I want to put a DVD on my Windows Movie Maker! Help?
Question by some person: I want to put a DVD on my Windows Movie Maker! Help?
I have Vista Home Premium. I also have Windows Movie Maker on it and Windows Media Player. The thing is, I want to put clips of a movie from a DVD onto Windows Movie maker to make AMV’s and stuff. But I don’t know how to rip the DVD to the computer. I don’t know if it’ll let me but the thing is, I can actually watch movies on my computer using Windows Media Player. It automatically comes up. So why shouldn’t I be able to rip it onto the computer? Help please! Do I need a DVD drive or do I need to download certain software for this? Thanks in advance.
Sorry but what do you mean when you say “commercial DVD”? Thanks in advance. And which of those two on the site that you gave me should I download?

Hi – if this is a commercial DVD, then the reason is that the DVD is encrypted. It would be illegal to use the contents of a commercial DVD in a movie that you make without permission from the owners of the contents – even if you own the DVD.
If this is not a commercial DVD, you can use DVD Fab Decrypter to remove the encryption:

It’s free software, and works very well. Where I work we have a video services department that creates marketing videos for us. When they deliver their final product, it is on a DVD, and is encrypted. We recently asked them to make some changes to a previous project, and were told that they had deleted the project to save space, and so we would need to pay them to start from scratch. We used this software to unencrypt their DVD so that they could make the changes we requested – worked great.
