DVDRip

This module allows you to rip a DVD from within Showshifter, and also has the option to delete current rips. It requires DVDDecrypter for the ripping, and will ask for it the first time you try to rip. It also needs a place to store rips, which can be changed with the Change folder button. It defaults to "C:\" (as everyone should have a C:\ drive) but you probably want to change that.

Anyone else I missed (send an email if you think you should be acknowledged)
 

To Do:

• Automatically update display when a DVD is inserted
• Check that the drive is ready before updating Title on refresh (this is a slowdown issue)
• Fix bug where if CD Module is enabled a DVD has to be in the drive on startup for the DVDRip Module to recognise that a disc is a DVD. (This may be a Showshifter bug, as when the CD Module is enabled and a DVD is inserted only after Showshifter starts, it comes up asking to scan CDROM for Video files, not to play a DVD movie, as it should. Then again, it may just be a problem with my setup.)
