RCE Region:
If MacTheRipper displays "DISC RCE: CLEAR" after scanning the DVD, you can leave the option to OFF status.
If MacTheRipper displays "DISC RCE: -DETECTED-", you must set the option to the region in which the DVD was purchased.
De-Macrovision: Allow you to record your DVDs straight to VCR, or connect the DVD player through a VCR without getting a bunch of wavy lines. This is enabled by default.
