where to get flask MPEG? all the links won't get me it.

[Rigoletto]

it's a DVD ripper to MPEG-4

 

[UberNeuman]

Rumor has it that it can be found.................

 

[LocutusX]

There's absolutely nothing illegal about it since it doesn't have any of the DeCSS code.

 

[Xe0n]

ya, flask mpeg doesnt actually rip, you need to have decrypted vob files to use it, it just converts

 

[pdo]

Then just go straight to their home page.

 

[wolf550e]

its not a ripper, huh? well i have seen a FlaskMPEG DeCSS version of it, which reads a DVD nicely and makes a MPEG4 DivX movie out of it, bypassing the encryption/protection... wit, where did i see this? oh, it was my Desktop! oops, i have said i own illegal ripping software...

 

[Rigoletto]

No, these links won't work and they look familiar too.
Looks like the lawyers nobbled them.

 

[Praetor]

I think they did integrate CSS decryption at one time, and with the whole fuss over the legality of it, distribution was supposed to have stopped.

Keyword supposed.

Long live DeCSS!!! To hell with the MPAA. I'm a big fan of unrestricted capitalism, but the MPAA has twisted the copyright laws to their own ends and upset the balance of interests between producers and consumers of digital content.

Bad luck to those idiot lawyers trying to rid the internet of DeCSS.

What's the big deal? The Flask MPEG homepage works perfectly. Even the file download links. BTW The author of Flask (Flasky) never included the DeCSS code in his program - but since it's an open source program, someone else went ahead and integrated DeCSS and started distributing it. There are actually quite a few derivatives of Flask... there's one particularly good version which is speed-optimized. About 30 to 50% faster on an Athlon or Pentium 3.

 

[xtreme2k]

where to get the speed optimised version of flask?
i want it

If anybody has Flask w/ the DeCSS converter, could ya hit me up with a copy of it by chance? Lemme know cause I only have the Un DeCSSed version...(damned lawyers...damned government...)

 

[office boy]

DeCSS isn't that great of a ripper anyway. Your better off with VOBDEC, and then grab a GUI for it

 

[LocutusX]

I believe you can get all the Flask derivations at Digital Digest.

thats cool! Heres the prob...I'm kinda new to this rippin DVD thing....I could overclock a vacuum cleaner, make a furnace run cool...But rip? 'Bout the only thing I can rip is cloth at this point. So, if anyone has a good site with info about how to /theory as well as files sites, that would be most awesome

 

[office boy]

Here's a nice little list of utilities to use for ripping.
And if you make'm like this everyone will love them.
andthis is a nice little how to do everything and why article. (warning it is on a slow site)

 

[LocutusX]

As I mentioned above, Digital-Digest is a good site for newbies.

Digital Digest

From there you can go to DVD Digest, or DivX Digest. Choose DivX.
