Ripping DVDS

[agentsmith101]

How do you do it? I wanna rip a (legit) dvd I have of family guy to my hard drive? Does the quality get compromised much? I have a 5500oc.

DVD Shrink.

Yes, if you want it to fit on a regular single layer DVD-/+R, you will lose some quality.

You can remove extras, etc., though, to keep the quality as high as possible.


I've been ripping the Buffy TV series from a friend, & to preserve the quality, i've been putting two episodes per DVD-R rather than normal 4.

a 'ripped' disc is normally the quality of satellite tv, it's compressed but unless you are critical you won't notice.

I back up all my dvds and cds, my cats love to eat them, the toilet paper, open all the drawers in the house, etc...

There was one dvd I didn't even get a chance to watch and they destroyed the original and copy.

Personally though (I have a 19" monitor) I'd rather burn to dvd and watch on my regular system...even not neffing.

Not all discs need compression to fit onto a DVD5 disc. There are a lot that can fit on a DVD5 by removing all the extra crap. Some only require 10% compression, others much more.

still..compressions compression. dvd video tends to be borderline in the first place.

true also...a few discs (older mostly) will do nicely just decrypted.

Thanks for listing this. I was looking for something like this as well, I had been using TIVO to burn DVD copies and it was ridiculous.

WTF are all you clowns talking about? He wants to rip it to his HDD, so why should it be compressed?

Also, try DVD Decrypter...

at 6-8GB for modern DVDS you aren't fitting much on the HD. I own all mine, I'd love to have them just stored on HD, but even with 420GB I can't (I take a lot of digipix which I do store on HD, and funny downloaded stuff).

You usually have to DVD Decrypt then DVD Shrink.

I really wish my computer could store everything I own.

I'm just going by the OP, which is an unusual thing to do around here, I know...

Can you link that up, read it to me, download it for me, and come over and install it for me? While you're here, could you maybe show me how to use it? Oh, and pick up some DVD-R's on the way over?
