just wanted some clarification, as I'm still slightly confused!
is there a disadvantage to using Rip to Image for standard DVDs? (with or without the "keep protection" option)...
is it not the case that ripping a standard DVD image with the "keep protection" option ticked will produce a 1:1 image of the original DVD (protection warts and all), which, when mounted with Virtual CloneDrive will work just as well (in fact identically) as if the original disc had been put in a real drive?? - that certainly seems to be the case made by SamuriHL about this feature when operating on BD retail media
I do understand that in order to make use of this image to make a backup, you will have to remove the structural protection, possibly even by then using AnyDVD's "Rip Video DVD to Hard Disk" on the virtual drive!
Am I right, or am I missing a fundamental point...
Just want to know so I don't go around making potentially useless images in future.
Thanks,
m
ps - or is it still better/any-more-reliable to use a 3rd party ripping util for standard DVD video (i.e. ol' faithful RI4M et al) with/without AnyDVD working in the background???
