Hi Lan,

If you reread Mark's post he _did_ address this, in the two lines  
I've quoted above.

Whilst one might not care about losing last week's episode of  
$SITCOM, in removing the encryption and recompressing with a more  
efficient codec (including trial-and-error to see the results with  
different settings) one might spend a lot of time ripping one's own  
DVDs or Blu-Ray disks to hard-drive. Cough, cough, downloaded movies,  
mumble.
