Danny 350Z Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Can anybody recommend a decent free DVD ripping program? I'm searching the web and thought I was on to a winner with one, downloaded the file, tried to rip 300 but then the clause; Oh no, you'll need to purchase our premium edition to rip encrypted DVD's. Feck off and explain that before I wasted my time downloading you! I basically want to put my films on a hard drive for travelling, etc. Any ideas, computer-techy-geeks?

planetsurfer2 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Totally safe. I use it myself. It will extract the DVD to your hard drive. you will need between 4.7 and 10GB of free space depending on the DVD. The file structure will be the same the DVD. You can play it with a media player. If you install the "CCCP Codecs" http://www.cccp-project.net/ you will get all the codecs you need, and a couple of media players. You can convert it to another format, to reduce the size. use handbrake. http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php All Free...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
