Did this one have the same problems as Transformers? Will DVD Decrypter / DVD Shrink suffice?
i used AnyDVD just to be on the safe side, so no drift or delay problems on my end.

Yeah I am going to get Anydvd soon just don't have the extra $50 right now. Which is why I was hoping someone might have tried it without.

I highly doubt DVD Decrypter can handle this given it hasn't been developed in 4 years and Start Trek uses the brand new XProtect copy protection.
I used DVDFab Decrypter (6.2.0.5 - http://www.dvdfab.com/download.htm) because I don't have a registered version or non-expired trial of AnyDVD. And yes, there is the exact same audio sync issue as there was with Trans 2.
For the U.S./Canada Region 1 DVD:
- Launch DVDFab and access the Preferences by clicking on the green check mark in the upper-right portion of the DVD Fab window. Click on the "Preview" subcategory under the "General" category and uncheck "Show preview window automatically." Next, click on the "PathPlayer" subcategory under the "DVD/Blu-ray" category and select "Disable PathPlayer". Click "OK".
- Restart DVDFab and insert the DVD. A region code dialog appears, click "OK".
- After DVDFab recognizes the DVD, choose "Main Movie" from the list on the left. This will display a long list of titles. Locate #21 and select it. It should indicate a Play Time of 2:06:46 (NOTE: Your final video file will actually be closer to 02:06:51).
- Make your audio track/subtitle choices on the left side of the window. Next, using the drop-down menu at the lower portion of the window, select "DVD5" or "DVD9" depending on whether or not you want compression.
- Click "Next" button and, on the following screen, click the "Start" button.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DVDFAB will throw an error soon after it starts ripping but just click "Ignore" and let it finish.
Now for the fun part! There is a two-second discrepancy between the ripped video file and audio file. There's a pretty easy fix for it.
- Convert the AC3 file to a WAV.
- Open the WAV in Audacity (or another audio editor of your choice).
- Add exactly 2 seconds of silence at the very beginning of the track (In Audacity, its: Generate > Silence).
- Export WAV and convert to AC3.
Hope that helps.
Nuts. I am going to have to get a full version of AnyDVD.

It's funny. Right after I posted those instructions, I though to myself: "You know, I think it's probably time to plunk down the cash for AnyDVD."
Especially since DVDFab recently announced that their free version will never crack XProtect.
i just went on usenet and grabbed a posted DVDr. I already paid for it on Blu-ray so this is how i will justify downloading the pirated rip!
I had zero problems. AnyDVD works really well and I feel justified in my purchasing of it.
I am sure I will get Any DVD at some point. Especially if this X-Protect becomes widely used.
XProtect must not be all that hot since I can confirm that DVD Shrink can directly rip the Star Trek DVD. From there you can mount the iso with a virtual drive such as MagicIso and use DVD Decrypter to rip the streams.

What settings did you use on DVD Shrink? (and which version of the software did you use?) I'm getting error messages when I am trying that.
