This isn't quite correct - virtually all commercial DVDs have CSS encryption as a copy-protection measure. DVD Decrypter will remove that, but the last update to that program was years ago, so it can't deal with some of the newer DRM schemes studios have come up with since. If you run into a disc that you can't rip with DVD Decrypter, you'll need to get something like AnyDVD too. AnyDVD is updated all the time to deal with new DRM - it will circumvent the DRM on the DVD before mounting it. Then you can either use AnyDVD's built-in ripping utility to rip the disc, or DVD Decrypter if you prefer (I still use it because I like to just rip the main movie as one big file instead of ISOing the whole disc).
