Handbrake is the best, Requires VLC since the latest release, but that's free too. It uses ffmpeg, so you get incredible compression.

thanks guys, i downloaded one from that link ynot gave before i saw your post ninja, i might check handbrake out though.

It entirely depends on what you're trying to do 1) Copy a DVD Rip the copy protection & region coding out of a DVD and burn it back to a blank disk then use DVD Decrypter or FabDVD and burn it back to a disk using any decent DVD authoring program 2) Encode to XviD / H.264 Rip the DVD, and encode it to an MPEG video Then use Handbrake

all i want to do is have my dvd saved on my hard drive. right now im ripping daredevil

[ninja9578]

Use Handbrake. H.264 encoding is the best out there, and iTunes is the best out there for it.

Just pay for the DVD's to help make sure the people who make DVD's will keep making DVD's.

He has the DVD in his hand, so it's already bought & paid for he wants to rip it onto his machine (media centre? portable video player? backup / archive?) Nought wrong with ripping DVD's I do it all the time A lot of people don't want little plastic discs not for music not for movies

I think second-class remakes of classics, crappy sequels designed to cash in on a good original and rehashed storylines that barely venture on new territory are a bigger threat than one man and his vob ripper.... the music and film industry are killing themselves

[Ynot]

Oh, and the movie industry complaining about pirates is a little hypocritical, to say the least Hollywood started as "pirate" film production group who refused to pay the patent licenses imposed by Edison for his inventions - the moving picture camera and celluloid film

[ninja9578]

Hollywood has plenty of money. A little bit of piracy is no big deal. Also, iTunes sells movies for like 3.99, DVDs cost like 9.99. Do you really think that the little piece of plastic costs 4.00 to make? Guess again, they make them for about a nickel apiece.

It's the large numbers of "one man" that could be a problem. I guess it hasn't crashed the industry yet. I hope things don't get worse. It's not Hollywood I am concerned about. I hope every film corporation in that plastic town goes out of business. They are an insult to art itself. (There are exceptions, of course, but I felt like venting.) It is the independent film makers that concern me. It is very hard to get a quality movie made without getting in good with big Hollywood corporations. I commend those who pull it off, especially since they are the people who seem more obsessed with artistic quality than money. I don't want the independent artists turning their backs on what they are great at because they can't get independent financial backing any more.
