WMP doesn't suck at all. Besides, it comes with Windows. Why install a 3rd party software when the default one that comes with Windows does the job you require?
ya i like WMP its quite gud and the inclusion of the mp3 conversion makes it even better so y use a separate software??

    DVD decryptor
    is a software application that can create backup disc images of the DVD-Video structure of DVDs. It can be used to image any DVD, but is especially useful for decrypting copy-protected movies. The program can also record images to disc. CSS decrypting software (such as DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD, Smartripper and DVD Shrink) allows a region-specific DVD to be copied as an all-region DVD. It also removes Macrovision, Content Scrambling System (CSS), region codes, and user operation prohibition.
    The program was once distributed as freeware, but is no longer legally available for distribution in certain jurisdictions.[1]
    The burning engine is being used in a new program called ImgBurn. The disc images can be:
    • Viewed on the PC using software such as PowerDVD and WinDVD (WinDVD, however, can only view complete DVD-Video structures.)
    • Encoded to a smaller size and stripped of unwanted extras like film trailers with re-authoring tools like DVD Shrink and Nero Recode.
    • Burned onto optical media (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL and DVD-RAM) to produce discs playable in hardware DVD players.
    • Exported to VCD, SVCD or DivX format and possibly recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW media.
    what happened to dvd decrypter
    As DVD Decrypter facilitates the removal of copy restrictions, certain uses may be illegal under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Not all countries have similar laws, so DVD Decrypter should be perfectly legal there, if not otherwise restricted.
    On June 6, 2005, the developer (known as "Lightning UK!") announced that he received a cease and desist letter from an unnamed company. He later stated it was within his best interests to comply with the letter, and stopped development of the program. By June 7 a mirror site was up [1], which allowed people to download the final version (3.5.4.0). On 27 November 2005, Afterdawn.com, a Finnish website, announced that it complied with a letter received from Macrovision demanding that DVD Decrypter be taken down from its site. Since only the owner of an application can demand that it be removed from a third-party site's download section, there can be no doubt that Macrovision was the company that took legal action under a 2003 British law banning the circumvention of copying prevention measures. Shortly after that, a site with no connection to Lightning UK! appeared and claimed to be the "new" DVD Decrypter Site. This site has since closed down.

    DVD43 free on-the-fly decryption

    download DVD43 3.7.0 DVD43_3-7-0_Setup.exe
    [512KB] official homepage released Dec 7, 2005
    - it now removes Macrovision protection and handles ARcoSS protection
    - DVD43 stands for "DVD for free"
    AnyDVD and DVD-Region Free are commercial on-the-fly dvd decryption software which do the same thing but with a few more bells and whistles. Many commercial DVD transcoding software doe not include ripping ability.

    Adobe reader is 20 MB and foxit doesnt render PDFs well.
    I wasn't talking about the setup size. When you install Adobe Reader 8, it weighs more than 100MB.

    Foxit Reader renders PDFs well. You have to turn on this:


    if it's not turned ON already. Then it's pretty good.

    But why do we need a helicopter to go to the nearest boutique? :D

    I have Acrobat Professional 8 with me. It takes ages to print to PDF when3rd party tools does the job in a flash. For me, it's overkill.
