i need software that can perform these funtions.. please post up links to programs that are NOT freeware.. i wanna stay away from freeware.. but if its good to u can post it as an alternative to the payware... if ppossible an AIO? cost dont matter rlly
-dvd ripper that can bypass all the copyright crap and can rip to a AIO
-a video file converter

basically i want a .avi file of the movie im ripping so i can store it on my HDD and watch it anywhere i go. also i would like the ripper to remove copyright crap and be able to copy on another dvd.. what are some good software?

- DVDFab Decrypter. It's freeware, and it's very good.

- AutoGK (simple) or Gordian Knot (advanced) for the conversion of the ripped DVD files to AVI. Again, both are freeware, but AutoGK is simple and Gordian Knot provides a lot of control over the final video.

You can use any DVD burning program that supports DVD Video to burn the files ripped by DVDFab Decrypter to a DVD-R, but you will need DVD Shrink (again, freeware) to compress the video down if you want to copy a dual-layer DVD (most comercial DVDs) to a single-layer DVD-R.

I can't really tell you which commercial packages you could use, because I've always used the freeware ones. They work very well. Maybe someone else could provide advice on commercial packages.

I agree with you Cobra; and Xvid can also do a good job - and it's freeware!

You must have been burnt at some stage ...


Irregardless of the price tag, IMHO all the payware DVD to AVI softwares I've seen are absolute crap in comparison to AVI.NET, FairUse Wizard and AutoGK (all of which just happen to be free). I make this statement when considering what I think is important (quality, speed, ease of use, flexibility, configurable).

As for the DVD Ripping question, DVDFab Decrypter is widely regarded as one of the best ripping tools around ATM. Then to remove copyright warnings and such, VOBBlanker, TitleSetBlanker, PGCEdit or DVDRemake can all do the job.

ok i rip with dvdFab decrypter.. will i get like a bunch of files?.. if so what do i do with them to convert to avi and/or to burn to dvd disc...

for copyright all i need is something so i will be able to copy the dvd if there are protection on it




to jimmalenko: i would like software that is payware because *cough* i can get them no problem :P

You should get a VIDEO_TS folder with a number of files in it.

If you just want to remove the encryption, then after ripping you can just turn around and burn the VIDEO_TS folder with your favorite burning software. I use Nero Express's DVD-Video template normally.

Or alternatively you could try DVDDecrypter ISO Read mode to rip and then ISO Write mode to burn.

its not a folder.. its just a folder full of video_ts files

You can use VOB2MPEG to convert the VOB files to one big MPEG file.

I have already told you what you can use. Re-read my response to your questions.

I hope you are getting this software somewhere decent.

It is simply not possible that you did a search and did not find these answers.

"Its not a folder, its a folder full of files". I'm all done here.
