Very nice Alex.

One major change I would suggest is that you replace DVDDecrypter with ImgBurn. Because DVDDecrypter will break the strongest encryption on copyrighted DVDs it is a banned application on many forums as they have been threatened with prosecution if they continue to host it. We do not want to put TSF in jeopardy of possible prosecution however small that possibility may be. This article may explain the position better.

For the nosey parkers...ALL the images in Alex's article are to be replaced, as ½ of them are missing, and he has given me a new set to work with, so I'll watermark them while I'm doing the format.



EDIT by Donald:
Due to Chauffeur2's absence, all images have now been received by DonaldG and processed in posting #5 below.
