100% CLEAN report malware

A simple-to-configure program that helps you back up your protected DVDs using the built-in wizard or one "1-Click" mode, while offering support for detailed logs and rich set of configuration settings

What's new in RipIt4Me 1.7.1.0:

Added an automatic updater. When a new version is available, RipIt4Me offers to download and install it for you. If you answer yes, the application closes, and the updater launches, fetches the app, puts it in the right place, and launches it again. If DVD Decrypter is currently ripping, the rip is aborted. If the VOBs are being cleaned, the cleanup is also aborted.
This of course, will only work the next time we have an update.
Added code to detect whether the DVD appears to be protected. This is displayed in the main window during Step 1. If the DVD isn't protected, there's a new button in Step 1 to open the DVD with DVD Shrink directly.
Added "Open .ini file" to the Main menu.

Most computer users who have been around the block a few times know how hard it can be to maintain CDs and DVDs in shape (more from the physical point of view, rather than the digital one). This is good enough reason to backup your files, even when they are placed on external disks.

When it comes to DVDs, this is easier said than done. According to modern standards, DVDs now come with a complicated protection system which disables you to copy them. In order to get over these barriers, you need a specialized piece of software such as RipIt4Me.

Built-in wizard or one "1-Click" mode

RipIt4Me allows you to rip protected DVDs, in a few easy steps. You can either go through all the steps presented in the wizard, or choose "1-Click" and let the software do all the hard work for you.

RipIt4Me depends on a few other applications to perform nicely: DVD Decrypter (compulsory; the whole ripping process is accomplished with its aid) and optionally DVD Shrink (verifies the output files) and FixVTS (for cleaning DVDs protected by ARCcOS or RipGuard).

Configuration settings

The Preferences menu allows you to select to remove protected cells, tiny cells or useless menu cells, always cleanup VOBs on a full DVD, remove unreferenced video, and others. Ripping can be set to full DVD, movies and menus, movie only or ISO image.

Logs and performance

RipIt4Me saves details of the ripping process in logs, allowing you to view all the steps that lead to the final process. The time it takes for a full backup can vary, depending on a variety of factors, but we can assure you that the quality of the results is worthwhile.
