Digitizing my DVD movie collection

[Celery]

You raised an interesting question so I looked it up.

turns out that I was circumventing the copy protection to rip my DVDs. Yep, time to purge the drive and use it for something else.

At least I still have the DVDs so no problem.

Well shit! I uninstalled all the DVD ripping programs and my DVD drive disappeared with them.

What a headache. I had to delete all reference to DVD drive in the Registry and Device Manager. Uninstalling the devices doesn't work so I had to go in there and hand pick the elements.
