OK folks. I guess I had better explain this. Someone on this list a while back asked for recommendations for ripping DVDs. I was one of the responders and recommended Magic DVD. Arthur then sent me a copy of Prism and I've installed it and have it up and running. However I've been communicating with Arthur privately about the use of this programme. I have a BBC DVD box set I want to rip to my PC. When I used Prism I got the message it couldn't open the file and the reason might be it is probably encrypted. I then tried with a DVD my PA brought in with her and I tried ripping that with Prism and got the same message. Arthur gave me some advice but that didn't work either and I still get the same message. I have the trial version of Magic DVD installed and that ripped the video my PA brought with her although the quality was garbage, I need to tweak the settings. I'll do that once I decide if I'm going to buy it or not. Magic DVD ripper says they have incorporated inscription busting properties in their programme and they can be updated. I was wondering if perhaps the problems I'm having with Prism is due to the programme not having the ability to negate encryption on the disc and that was the point of my original mail. I couldn't remember Arthur's email address and lazily just did a reply to the mail he posted here forgetting the email would go to the list and not to Arthur alone. It could be that part of the problem I'm having with Prism is my not knowing how to use it properly, the help files didn't give a great deal of help but in truth, I don't know the reason. Walter.

Well I have it here thanks to a recommendation from this list and I wouldn't be without this tool, probably the best video converting software I've seen on Planet Earth thus far both for Windows and Mac operating systems, so easy to use and accessible. Howdy! Okay, I've missed something so someone explain to me please the subject line when we're talking about something completely different? Magic DVD Copier or Magic DVD Ripper have absolutely nothing whatever to do with Prism Video Converter, Prism converts DVD formats, Magic DVD Copier copies DVD's and Magic DVD Ripper Rips DVD'S to your computer <smile>.
