DVD Decrypter breaks DVD-V encryption. But DVD-A was designed with more secure encryption. If it had actually become popular, some hacker may have tried to break it. But with a couple hundred titles out, it remains secure. Sort of like SACD. Never reached a critical mass to interest pirates.What the original questioner is missing is that both SACD and DVD-A were designed from the ground up to be unrippable. The record companies like to blame most of their problems on the fact that everyone with a computer can copy CDs. Maybe it has hurt them, maybe it hasn't. But they hate it.
So in introducing new audio formats, they made sure that ripping to a computer was very difficult. Their hope was to grab market share with a secure format and start the hard transition back to controlling their content again. But they didn't grab much market share.
So SACD and DVD-A remain secure. As an above poster said, if you have a DVD-A without copy protection and without MLP, then yes, you can rip it and probably compress into a flac format. But that's a small minority of DVD-As, hardly seems worth the trouble.
