DVDDecrypter tool is the one best tool to decrypt the rip movie to orignal format, it enables you to decrypt and copy DVDs to your HD. It also demultiplex DVD to separate audio, video and subtitle streams. It can also make DVD images and burn DVD and CD images. It is free available on the website. check that and reply if you found an issue.

I am using DVDfab Platinum from DVDfab website. it costs around $49.00 US but it’ is well worth the price because of the many exporting options it has. It allow me to rip just the main movie, removing all the trailers and commentary that I never watch anyway and saving a lot of space in the process. This software is also convert movie format to different device format. Free demo version is also available on website.

I am also using DVDfab Platinum for rip all my movies to vob files. We can also n trans code the files, shrink the file sizes down with Divx, Xvid. I can also shrink movies sizes from 4 to 8 gigs down to as low as 500 megs. I suggest you to use this for media center and reply how was the experience. Best of Luck.
