King of Kong DVD rip (SORRY..meant to post in the "Everything Else" Thread)

[Bender]

Anybody been able to get a full rip of the King of Kong DVD
I own this DVD and an in the process of ripping all my dvd's to my computer
I have a mac and two different rip programs and they both choke on that dvd
I want the whole thing cause the special features are as good as the film
I read somewhere that that dvd has some weird copy protection on it, but that it could be done on a PC with the right software
Anybody get this to work?

Thanks!

1. Get a Windows machine.
2. Use Ideal DVD Copy to make a LEGAL backup of a disk you already have PURCHASED

I have a PC for my cab. I just want to make sure this works before I go through all the trouble (I have to take it apart to get to the dvd drive)
I've done over 200 dvd's so far and this is the only one the mac couldn't handle
Have you ripped that DVD with that program?

man $40 bucks to rip one dvd, I might just have to do without

That will work if anything does. The latest protection is to make the DVD look like it has a bunch of movies on it, and would take a 90GB DVD to copy, so older programs freak out and fail. Plus, they are always updating it for the latest movies that change their protection. In fact, they just updated the program for new movies 2 days ago. You can download it for free to try it out. It gives you full functionality, so there is no risk before buying. Check it out:

Couldn't get my dvd drive in my PC to read the disc

So back to the Mac, I found a program called RipIt and it worked great, Sucsess!!
same deal as IdealDVDCopy 10 free rips on the trial version

Can you not get a modded xbox to read the disc to ISO?

When are these DVD manufacturers going to learn that all their stupid copy protection methods can be circumvented? Now the only people that are inconvenienced are the ones who legally purchase their products. Very annoying. Glad you were able to find a solution!

VLC would probably do it too; I'm pretty sure their DVD 'rip' basically plays it and encodes the played video (rather than properly getting the data from the disk as data, if you see what I mean), so you may take a slight hit in quality, but it's pretty solid; if you can play something, you can rip it.

I tried ripping it (I own it as well) with Handbrake on the Mac.  I wanted to be able to play it on my iPod.  No dice.  The only DVD I have tried that would not rip properly.
