Its just simple:
Smartripper shows you the whole DVD filesystem...
All the BUP files and stuff.
What did I do??
Rip all the vob files, then you still have the BUP and ifo\'s to do. Rip them after you got your VOB\'s. For some strange resean smartripper can\'t do that simulataneously. After that, you look at the DVD structure and at you r rip structure. All files that are not necessary, throw them out the mapstructure.
Burn it back on DVD and you have an EXACT copy, DeCSS and Macrovision are gone when you rip with smartripper, problem solved, you have a readable backup. Also for you hardware DVD-player!!
For multiple DVD backups of movies, like i tested with \"the mummy\", simple you got for example 3 different VOB list on your DVD, all three with their own BUP and ifo. Rip them all apart in different TS folders. Burn on HD, problem solved, readable on PC and hardware DVD!!
The thing is that this doesn\'t make sense if you do this!! It\'s a lot of work, even when you have one hell of a machine like I have (AMD 2000+ XP with 512 MB 333MHZ DDR, a SONY 16x DVD reader, and a Pioneer burner, all that ripping goes to a IBM 60Gb ATA 133)
2 hours for one movie. I don\'t know then I rather copy a DivX from ViTe or Dominion, or some other quality rip group.
I know its possible now, but I\'m not going to do this in my spare time.
Hope I helped you guys out a bit...
