Good luck and hopefully your DVD drive will survive it ;)

After long tests, i choosed (year ago) Alcohol 120% as the ripping tool,
because it produced most number of working backup copies and makes them
fast.

However, if the safedisc image will work most depends on DVD drive. Again
from personal test of 5 bought drives Samsung SH-S223F is winner for
me.

And for loading such image under linux i use http://www.cdemu.org so
mounting an image is done by:

cdemu load 0 my_image.mds
cdemu unload 0 my_image.mds

This SW need a kernel module, so it's not easy as other tools, but the
reward is, you can SafeDisc/SecuROM working without needing a crack
(of course the image have to firstly work under WinXP and wine have
to support such protection like SecuROM v7.30.0014).

Unfortunately SecuROM v7.27.0014 doen't work in wine, because of "Unsupported
ioctl 2d0c04", but bug 20935 Anastasius how to overcome, but i don't
know where to put the heck 0.


So if wisotool would support "cdemu load", that would be tool even for
me ;)

I just tested Bioshock under windows 7 with Alcohol 120%, and got it
to install with a couple emulation settings. Rebooting to Ubuntu +
cdemu, it worked as well, if 'DPM emulation' is enabled (I was very
pleasantly surprised)!

Time permitting, I'll try to add it to wisotool soon.
