I use dvdbackup, and it's not as good as DVD Decrypter.  If you have a good
DVD, dvdbackup works great.  If, however, you have enough scratches or other
damage to cause bad sectors, dvdbackup barfs and errors out.  DVD Decryptor,
on the other hand, keeps going and replaces the bad sectors (with zeros, I
think), so you can at least get all the readable info off your DVD
(important when you have 2 year old twins who have figured out the eject
button on the DVD player!).

It annoys me I have to use a windows program to 'rescue' my damaged DVDs,
but I have yet to find anything on linux that handles read errors effectively.
