<p>This one is my favorite, <a href="http://www.mpegx.com/view.php?detail=323">SmartRipper</a></p><p>Sometimes you have to open the movie in windows media player first to &quot;unlock&quot; and then open smartripper.&nbsp; I haven't used it in a while, so it shiould work on most discs unless they have some new protection.</p><p>BTW just to let you know, using these programs violates the DMCA, but it's all fun and games until the MPAA folds.&nbsp;</p>
