    I'm going to give it a shot tonight. Thanks id-republix - this looks like it's exactly what I needed (a lazy, easy way to rip DVDs :)).

    Glad to be of any help GP.

    That it is. ^_^ If it worked for me, heh, it can work for anybody.

    Search google for

    dvd audio ripper

    That would come in nice results. I've tried #1 DVD Audio and it was excellent. Just selected some chapters and encodec in 192Kbps and everything was nice.

    I almost finished ripping The Bourne Identity (I needed to use the computer, and was satisfied with the program's stability... I didn't really care to have it ripped :)). This seems to be the first DVD rip type software that doesn't lock up. I'll be ripping Equilibrium later tonight :).

    I liked Gattaca (after the second time watching it), but I'm not quite sure I understand how the two movies are in the same category, other than both being science fiction.

    I posted a link to the video in this thread for those that want to see a crazy ass replay.

    Societal control concept, basically. Equilibrium has lot more in common with Gattaca than to the movie it's always compared to, Matrix. And Gattaca comes across a lot better.

    Dark City > either of those two films then... and don't forget Brazil ;) Required viewing, both of them.

    Agreed that Gattaca's a better film than Equilibrium though, that film was fucking cheese.

    I don't remember Dark City too well.

    Equilibrium didn't rip, due to a load of fairly deep scratches on the disc. The Matrix Reloaded ripped great, though. Now I just need to get some good movies :).

    Which side are the scratches on? If they're on the data side you're screwed, if they're not consider the trick some people here were discussing a few months back - sticking the disc in a pan of hot water for a minute or two, data side facing away from the bottom of the pan. Can't hurt to try...

    Nah, there are no topside scratches (the first thing I checked for). There are fairly deep scratches on the bottom. I could probably fix it up, but I don't feel it's really worth the effort right now.
