DVD rip software

any video guru's out there.

i would like to contribute not only in the pics section(which I am) but i have several DVD's, but I need a program to RIP a DVD to the harddrive. I have searched, but I'm in need of some help.

after a movie get's to the harddrive could i use nero or ashampoo to change the format.

thanks for all the help!!!

 

I'd Like to now how to change the DVD format to mpeg or Divx.
I can convert to a DVD format, but not from a DVD format.

Have you looked at this thread?

 

i've been there and looked, even contributed ....i just don't know what program to look for to rip the dvd to the hard drive..

tommyUK-
i know nero will change your files...

 

To rip a DVD to a harddrive I use DVD Shrink, it's freeware.

(can I post the link here, apologies if I've broken a rule)

 

thanks, did not know it was freeware...you should post it in the programs thread in the general forum

 

Dvd shrink is good, but a lot of them are copy protected and dvdshrink wont be able to copy them. Go to http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ and download dvd decrypter. It is shareware and it can tackle any dvd you throw at it!

 

if dvd shrink can't unlock it, use DVD decrypter. It's another free program, just google it and you should be able to find it. When I copy DVD's I use DVD decrypter to get the video files then I shrink them with DVD shrink, followed by a burn with nero. As for getting to your HD in a playable format, I can't help ya there, but I remember this being answered somewhere. Don't give up sailor!

 

wow, too much trouble. i just use the most up to date version of dvd shrink, i burned over 500 of my own dvd copy protected movies, only needed to use dvd decrypter once.
