Ripping DVD's - requesting some help

[xboxist]

Hello. I've never really delved into the whole audio/video realm as far as PC's go. What I have here is my first DVD-rom, and I'm clueless as to how to take my DVD movies, and rip them into playable files on my hard disk. What do I need software-wise? PowerDVD came with it... if that matters at all. I think that's just a player though...

Thanks in advance!

Jay

Simple mistake.

And thank you Damage for giving the problem link.

Actually, you were right with your original link. For some reason their site was a little messed up though.

I'm pretty sure you can do whatever you want with media that you've paid for as long as you're not distributing it to others in some way. Like, making MP3s from tracks on CDs you own would be fine. Or making SNES ROMs from game cartridges you own...
