Yes DVD Decrypter has the ability to remove the copy protection from commercial movies, but we're not intending to make use of those facilities here. More important is its ability to read the IFO file, and extract the DVDR recordings that you have made, as a single MPEG2 file.

To deal with your sepcific questions:

1) Yes; copy the individual recorded programs to your computer using DVD Decrypter. If you find PowerProducer cumbersome then don't use it for the moment.

2) Yes; DVD Decrypter works with DVD-RAM. If I remember correctly, the file extensions are named differently (as .VRO or something).

3) I am not familiar with VobBlanker so can't help you there.
