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.
After installing DVD43 and you'll see a little yellow smiley
happy face in your tray icon bar.
It shows 0/6 dvd drives. One DVD-ROM drive, one DVD burner and
four virtual dvd drives with daemon tools.

change colors to green. Now you can start using a commericial DVD transcoding
program without having to rip it first to the harddrive thus saving you
valuable time.

Using PowerDVD to play back my video files I got this screen which means
RCE protected.
Easiest way to remove RCE protection is to rip with DVDDecrypter
Open DVDDecrypter | Tools | Settings | General RCE Protection Region set the region to the one you live
in. Example: if in USA set to 1.
Verify that Remove IFO/BUP RCE Protection is checked
If you ripped / processed directly from DVDFAB or DVDShrink Full-Disk
mode you may need to remove RCE protection.
Follow the steps 1, 2 and 3. Select your VIDEO_TS Folder and patch it.
Another method is to use DVDDecrypter
Open DVDDecrypter | Tools | IFO | Region Information Select a VIDEO_TS.IFO file to verify it has
RCE protection
Tools | IFO | Region Patch | Region Free
Select all .IFO files in the folder by holding down CTRL
"VTS_04_0.IFO" "VTS_01_0.IFO" "VTS_02_0.IFO"
"VTS_03_0.IFO" "VIDEO_TS.IFO"
