hello guys,
am after a good dvd ripper.
ok ok i am aware of copywrite laws n all but i av so many, taking to much place. gota backup n give them away!
wat do u suggest? n how do i then convert them to smaller files?
tried my 1st dvd using anydvd. but the size of my hdd was 7gb. i need to b able to convert them so they take reasonable space.
any sugestion?

DVD shrink works well IMHO

Or RatDVD works well and you can play the output files in most media players

how would u rip it in a different format when using dvd shrink?
when i tried doing it using that i came up wiv errors due to the copywrite i reckon.

I've never had that problem

I just put dvd in, open prog select open disk and back up, it does the rest for you, writing this from memory so might be a bit vague, what dvd are you trying to back up ??

dvd decrypter is old and wary now as it has not been updated for a good while and encryption has thats why now I have to recommend dvdfab decrypter http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm

I've had this on some discs. My way round it was to run anydvd in the background. Anyway zings way will work. Um so will mine, and a fair few others that have been posted

... So I guess the op has some research/testing to do

My way is to use DVD Xplayer Pro when I can't be doing with all the ripping malarky. Saves having an extra program like AnyDVD running in the background

so wat u r trying to say is to run anydvd in the background n rip the cd with a different software?
in this case, which software is recomended?
also, would that software actually allow me to choose the format i want? the reason being, i ripped with anydvd. and was trying to convert with jetaudio.jetaudio was showing hours before completion even when using max resources!

Well once you have the ripped image/files you could run it through aoa dvdripper or similar to turn it into divx. But the other people in this thread seem to have much better ways of doing it than me.

p.s. it will take a fair time to convert to divx or similar and it will use a lot of resources, unless you have a fancy pc of course
