what does ripping a dvd mean?

Answer 1

you copy it onto your pc

Answer 2

Ripping a dvd means copying the digital information to another source, usually a hard drive. DVDs have copy protection on them, so you can't just stick it a computer and copy the files. You have to use programs to bypass the protection, hence the forceful term "ripping". The word is used similar to "ripping the sticker off the front of the dvd case."

Answer 3

Exactly it is; copying the DVD(contents) to your hard-drive without the scrambling effect.

If you are asking about a video dvd rip;
A normal dvd movie which is about 4GB+ comes to less than 1GB when its ripped. These days, all pirated movies available on the internet are these DVD Rips in either DivX or Xvid

hope that helps.
