Rob Glaser, RealNetworks CEO, hasn’t had a lot of winners lately so we bet the idea of helping you copy your Hollywood DVD sounded like a great way to strike it rich…again.

And to ensure you hear about his offer he chose to sue Hollywood before they sue him for his RealDVD copying, backup, archiving, ripping, whatever software. Nice quiet way to deliver the message!

Sounds great. The $30 software lets you rip a DVD movie to your computer hard drive.  read more »

RealNetworks just announced RealDVD, a PC application that lets consumers legally save their DVDs to a PC or portable hard drive and watch them later without using the actual discs. Unlike existing applications, RealDVD is licensed DVD software that saves a secure copy of a DVD to the hard drive without removing or altering the CSS encryption. Laptop users will be pleased because the disc drive is no longer needed...which means better battery life when you're out on the road!

RealDVD will be available later this month from www.realdvd.com. Register to be one of the first to receive RealDVD and get a limited-time discount offer of $29.99 ($20.00 off the retail price of $49.99). Up to 4 additional licenses are available at a discounted price of $19.99.
