How do you save a DVD to your computer?

Answer 1

You’ll first need to download DVD decrypter [http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/]and auto gordian knot (autogk)[http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AutoGK.htm]. DVD decrypter allows you to rip the raw DVD video and audio data off of your disk drive, decrypt the CSS protection, and finally remove any other protection schemes, such as Macrovision. AutoGK is a package of codecs and a GUI interface that will take the raw DVD data through an AV processing pipeline to produce a single windows video file.

Step 1: RIP
Put in a DVD and launch DVD Decrypter. Choose IFO (Information File) mode and make sure you’ve selected a destination for your files. Now you need to find which program chain to rip (PGC). Pick the one that’s the longest, or in the case of a TV dvd, the episode you want to rip. Just click the green arrow and wait about twenty minutes, after which you will have a set of files which look like this:

VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_PGC_07 - Stream Information.txt
VTS_01_PGC_07_1.VOB

Step 2: ENCODE
Launch AutoGK and select the first .vob that you just ripped as an input file, and set an output file name. Now you need to select audio (choose the first one) and subtitles, if any. If you’re ripping a TV, set the preferred size to 350MB, if you’re ripping a movie, choose either 700MB or 1400MB, depending on your preference.
Finally, click on advanced settings and choose MP3 VBR 128kbs.
Then click “add job” and “start.” After all this, you’ll have a log file.

Step 3: WATCH
You’re done. Delete all the non .avi files and enjoy.

Answer 2

Get a piece of software that "rips" the DVD content to the hard drive. There are many to choose from. You might try MAGIC ISO. You may, however, need a decoder for the front-end. If you get DVD Anywhere, it will help take the copy protection off the DVD so that you can back up your DVD. Otherwise y ou may not be able to use the "ripped" content.

Answer 3

Forgive me for saying the obvious but "First you need a DVD Player to read the DVD in the first place". Than go to Freewarefiles.com and download one of many files that will allow you to such a simple task. One note : No matter what format you use your hard drive will fill up fast doing this. Even as DivX files your talking 200MB Media player files can run over 1 GB for one movie. Choose your format carefully.

Answer 4

If the video is type of a .wmv, or .mp4, or something similar, you are able to drag and drop it on your demanding stress (that's usually noted as, "interior of sight Disk"). even if it truly is a DVD that works in a DVD participant besides as a workstation, than you should use a application like InfraRecorder to create a .iso for storage on a workstation. keep in mind that an iso record is purely contents for burning, and isn't any longer somewhat viewable. you are able to also use a application like Handbrake to get the DVD archives off of the DVD and right into a iPod, PSP, or workstation-nicely proper format.
