Place the video DVD you want to backup in your DVD-ROM drive and launch DVD Decrypter. DVD Decrypter makes attempt to detect and authenticate your DVD-ROM drive. In this example, the video DVD is detected on drive H:, the DVD-ROM on your system may have a different drive letter. The authentication process is required to read encryption information from the DVD. This process takes only a few seconds and if everything is successful, the following window appears on your screen.



Select a target folder to hold the decrypted image of the video DVD. In this example, the output folder is D:\Barbie\Video_ts. You might want to have the folder name in capitals in case you want to play back the DVD-R on some older DVD player. DVD Decrypter highlights the files which contain the main movie. Make sure you are in File mode (or press Ctrl-F to select file mode). Press Ctrl-A to select all files on the video DVD. Check the free disk space and the required disk space box to make sure you have room for the video DVD. Keep the default setting and click the button with the green arrow icon to begin the ripping process. Depending upon the speed of your DVD-ROM and CPU, ripping a typical 7-gigabyte video DVD may take from 15 minutes to an hour.



The following screen appears during the ripping process. You can click the Stop button to cancel the process. DVD Decrypter reports the estimated remaining time, percentage of completion, information regarding the current video title set, and the remaining free disk space.



When you are done, the VIDEO_TS folder (stands for Video Title Set) contains all files from the original video DVD stored in unencrypted form (without the CSS encryption information). These are VOB (Video Object) files which contain the video and audio of the movies and the IFO (Information) files which contain the menu navigation information.
In the target folder create an empty folder called AUDIO_TS. The only 2 subfolders in the target folder should be VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. You might want to keep all folder names in capitals. Some older DVD players may not play DVD-Rs with folder names in lower case.

The ripped files (in the folder D:\Barbie\Video_ts, in this example) are ready to be reauthored by to make them fit into a single DVD-R without losing the original video and audio quality.
