problems with copying dvd's

[capgeo]

I'm new to all of this, so I'm in the learning process. I ordered the software Icopydvds2v4.0 and the dvdfor free ripper. I've had nothing but problems. I managed to get past the css error with the ripper, but then after the dvd was about 50% copied I'd get a message that said encrypted data and then just hang there. Now when I click on copy it says it copies the 2 hour dvd in about 5 seconds, but it is really not doing anything. Does anyone have any ideas, is it just the software icopydvds2? Any thought would be appreciated, I'm going crazy here??
