Ripping Sony Encrypted DVDs
by Tony Hung on March 11, 2006
Normally the process I use to rip DVD’s is to use DVDShrink 3.2 … you can find a copy of it on afterburn.com I think, as it is no longer officially released.
However, some Sony DVD’s have an encryption scheme that DVDShrink is not able to crack. ?
Such as Hitch.
Anyway, to rip Hitch, I had to follow some instructions on Afterburn.com, and basically use another ripper.
As summarized you use another program called DVDFab Decrypter to rip the DVD only (usually DVDShrink does this automatically); then, you use another program called VobBlanker to ‘process this’? … I’m not sure what this means … and then use DVDShrink to re-encode the DVD.
Which worked with Hitch!

Wouldn’t this have been a great opportunity to make a pun, liked worked with a Hitch =)
I was almost disappointed when I realized you hadn’t.
