Ripping DVD's to PC

[DallasKen]

Hi everyone...I have a lot of cowboy games that I have recorded onto dvd's using my home dvd recorder that is connected to my tv. I was wondering if there was a good software program that would rip those games off the dvd to my PC so I could edit them, etc.. All I have on my pc is a dvd player, and as far as I know, it didn't come with any software that would rip burned DVDs.

Any good programs either freeware, or that cost money, would be greatly appreciated...Thanks.

Dude if your rippen then I'm tippin. But you had damd well better be uppin. The guys here could use some fresh content.

Okay... insert your disk into the disk drive. Go to the drive location in "my computer". Right click on the drive icon, and choose open from the pop up menu. Right click on the video icon and choose copy from the pop up menu. Go to your desktop and again right ckick. Choose paste from the pop up menu, and the video file should begin transfering from your disk to your computer.

This should work unless the video is encrypted when it is recorded to disk via your DVD recorder. Mine doesnt work that way and I doubt yours does.

If you want to rip DVD movies you rent, or original Dallas Cowboys videos you purchased, I have a cool tool that ID's the encryption and allows you to rip it.

Okay, I'll zip it and upload it. For download. Give me some time. It will break encryptions for most DVD movies.

[STAR GAZER]

Once you get it figured out, I will help you to upload it to a host server if you need any help. I'm hoping you guys can make this available for the members to download.

Let me know how it goes.

freeware to rip DVD: DVDFab Decryper

Editing the DVD (not freeware): Tsunami MPEG DVD Author Pro

and

Ulead DVD Movie Factory 5

This is the way I do it with excellent quality every time. Tsunami and Ulead are very powerful programs. DVDFAb Decrypter will rip absolutely anything (even copy protected DVDs)

Copy/Paste doesn't work for me Star Gazer. I guess its just certain DVD Recorders that don't encrypt the files.

All you gotta do is use DVD Decrypter to extract the VOB files from the DVD. DVDFab works great as well like CowboyJeff mentioned.

Then, you can do 1 of 2 things. You can simply change the filename from .VOB to .MPG (or .MPEG)... problem is, with this method, I've had a few files go CRAZY and the video was all out of order as well as the audio.
2nd method is to download VirtualDubMod and use it to convert the VOB files to AVI.

I use Sony Vegas for editting.

You may be right TEK. I live in Taiwan. Most home entertainment products are made differently for different countries. I have model numbers of products you cant buy in the states.

Taiwan is pirate land with a capital P. Just down the street from me are several stores that sell new movie releases on DVD and VCD. Pirates of the Caribbean II for $1.00 US. I had a crystal installed in my Xbox 360 that allows it to read pirated versions of games. Any game you want for $2.00 or less.
