Thread: Looking for a DVD to computer program

I would like to Copy DVD movies to my coputer but dont know the software to do it. I dont want to burn the movies again to make copies but just want to use the movie material to make Music Videos. I like making MV, its like a nice hobby, and I'm quite good at it too. Check me out in "youtube". But the vids I have are crappy downloads of sharing programs. I want to use my DVD movies for a better quality.

Anyone recomend a good program that will copy DVD movies and give you the choice in converting the movie into an mpg, mpeg, avi, and ext.

DVDDecrypter is pretty good for ripping them, to your hard drive and it's free. You might also want to consider buying a package like Ulead Video Studio, I've been using it for about 5 years now and it's only $99.

Decrypter is free, just download of the website. cool. its not a trail is it?

Handbrake is the standard. Just google it, it's free. It's been on the Mac for some time and I use it exclusively for DVD ripping, but they recently released a port to the PC. It features multiple formats (including H.264,) you can limit it by size, bitrate, and a few others. It has presets for Apple TV, iPod, and iPhone, plus you can make your own. Creates chapter markers, and allows for two pass encoding.

Sorry guys its not working for me. Decrypter is no more, I got something similar but it just copies the dvd data onto your harddrive plus its only in french, I flunked that class. And they're still .vob files, no good there and then I tried hand brake and it converts them to mp4 but nothing in my computer handles that, avi files looked good but wouldn't even play anywhere not even on a divX player. and I dont know what that other one is.

I think I'm just going to wait until I buy some software, this free stuff isn't working. Until then I'm giving up on it. Thanks for all the help!

Yea i heard Ulead video is nice
