After reading this great article over at lifehacker I was amazed at the number of programs available to rip/encocode/decode/burn DVD's. I have decided to piggy back off the comments from the lifehacker article and post a list of programs to rip/encode/decode/burn DVD's so that you don't have to hunt for them on the internet. I will try to bunch them accoring to their function (decoder/burner, etc). If you know of any other ripper/burner I did not list, feel free to comment and ill add it to the list.

Ripping/Decrypting DVD's

DVD Shrink

DVDFab HD Decryption (Blu-Ray & HD support)

MacTheRipper (for Macs)

K9Copy (for Linux)

I was struggling with this issue for quite some time and could not seem to resolve it. I was trying to install Adobe Acrobat Version 6 on my laptop and every time I attempted to install it I received the "Error 1606.Could not access network location..." First off I was not installing over the network, so the first thing that came to mind was a faulty disc. I contacted Adobe support and they sent me over to the Microsoft site stating it was an OS problem. After hours of trying the different "fixes" available I was ready to give up when I found a post by a frustrated Acrobat user in the Adobe forums. I tried his recommendation and it worked! I have posted this quick little guide that will help you bypass all of the supposed "fixes" online and lead you to the one that works.

There are so many ways you can download videos from YouTube, I will be using iDesktop.tv, my preferred method of downloading and browsing videos from YouTube. With this tutorial I will show you how to download the YouTube video, save it as .MOV file, and then convert it using iTunes so that your iPod can play it. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know.

1. Go to iDesktop.tv [this site will let you browse all of the videos available on YouTube but in a simplified manner.]

2. Find the video you would like to download, and click the download link.

If you've ever encountered a download that is formatted as a UIF file there are two things you need to be aware of;

1. Ensure you trust the source of this file. At times people maliciously insert viruses and other files that may damage and compromise your PC's security.

2. In order for you to use these files you have to go through several steps before you can even view the contents.

The how-to below will list step-by-step what it is that you need to do in order to use these files. If you know of any other way or any other programs that may simplify the process, please let it be known. If you have questions or comments feel free to let me know.
