Hi everyone, If we are talking about DVDs, you may want to watch out for DVD-encryption as a lot of DVDs are encrypted today. I know som software can handle this, but some decoding software does not like encryption. I am also curious to know what you are using for this, as I use a hardware solution myself through the Mac USB-port, making it much faster.
I know we are talking about entertainment systems now, but I didn't see fit to change the subject just yet as it falls into the same category.
