Hello.  
To add to 7thsingers fine advice, if u see anyone selling or requiring a membership fee to get a newer (updated) dvd shrink past 3.2.0.15 they are LYING and only trying to rip u off. Beware! Dvd shrink was and is freeware!

Hello.  
@punkdogIf you have been using PGCEdit then try the new program RipIt4Me. It incorporates this program in it to import the PSL files then it will rip with Decrypter and FixVTS will clean your file. It will do all the new protection including this movie. Checkout the guide/examples and software [RipIt4Me..Quick Reference Guide | AfterDawn Discussion Forums](http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110)

I’m guessing you’re not from Detroit, right? I’m sure it’s fun to joke about what an awful shithole Detroit is, judging by how many people do it. But it wears REALLY goddamned thin when it’s your hometown being shit on over and over and over and over.\*

Hurrhurr, I’ll make a joke connecting some negative aspect of a city to Detroit! Get it??? Because Detroit sucks!! Hurrhurr! Man, no one will expect this creativity and level of hilarity!

- like my old car that was a lameass POS. Sure, I knew it was a POS and an occasional joke was fine, but more than that was rude as all shit. Shut the fuck up about my car! It may be a POS but it’s MY DAMNED POS.

No, but I’m from Arkansas. I here shit about my home state all the time. I don’t try to defend it, unless they make a comment about the people, and then I just point out that we’re not all that way.

Arkansas is often a shitty place, and, apparently, so is Detroit. You think someone referring to [various places](http://www.google.com/search?q=%22the+arkansas+of+canada%22) as the Arkansas of Canada upsets me?
