Does anybody know of any freeware or shareware to rip DVD movies to iPod and Zune...and that also comes with a video format converter, that doesn't loss picture quality?? I know I'm probably looking for this all-in-one program that might not even be on the market.
I have tried several prorams like Cucusoft Zune Video Converter Suite, it converts my current .avi .mpg to .wmv but with the downside of quality loss. It also rips DVD movies from a DVD drive to convert into mpeg-4, but the process is so slow and I'm not so sure if plays in the iPod.
I also tried #1 DVD Ripper, it rips the DVD movie in very good quality. The only problem is that I can't convert my current .avi .mpg to iPod or Zune format.
And last but not least I tried Pavtube Video Converter. This program is excellent to convert my current video files to iPod and Zune formats without hardly any quality loss. But I can't rip DVD movies.
So if anyone can please let me know of any software...I wouldn't mind trying the free programs but if the quality is not gonna be any good I don't mind buying a program that would work great, for DVD ripping and converting my videos.
Thanks for the advice : )
But when I click on it, it says the following "This software is no longer available, this page is stored for archival puposes only."
I actually tried Super to convert my current videos and it works great, and the video quality is great too. Now all I need is a good DVD ripper for the iPod and Zune.
Thanks for the help.
Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc (DVD) is quite commonly used nowadays due to its huge storage advantage. However, most commercially produced DVDs are always protected with the Content Scramble System (CSS), a digital rights management scheme that is widely used. Manufacturers or producers use CSS keys set which is a collective term for authentication key, player key, title key, disc key, second disk key set, and/or encrypted key to protect the disc?s content from being duplicated by unauthorized parties. What can you do if you want to copy or make duplications of a protected DVD?
Technically, you can seek help from some freeware and shareware available that can help to solve your problem to copy a protected DVD.
You can try out DVD43. DVD43 is a free decrypter or CSS encryption breaking program that can help you to duplicate copy-protected DVDs. i have used it to copy DVD movies and it works well. The installation program is pretty simple: just run the setup file and leave the shortcut icon on your task bar. This program will run in the background and decrypt movies on the fly. When you want to use it, you just insert the DVD which you want to copy and wait for DVD43 to detect it. After that you can start duplicating the DVD with your DVD copy software.
