:) :) Hello all:

This is my first time in learning how to rip DVD. So basically, everything is new for me in this department. So with that said, I am not familiar most of the terminologies such as Streaming, Demux, ISO, IFO, Raw, etc. I had read some of the guildlines in this forum regarding this program. Anyhow, I just DL DVD Decryptor and just begin to mess around with the program. And yes, I had rip/decode my first DVD thanks to this program.

I have many questions, but for starter, I'm going ask just the basic.
So far, I have been using the IFO mode, since it was easy.
1 - Is there a some sort of preview within DVD Decryptor that sort of show you what scene you are ripping or decoding? I mean, I see all of these: VTS-01/ 02/ 03, then its sub category PGC 1/2/3/etc, and below that there is the chapters thing, and it's hard for me to know where exactly is the scene that I want to rip is in. I used the DVD player to show me which chapter is the scene that I want to rip is in, but when I translate that back to DVD Decryptor how do I know that scene is in VTS-01 or 02, etc.

2 - Is it possible to rip only portion of a chapter, i.g. Chapter 2, frame xx to xx?

Thanks for the help.

No, there's none.

There'd be a chapter number shown while you're selecting a chapter through a dvd player. Just remember that number and then rip.
2 - Is it possible to rip only portion of a chapter, i.g. Chapter 2, frame xx to xx?
Yes, you can. Read this (http://www.doom9.org/dvddec.htm).
