Hello, I'm trying to rip the movie 13 Days, but for one of the VTS's there are over 100 PGC's Is there a way to rip all of them at once and into seperate directories?? The current process I'm doing now, one at a time.. takes too long.

Write a batch file and do it via CLI with DVD Decrypter.
From the command line, type 'dvddecrypter.exe /?' for the available switches.

Thanks, I knew there was a way... Now I'm not too experienced in batch files, what basic commands do I need in the file?

Well first of all you'll probably want to turn on the 'Include PGC Number' file name option in the IFO Mode settings.

Then, make a batch file containing something like the following

dvddecrypter.exe /mode ifo /vts 1 /pgc 1 /start /close
dvddecrypter.exe /mode ifo /vts 1 /pgc 2 /start /close
dvddecrypter.exe /mode ifo /vts 1 /pgc 3 /start /close
.
.
.
dvddecrypter.exe /mode ifo /vts 1 /pgc 100 /start /close

Alright I've finished my other DVD... now for this one, I also found out that along with over 100 PGC's, 5 of them have diffrent angles. I looked at the available switches, and there is an option for extracting the angles... but to type all 140 PGS switches and the angles is taking forever, is there any otherway to somehow limit the work needed to write the batch script?

try it in some form of loop.
The program will quit with an error if it cant select the specified pgc / angle.

So, if u don't mind me asking, how would I create the loop. Sorry for all these questions, but I'm still pretty new at this sort of thing.
