Convert DVD to iPod

Question 1
I try to open my DVD. I get the error message ' Unable to read from' the DVD :

Solution :

   
There are two reasons for this error.

a. You need to install ASPI driver. ASPI may be required on some PC to be able to read and write to CD and DVD. You can download Adaptec's ASPI driver from the link below:

b. The other probable reason is that the DVD is protected by unknown DVD protection system. This means the DVD is encrypted and the manufacturer prevents user form making a backup copy of the DVD.

The solution here is to use an alternative software available for download at our website. This software is known as Rip and Unprotect. Rip and Unprotect uses a different approach to DVD ripping and should solve your DVD ripping errors. Rip and Unprotect supports DVD ripping to iPod, PSP and other video formats.
