I am trying to rip my Akira DVD for a video, but I am unable to do so. It's worked before, but it won't let me rip it now. I popped it in, opened up Smartripper, and it said that some features were inaccessible unless it was opened by a DVD player, and it wouldn't give me any chapters or VOBs tp rip "Fine", I say unto myself. I try downloading a couple different players' trial versions, but they all just freeze. I then download Windows Media Player 9 and it opens up the DVD, reads what it is and how many chapters, but doesn't seem to want to process any video or audio. It's been sitting here for about five minutes or so spinning the DVD, and it says that it is playing, but it won't open up any video. I can't rip the DVD because these locked features are still locked!
I was thinking of runnng a spyware check, but I do not know if that would help the issue at all. Is there a way I can unlock this DVD and get it ripped? Thanks.
