RealNetworks to launch DVD ripper, complete with DRM

There is a way around this restriction. You can transfer the file to up to 5 additional Windows PCs by purchasing up to 5 additional software licenses at $20 a pop. The first license will cost you around $30.
Of course, there are plenty of other applications that let you rip movies for free. And they don't add DRM. A few of my favorites are:
Technically it's illegal to use the aforementioned apps to rip commercial DVDs. But if you plan to make a backup of your movie collection for viewing on your PC and don't plan to distribute those movies on the internet, odds are nobody will come banging down your door. And you don't need to pay $20 if you buy a new computer and want to move your collection from one PC to the next.
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 ...

DVD Decrypter is still the best DVD-ripping application, all these years later. Nothing else is as configurable, especially in conjunction with DVD Rebuilder Pro for any re-encoding, DVDFab HD Decrypter for dumping VIDEO_TS folders from DVDs with newer/unusual encryption, and MeGUI for transcoding.

Handbrake is the absolute best converter after you get through DVDDecrypter -- I use the PS3 preset and have yet to find a place it won't play. Quality is great (if you tinker with e.g. deinterlacing a bit), and it's relatively fast too. I really like that they let you queue up a bunch of conversions so you can walk away for a couple hours/days.

DVD Decrypter can do "a complete copy of a disc right down to the menus, alternate audio tracks, and special features", and it's FREE...and it doesn't slap you in the face with a drm.
Nice one Real, your interface even reminds me of DVD Decrypter.
What's next, a legal torrent service hosted by a service such as Real, called The DRM Bay? Might as well go that far.
Same old, again. The tools for copying multimedia are FAR too mainstream for any decent amount of people to bother with services..that splatter DRMs all over your content. Will this never be learned?
I know, that as well as inforcing laws, the producers also do this to keep their investors/CEOs feeling happy and safe...but seriously, its only doing more bad than good...when it's most obviously the money that matters the most.

I heard that iTunes has DRM protection and must need software.
