Hello,

Well, the title of this post says it all.  From now until September 30, 2009, you may download what is normally a 25 USD Windows based DVD ripper for free. 

Just so we’re clear, this application allows you to rip, clone, and/or convert commercial, DRM protected, DVDs into virtually every form of popular, unprotected, format including those used on Apple and Windows Mobile portable devices.  What’s even better is that this application does it all in one step.

Happy Ripping,

Mark
