Get information off your discs with a DVD decrypter.

DVD-ripping software creates files on your hard drive from the source DVD and lets you convert the files to any format with free software. After decrypting the files from the source DVD, you can compress the files and upload them to the Internet or store them on your hard drive, saving disc space. You also can take the DVD programs with you on a laptop, without having to carry a separate DVD case.
