First I must say that I'm not in any way representing this
project. This is just my own thought.

1) Did you bought some 'support' contract I didn't noticed ? Did you
wrote something for this project ? Why on earth do you think you have
the right to ask "us" to do something for you ???

2) I'm really annoyed by people who openly refuse to at least try to
understand what's going on. They just want a "one button" solution
without trying a single second to search and do a small bit of
homework. I won't wrote anything for these people.
If they want everything pre-cooked, let's them use windows. Point. (*)

Why do you think I have time to do something FOR YOU ? Do you really
think I have no other desire than to serve your little needs ?

So you have at least some knowledge on this topic. And you ask US to
write something. WHY DON'T YOU WRITE THIS HOWTO YOURSELF ? You don't
want ? How selfish you are ... You see ?

(*) Oh, btw, did you notice that to do a good DVD rip on windows you
need at the very least more softwares than I could count on my two
hands ?
