Probably the most advanced DVD ripper at the moment, DVD Decrypter, has been updated. The changelog of the DVD Decrypter v3.1.5.0 is long and impressive, including tons of new goodies, specially for the DVD-/+R users.
The full changelog is here:
  • Improved detection of currently inserted media

  • Improved RCE Protection detection in IFO mode
  • Improved support for DVD+R/+RW drives

Will the new "region patch" allow me to back up a region 2 DVD so that I can burn and watch it on my region 2 TV?

I know you can do multi-region with Daewoo 5800 & Apex AD 1110W DVD PLayers. If the instructions you got with your DVD Player have a symbol globe with a # 1 in it you should be able to get secret code to unlock your unit. Info here and go to Nerd-out.com

TommyG: There isn't such thing as Region 2 TV. Regioncodes are implemented on bought DVD-Video discs and in DVD players. DVD Decrypter allows you to rip, for example, R1 (USA/Canada) DVD and make it Region free, so the copy can be played with any DVD player, whether it is R1, R2 (Europe/Japan), R3 (Hong Kong), R4 (Australia), etc..

Sorry guys; what I meant to say was that I have a region 1 DVD player. I've read a bunch of articles about having to change the frame rate and a bunch of other complicated stuff. I was just wondering if this was a new feature that would hopefully allow you to not have to do all of those painful steps. Thanks

http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/ -- look at NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the American TV standard, PAL is for the pretty much rest of the world. Best way is to get a DVD player that can play PAL movies in NTSC color coding and get a TV that can play "NTSC-50". In US, getting multiformat stuff is _DIFFICULT_. To answer your original question: no, DVD Decrypter doesn't allow you to change the framerate and/or resolution from PAL to NTSC. It can remove region codes, but because of TV standard differences, you also need to get a DVD player (and in most cases, TV) that can cope with also other than NTSC sources.
