I don't use it regularly though, I use DVDShrink on My Vista box that rips .ISO files directly to my server's Samba share.
<br><br>Not to steal the topic, but I did want to say that ripping directly to ISOs is MUCH more reliable IMHO than ripping a folder of VOB and IFO files. Or maybe I just like using lots of capitalized acronyms...<br></div>
