DVD Ripping

hi, im looking for a good simple to use DVD ripping software, i want to rip DVD's to my hard drive on my laptop so that i cam watch them on the move without loads of disks. i have veen searching for this software but the programs i have downlaoded have been S*^T or too complicated. i also would like the files to be as small as possible to save room on my hard drive.

can anyone suggest any programs that are free that enables me to do this in ease?

DVD Decrypter

DVD Shrink

ONLY back up your personal movies that you OWN!

 

DVDFab Decrypter

 

Both of the above programs are great, but are designed to rip the DVD & only compress it to the point it'll fit onto a blank DVD...making the resulting movie approx 4.7GB in size.

If you want to make the movie as small as possible, you'd be better off to rip it into Divx format. You lose a little video quality (not much), but you can get most movies down to about 700MB...small enough to fit on a regular CD-R.

I don't know of any free ones off-hand, but this program is only like $7.00 to register:

DVDX 2.3

 

He said he was going to keep them on his harddrive, so I assumed size wasn't an issue. I dont know how low you can go with Shrink, but I imagine you can get it pretty low. Wavetar is right though, rip them into Divx format.

 

Personaly do this alot and i used so many different programs and went through before i got it right i found using dvd shrink without compressing then using ddr 1.2 to change them into divx.

 

Shrink can get movies down to under 700mbs. So, you may just want to use that, as it's easy and user friendly.

 

And screw copyright they make enough money as it is when the price comes down i will start paying the dirty rotten scum bags again.

 

I've never tried it, but can it possibly be good resolution at 700MB while keeping the DVD .vob format?

 

I have no idea. I have never tried it either. Maybe it's setup so when it's gets past a certain size it changes format...I have no idea

 

of course ;-)
