One can install dvd decrypter using wine. When installing DVD decrypter, you might want to install it under Windows NT 4.0. You set that in winecfg. Remember to add the cdrom as a device in the device tab of winecfg. Takes about the normal time for DVD Decrypter on windows, and if you enable audio through winecfg, you get to here that stupid song when the dvd is finished reading to iso.
There is Thoggen DVD ripper for LInux. For thoggen, you may need to install libdvdcss2 for things to work properly. This program takes about 2.5 hrs a disk basically because its analoging the dvd to iso. might be a good choice when others fail. In hardy repos.

There are others for linux Im sure, but these are all that quickly come to mind. Off topic: Regionset is a tool I have never needed but have always want to test out. It lets you view and modify the region code of DVD drives. Im curious, has anyone tried (for windows) DVDFab HD Decrypter (http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm). It appears this software just came out. Might be interesting. Chris...
