Of course, it the would need to be signed by MS (as AnyDVD is), as most people don't want to go through the trouble of making Windows allow unsigned drivers (a process involving booting the computer in an insecure mode by reconfiguring the BIOS settings, and then running a command from the command line to reconfigure Windows to allow test-signed drivers, and then installing MS Visual Studio and using that to test-sign the driver). Now I already bought it, but I hope for the sake of others looking for a good free alternative to AnyDVD, who maybe don't want to spend $100 or more for their DVD ripper, that maybe someone here could recommend an alternative free driver that decrypts DVDs on the fly. Unfortunately it has a pretty steep price. So directly dumping the files from the DVD directly is much better, and this is possible with AnyDVD. Unfortunately reencoding inevitably makes a situation where the video and audio are lower quality than the source material. Usually they read MPEG2 video and AC3 audio from the VOB files, and automatically run an MP4 video compressor that recompresses the video with h264 codec and recompresses the audio with AAC codec, in order to make smaller files. They are programs that just decrypt the VOBs and then rip the movie portion of the DVDs, and not even by copying the VOB files.

No other DVD decryptors let you do this, at least none that I have found. What makes AnyDVD so useful is that it decrypts disks on the fly, by actually running as a driver in your computer so as to make the content of encrypted DVDs readable in normal Windows Explorer.
