Not long ago, I was trying to convert a movie from the DVD I borrowed from one of my friends to MP4 format so that I can play it on my MP4 player. However, it didn’t work, although I tried a DVD Ripper. I cannot figure out what is wrong until I turned to one of my friend who is really good at those things for help. He told me that this DVD must be encrypted. So I asked him what I should do, and is there any solution. He recommend me to try Leawo Blu ray Ripper. He said it can solve my problem because it can decrypt CSS encrypted DVDs. I tried, and guess what, it really worked.

From the description of it, I learn that this Blu ray Ripper not only can decrypt and convert CSS encrypted DVDs, but also can decrypt and convert Blu-ray disc with MKB level ranged from 0 – 19 and with AACS and BD+ protection. The output format of the DVD or Blu-ray movies can be both common and HD video formats such as AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MOV, MKV, RMVB, MTS, M2TS, etc. After the conversion, we can transfer these movies to media players and mobile devices like iPhone, iPod, iPad, PSP, PS3, Apple TV, Zune, Xbox 360, Blackberry, Archos, Creative Zen, etc.. And it has some video edit functions, for instance, we can cut off the black edges from the movies so that we can watch them in full screen, and we can also trim the movies to any length we want. In addition, we can adjust the video effect by dragging the slider of Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation. And we can even add picture or text watermark to the movies. Well, if you want to learn further about this Blu ray Ripper, just click the words with links.

The motivation that drives me to write this article is that as Thanksgiving Day is coming, I know that you may want to convert the movies you would like to watch during Thanksgiving Day with your family to other formats so that it is more convenient for you to play, and you may encounter the same problem. Therefore, I write down my experience and solutions so that it may be helpful to you.

In 2009 the actual question is your Dynamics GP or Great Plains ERP version.  If you are on Dynamics GP 10.0 or 9.0, then you can enjoy deploying eConnect or eConnect Runtime to program ecommerce integration directly in your Microsoft Visual Studio C# or VB.Net projects.  There is some chance, however, that if you are reading these lines – you are on older Great Plains Dynamics GP version: 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 or earlier or even on Great Plains on Pervasive SQL Server or Ctree.  In old Great Plains Dynamics you have to program Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedures or automate Great Plains Integration Manager Integration to work every 10 minutes or so.  Let’s review the scenarios.  Again, real life could be more complex, and there you need to call our office to get your case reviewed:

1.       eConnect.  This Software Development Kit, or in essence stack of interface calling technologies, based on SQL encrypted stored procedures, is available to you if you are on Dynamics GP 10.0 and also with some restrictions if you are on Great Plains Dynamics GP 9.0.  If you are on older Dynamics GP versions, econnect was in progress of being developed at the time, and it is up to you to try to deploy it – we recommend you to upgrade to Dynamics GP 10.0 and then work on eConnect integration programming

2.       SQL Stored Procedures Approach.  If eConnect is not an option for you, this means that you are on historical Dynamics GP Great Plains version, then you should consider direct SQL scripting to develop your ecommerce integration.  This job is really hard and prone to multiple data integrity errors and probes.  If you are experienced MS SQL Server DBA and you feel like you are ready to learn new MRP and ERP application, Microsoft Dynamics GP – including its data flow scenarios, and your job is secured for the next few years, then go ahead and try SQL Stored Procedures programming to accomplish Dynamics GP Great Plains integration project

3.       Pervasive SQL and Ctree.  These are really archaic versions, and if you have to commit to those older Great Plains platforms, please consider creative solutions, such as importing data to Great Plains tables via Microsoft SQL Server linked server constructions.  If you are doing direct Great Plains data repair, use Microsoft Access with ODBC connection to GP tables via linked tables technique

Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP, or former name for this accounting application is Great Plains Dynamics.  With the competition increase, especially with the introduction of such small and mid-size business ERP as SAP Business One, Microsoft Business Solutions changes the licensing schema.  Now you can get so-called Business Ready license, where most of the Great Plains Dynamics GP modules are included.  Historically, however small GP customers are on Great Plains Dynamics GP Standard, where you had to pay for each module separate.  Of course, this paper is our unofficial opinion, based on our relations with existing Great Plains customers:

1.       GP Business Ready advantages.  If you have company growth and now you are looking forward to implement such Great Plains modules as Manufacturing, Collection Management, Fixed Assets, Multicurrency, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing and others, you may benefit from the switch, especially considering relatively low cost to switch.  Consider the situation, when you currently have very basic Great Plains modules set: General Ledger, Payables Management, Receivables Management – that’s all, and you need additional functionality for your growing and becoming more complicated business processes

2.       Be defensive.  If you are staying with the same number of transactions in Great Plains Dynamics GP, then, you probably should stay with the GP Standard or Module based pricing.  New modules available through Business Ready program would not help you out or contribute to your current business processes, we assume that MRP and Manufacturing is not your specialization

3.       Manufacturing or Discrete Production.  In the case if you are in Manufacturing business, you may definitely win in switching to Great Plains Dynamics GP Business Ready licensing.  We assume that you are currently using inventory control and GP bill of materials modules to cover your Manufacturing business processes

4.       Annual Enhancement, DeLuxe support plans cost comparison.  If you are on Modules based model, then if you switch to Business Ready, you should calculate the cost of annual enhancement program, which you will have to pay each year to be enrolled into the program.  Typically switching to Business Ready license increases the annual support cost
