ripping movies
 

Hi, I know this is a little :offtopic2:
but how do you copy movies?
Like I have several DVDs and I'd like to be able to play them on my computer.
I know how to rip music, but it seems tht windows media player wont copy dvds.
I also tried a software in my computer Catalyst DVD Solution, and it still won't help me out.
I try copying it, but instead it tries to make a back up data CD or an exact copy onto a CD
Also, I have one CD drive... so my cd/dvd player is also my burner...
which is useless if youre trying to make a copy and copying it at the same time...
anyone know how to ri dvds?

You'll need a program such as Super DVD Ripper....

Here you can get it: http://www.dvdtodivx.net/

This is what you'll end up doing:

1. Rip the DVD to your hard drive
2. Burn the DVD files from your hard drive to a blank DVD

I use three programs for this:

1. DVD Shrink - rips and compacts DVD files so they'll fit on one disk
2. AnyDVD - removes copyright protection (it is legal for you to make backup copies of DVD movies that you own)
3. Nero - to burn the DVD

DVD Shrink is FREE
AnyDVD is shareware - free for 21 days
Nero is shareware - free for 30 days

I'm not familiar with Super DVD Ripper, and it appears the website is down...I checked and the URL provided by foolofthehill is accurate. Sooo...I'm not sure what features that program has, but for what it's worth, this is the way that works for me!

Good Luck :D
