Does anyone outhere know of any software that can be used to rip dvds. I try to burn a dvd and it gives me this copyright protection s%$t.
 
hey ice czar what do you think about dvd-cloner II? i was thinking of buying that, the info on doom9 is too complicated for my sister to do. would this be a good option for her to backup her dvd collection?
 
It's really as easy as installing DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink.
DVD Decrypt will copy the dvd to your hdd and DVD Shrink will in one button burn that copy to a DVD. There is more you could do to try and get better compression, eliminate unwanted stuff from the DVD, but in it's simplest form it's a 2 step process.

I haven't tried CloneDVD, do they offer a demo?
 
considering Im to compare freeware with paidware Ive never used? :p

for the price of that ap + $20 you can get her another DVDRW :eek:

DVDDecrypter is pretty simple, just creates a decrypted ISO of the DVD
http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/guides.htm > ISO mode
But to simply have a complete DVD backup on your HD that doesn't matter.
Either way you can start ripping by pressing the large DVD button

just as simple for burning

Id recommend you going through it a few times with her, setting up any folders for the ISO
and write a cheat sheet text file for the desktop in case she needs to refer to it
then install Daemons Tools to mount the Image and watch it on the computer

DVDdecrypter has never failed me, and you cant beat the price
 
DVD X Copy (is that a banned program here) My brother has it, got it from 321 on the last day it was legal.

Hopefully 321 will be kind to the masses and say its okay to share thier program.
 
The best one I have is DVD shrink. Google it. Totally FREE. Clean. And does a bit more than a simple decryter/ripper.
 
DVD Shrink is nice, fast, and easy. It's not the best by any means but most won't notice the degredation in quality from using something else like DVD Decryptor to backup dvds. DVD Shrink does not burn in one easy click, it doesn't burn at all. It does have an option to automatically send a command and start nero to burn if so desired, though.

Can you burn with DVD Decrypter? I don't see an option there. thanks.
 
I just moved from DVDXCopy to DVDShrink. Was so easy to rip Shrek 1 & 2 to the harddrive and then turn around and combine them on to one DVD (minus spanish/french audio for better compression) for the long van rides. :D Quality was excellent still as well! Highly recommended. Why would I also want to add DVD Decrypter into the mix? What does it make easier when used in conjuction with Shrink (never used Decrypter)?

well for some reason dvd shrink will not burn my compilations.
I can burn in Nero fine, just for some reason DVD Shrink keeps aborting and ruining my CD's. i have a NEC 3500A
 
after you hit 'backup' in dvdshrink...on that 1st tab..make sure u have ur NEC3500 selected as your burner...as for me...all i use is dvdshrink and i love it...

ISO mode

There's actually 2 ISO modes, one for writing and one for reading

In order to access the ISO writing mode press W.

First click on the Windows Explorer like button in the left part of the GUI to select the image file to be burned. On the right side DVD Decrypter will indicate some info about the disc that's currently in the burner. If the disc is not empty the button to burn (once again a DVD button) will not be active.

If your drive supports BURN-Proof you should check this option, if you want to test-burn also check Test Mode. In that mode the burning process is only simulated and no data will be written to the disc.

Finally we have the Write Speed setting. Leaving it at max will burn the image as fast as your burner and media allows. If you rather like to burn slower, you can also select a lower burning speed than your drive / media combo is capable of. Note that selecting a speed that is higher than your drive / media allows will result in the disc being burned as fast as both drive and media can handle.

Once you've set everything up press the DVD button to start burning.

Anyone know how to have DVDShrink open files from the hard drive and then burn them without going through the encoding process? I backed one up to my hard drive but ran out of DVDs. Now I'm trying to burn it but am afraid when it encodes it again its going to lower the quality even more.
