You want to rip a DVD? You want to copy games? Dude, if you don't even know what you want to do, nobody here can tell you how to do it..

There are thousands of articles written about game ripping, DVD ripping, clothes ripping, ripping off customers, tripping, flipping or just about any known subject in the universe. I suggest you type in your browser - www.google.com then type in the search box ***** ripping and see what happens. You'll be amazed. Or come back here and read the posts they are pretty informative ;-)

To "rip" a DvD to your hard drive you need some sort of program such as DvD Decrypter, which you can get here:

Ah bless, I remember the days. OK, so I am still a newbieish person, so I strongly recommend you do this:

1 : Find a website that deals with video ripping, encoding etc (oops, too late, you are already there)

2 : Look in the Articles section for an 'article' on the subject that interests you (DVD rip, DivX, country dancing, Finnish wicker basket making)

3 : Read the article (this bit may be a bit tricky, but I promise it will product results)

4 : Find the section marked downloads (OK this one is tough, but a general tip would be to look for something marked 'software' or 'download'

5 : Download the software

6 : Do not use disk as frisbee/coffee mat

Hey presto, one happy dork!

Paul.

Hey Perseus, I wasn't trying to be a prick: it was a serious statement. You didn't even seem to know if you wanted to rip a DVD or copy a game or what.

If you want to rip a DVD: http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2divx_anamorphic.cfm is a guide I found very helpful. Although I prefer to use DVDDecrypter ( http://www.dvddecrypter.com ) rather than SmartRipper (don't know why, they both do the job, but it just 'feels' better), and I prefer to use AC3Decoder ( http://www.ac3dec.com ) to convert the audio from AC3->WAV, rather than letting DVD2AVI do it (it's much faster with ac3dec).

If you want to copy games ("or something") I can't help you.

You just can't insult some people...

Anyway, pleased to be of assistance, anything else needed, you will find this site very informative, especially the forums and the articles.

By the way, your comment about DVD2AVI being slow : I thought so, but if you don't downmix the audio 48-44.1, on my PC it is sooooooo much faster. I otherwise follow the guide here too, although I don't know if my deviation (ahem) is going to cause problems. So far every disk has worked in every computer and every DVD standalone.

Nice zing, Loaded.. :-)

Also, you made me realise that yes, I was downmixing the audio from 48KHz to 44.1 when I used DVD2AVI.. and then when I tried out ac3dec, I tried leaving it at 48, and it was just fine. So true, I didn't do a fair compare. I'll try DVD2AVI without the downmixing (hey, if I can have one less program in the chain, I'm happy..)

The only reason I could find for downmixing is "some sound cards don't like 48KHz". Well, mine obviously does, so that's my mind made up. :-)
