your system tray. When I first checked out DVD43, I thought there must be something more I had to do to use the program, but it basically does everything for you and stays out of your way. Ripping DVDs to be shared on P2P networks with DVD43 will potentially get you into more trouble with the authorities than it's worth. WARNING: Download and use at your own risk. I won't send you cookies in jail.
I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

I have used this program for a few years with intervideo dvd copy express. it works good, but i have run into a few movies that it will not work with. if the movie in your dvd drive shows the drive letter way off to the right of the title, it will not be recognized in the drive and will not work. the following movies will not copy for example.

1)DVD43 does not work on any 64 bit system.
2)Once the DVD has been decrypted, any copy software will copy the DVD. e.g. nero, alcohol120, clone dvd, dvdshrink, blah, blah,...
3)DVD43 works fine with Windows Vista (32 bit). If your system crashes, you have a BIOS problem. The problem is not DVD43. The problem is not Windows Vista (32 bit).
4)DVD Decrpyter does not work with the latest and greatest encrypting algorithms.
5)In the US, you and only you (the purchaser) may watch the DVD or listen to the CD. You may not own, sell, trade or have in your posession (in any form) any pirated DVD, CD, (or software). If your DVD was purchased legallly, then only you may enjoy it and only then in the privacy of your own home (not at a party or at school or in the playground or a bar or anywhere else for that matter without the expressed written consent of the author or her agents). You may not copy the DVD or the CD or give any copies of any CD or DVD that you legally purchased to anybody at any time, anywhere without her consent.

The program seems to operate correctly, I always end up with the green face. Is there an additional program required to enable copying?

Not to be a spoil sport but, any use of this in the US is in violation of the DMCA.. whether you're using it for personal backups or not. You're evading copyright protection by decrypting the CSS encrypted content, and that's against the DMCA.
Kinda points out the ridiculousness doesn't it?

Someone is going to write a history book about all of this one day, 100 years from now, but until then it won't make any sense. Thanks!

I love the little face the icon makes when this program is working. It makes me smile every time. Great program.
As far as the DCMA, it was a silly rule to begin with. Tivo/MoviePods, will be in our future. The law will be changed to make it happen. It is also currently illegal to make digital copies of your CD's and put them on an IPOD. The only legal digital transfer that consumers are allowed to make are on Minidiscs, and digital cassettes.
