[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 86032, member: 14215"] The best think to do would simply be to write a plugin that allowed this only for unencrypted DVDs. This should be safe enough as it doesnt circumvent any copy protection. Most DVDs are encrypted however, and depending on your location it might or might not be illegal to circumvent this protection. There exists multiple programs that run in the background and decrypt the DVD on the fly so that it appears unprotected to programs such as the plugin i mentioned above. In this manner no one can blame MP, and people who either dont care(which is understandable, i never understood why i shouldnt be allowed to backup my DVDs!), or live in a place where its allowed to circumvent copy protection for backup purposes could use one of these background services. I dont really think its worth the bother though, i prefer to just use a seperate program. [/QUOTE]
