I just tried using dvd fab and it seems to work OK. It puts a big "DVD Fab" slogan on the first 5 minutes of your movie and for some reason I can't turn the subtitles off. Does anyone have any good FREE software that easily allows them to rip a dvd to their computer?

Quoted: makemkv , faster better and the future of video format MakeMKV is not free its shareware. Slysoft AnyDVD HD isn't free either but I am going to mention it anyway because it is the easiest and as far as I am concerned the best DVD/Blueray ripper on the market. |

I use DVDfab but rip to iso. You get all the data (menus, subtitles, easter eggs, etc). Downside is storage space might become a concern down the road, each rip is around 4 gigs for standard DVD's.
Tried AnyDVD and didn't like it much, found DVDFab easier to use. Handbrake will work but you have to decrypt the DVD first, something like DVD43 (?) works. I prefer the one step of DVDFab. |

Quoted: what kind of ripping? like the kind that will fit the DVD onto a CD (~700 MB) or the kind that rips it full disk format (4.x gig)? Full movie onto HD. I have plenty of space and it's cheaper than buying blank cd's. Ideally I'd like to just use my computer and stream it direct to my xbox360. |

First you'll want to figure out the formats that your 360 will stream. I *think* that MPEG4 will work, so you should be fine with Handbrake. |

One can use the free DVDFab HD Decrypter portion of DVDFab to rip the DVD to the hard drive, then use Handbrake to convert to MP4 or MKV for loading onto the iPad, iPhone or other devices or storage media. To rip with the free HD Decrypter, launch DVDFab, insert the DVD disc into your DVD drive, after DVD Fab scans the disc, select "Full Disc" from the menu list on the left side. Then select the "Target" field and change the location to "C\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My documents\DVDFab\" for Windows XP, or "C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\DVDFab\" for Windows 7. Then hit the "Start" button and let the program rip the DVD to the hard drive. Once ripped you can use Handbrake to load the ripped content from the "C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\DVDFab\FullDisc\<disc name>" or "C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\DVDFab\FullDisc\<disc name>" folder. Once ripped to the hard drive one could also use the free DVD Shrink to reduce the content (if needed) so the backed up DVD will fit onto a single DVD5 DVD-R or DVD+R disc. |

DVD Shrink will also rip directly from a DVD to ISO format. I don't know if PS3s can take ISOs, as I do not have a game console. DVD Shrink has rudimentary decryption but it cannot be used to rip modern copy-protected DVDs (so we are safe from the CoC standpoint). |

Yes it will, that's normally what I use it for if I don't use DVDFab to create the ISO. DVD Shrink will allow a person to burn to a DVD disc if they have Nero installed, or save to an ISO file, or save to a hard drive folder. Been using the free Giveawayoftheday "DVDFab DVD Copy" version for the last year or so to rip DVD movies to ISO. |

I have a DVD/VHS player in my home theater so I can take home movies (non-copy protected) on VHS and transfer them to DVD, then rip to ISO using DVD Shrink. That way I can have a physical DVD copy in-hand and a ISO copy on my backup HDD in case the DVD copy gets lost or damaged. |

Quoted: Holy balls... 7 hours to rip a dvd using handbrake? Anyone have any ideas to make it go faster? Ripping the raw data is about the same speed no matter what with modern DVD drives. Encoding time is entirely dependent on your CPU power. On my machine (Intel Q9550 with 8GB of RAM) it only takes about 45 minutes to rip/encode a full length DVD. ETA: I run linux, so I have no idea what the Windows offerings provides in either functionality or performance.
