Reply to: which DVD rip application ?

[Platypus]

right folks, I've given dvdshrink a go and it spot on, the only issue I've had is one DVD failed to write to iso as it said it was copyrighted ?

How do I get around that ?

(1) DVDdecrypter - rip the whole disk's ISO image to your hard-drive
(2) DVDshrink - rip the movie from the above image and squash to 4.3Gb ISO file
(3) Burn image to DVD

I never use Shrink to do my ripping and writing in one step, it just doesn't seem reliable when used that way.

CloneDvD with AnyDvD

DvDSanta is pretty straight forward too

Thanks fivetimes, just what I was looking for

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for using DVDshrink?

Remember, I'm handy on a PC as a user, not technically.

I've downloaded a couple of films to try it, but can't get it to recognise them

DVDShrink is pretty good.

I concur.

DVDDecrypter is quite good too.

Is DVDShrink windows only? Is there a similar program for Mac X?

Dvdrip.

I am told you can run DVDShrink with Wine in Winux, but never was successful.

Also DeeVeeDee is good for creating the finished product. Create an ISO using DeeVeeDee, then burn this to disk using Brasero.

All successful in Ubuntu 8.

I use DVD Decrypter, would like it if it could produce an AVI directly though.

What is the best free application for ripping DVD's ?

Needs to be compatible with vista and XP.

I tried to torrent cloneDVD last night but the blasted thing was riddled with trojans.


Thanks in advance.

CloneDVD with AnyDVD here - definitely worth persevering with.

Been using both on XP for years.
However it is not free.
Costed about $30US when I bought them

Handbrake used to do the whole thing, but they removed the functionality to decrypt DVDs about 6 months ago. Now you need to use MacTheRipper (To get a video_TS folder) & Handbrake (to compress to your favourite format) combined.

OSX DVD player will open and play a Video_TS folder.
