[Ravenous itchy]

I've never tried ripping, but I burn from downloaded rips.

[solidus]

[saturnine]

what's to discuss? and what's to agree with? it's 100% legal.

[brandon]

i rip dvds to make personal backup copies of my own dvds that i have purchased.

 

yay. that way when my family members want to watch my dvds, they won't muck em all up.

[Jarrod]

*sigh* i dunno how...

[anitanium]

i ripped in a coma DVD so i can keep the original DVD in MINT* condition ;)

Just a, "Quick Question"

 

In your opinion what is the best app for ripping a DVD?

I use Mac The Ripper, but my Caluclus prof would like to "back up" some movies on his PC.

I have no idea what to recommend...

[S.E. Hardy]

I've been trying to find a (free) program that lets me burn ripped DVD's back onto DVD... I want to make trailers for movies for fun, and this is the only way I can think of that I can get the footage with decent quality into my final cut program...

[anitanium]

i use Smartripper to get every file off the DVD

 

then i just burn the files onto a DVD as a datadisc

DVD players read them fine

Thanks!

Yeah, a data disk is all you need. Just put the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS on there, make sure the name of the disk is in all caps and _ . You're good to go, I still like to check with a dvd-rw first though.

 

Note: Usually has to be a Dual-layer burner/disk. If the files are too big to fit on a single layer you'll need something like 'Roxio Popcorn.'

dvd decrypter and dvd shrink work amazingly well together

[strummer]

I use DVD2ONE, with anydvd to get rid of copyright.

If I had a dual layer burner I might...but right now i dont. And im too poor to afford DVDs.

You know, DVD's are down to around 30-50 cents each. A spool of 50 costs $20-25 and are often on sale for $10-15.

 

Dual-layer, on the other hand, are $3-5 per DVD ;).

That would be why the regular DVD's are getting so cheap

I download and burn movies all the time. But I never tried ripping... Doesn't that take a whole lot of time and space?

Depends on what you are doing... If you are just ripping them to keep on your computer, yeah it's a waste of time. If your friend wants to borrow a dvd, and you know they are not the most careful when it comes to dvd care, you just burn a copy of it for them. Rip-Burn-Delete
