: Cool! Thanks fro the head's up! I'm trying to make a duplicate copy of my DVD
: which has CSS on it and I tried originally (and quite ignorantly mind you)
: just tossing it into Toast Platinum and copying it but the CSS prevented
: that so I looked it up online and found handbrake. It's really wierd
: because the 1st ad on the DVD (my test chpater) came out fine (although
: lower quality video which I later fixed by playing with the compression
: levels)

Yeah, that part probably wasn't CSS protected. Even weirder is the ArcOSS protection. The first chapter of Hostel won't come out, but the rest will. It works (I think) by intentionally putting bad sectors in the DVD and the .ifo files instruct the DVD player to skip over them. But when a computer tries to copy the files, it gets read errors.

: I don't think I have to worry too much about it as I'm just trying to back up
: the film itself, not all of the crappy extras and rediculously long
: "previews" on the disc or whatnot.

Yeah, if you extract the main feature, even with 5.1 surround sound, that will probably fit on a single layer DVD-R.

: Well, it sure can be. ;) But only for testing mind you. I think I'll try a
: copy out and if I like it's functionality I'll then go into a store and
: buy it. In this day & age, I never buy without trying first,
: ESPECIALLY when it comes to unknown software. :)

Well, I bought the download version and it didn't work for me. So I asked for a refund and got it. Then I realized I was trying to compress a 2.5 hr movie w/ uncompressed PCM audio and these DVD compression programs only compress the video, which was already at its max compression. So Popcorn does work on "normal" DVDs that don't need 2 GB for audio.

If I were you, I'd just use DVD shrink if you have a PC handy already. Tiny program, pretty powerful.
