DVD Decrypter is a highly versatile VOB-ripping utility. The software takes advantage of both the DeCSS Plus and VobDec algorithms for looking up and decrypting the CSS encryption. DVD Decrypter is also multi-angle aware, and capable of removing the Macrovision scrambling key, as well as the region code during the ripping process.

DVD Decrypter is the most complete ripper - despite what the outdated ripper comparison says - and it can do much more than rip. It can do various things with your DVD drives as changing the region, create an image of any DVD disc that you can mount as a virtual disc drive using tools like Daemon Tools, and it can even write these DVD images (provided they fit onto a DVD-5).

Before we start DVD Decrypter requires that you have an ASPI layer installed. If you get an error message like "ASPI Initialization failed" upon starting up DVD Decrypter you have to install an ASPI layer before you can continue.

DVD Decrypter has 3 basic modes of operations: File mode, which handles each VOB file separately, pretty much the same way since version 1.0. Ifo Mode is new since version 3.1.0.0 and finally delivers IFO parsing that other rippers have offered for a long time. Then there's the ISO mode which allows you to create images and write images.
