newbie need help to extract a dvd

[vracky]

Hi all,

I only got a 3 gigs on my hard drive...
Is it possible to copy a dvd on a cd-rom.
How and what proggy is the best to do that.

I own a p3 800 512 mg of ram. and a ati rage 128. and a plextor 16 x. How many time it could take???

Is it possible to burn a dvd on a cd rom??? Probably not?

Also. Is it possible to got a 700 mg mpg or avi? from a dvd

I often saw dvd rip with only 200 or 300 mg file.

I dunno nothing about dvd copying...-::((

For a full length 1.5 hour movie, you'll need at least 4-5 GB's for the vob's alone. What you maybe can do, is rip a few chapters at a time, convert to svcd, then trash the original vob file, keeping the newly created mpeg file. Repeat, until you finish the whole movie. Then merge all the mpeg files into one and voila, you have a full movie in less than 2 GB of space. It doesn't sound like fun, but it may be a good learning experience until you get a bigger harddrive. Smartripper is an excellent dvd ripper. DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc are also necessary. Read the "How to" links on the left.

smartripper will let you rip by chapters and you could rip a few chapters at a time...

or you can use flaskmpeg to create your mpeg1/2 files directly from the vobs while they reside on the dvd itself.

you CANNOT read a dvd in a cd drive. there's no way around that because they are different types of media.

you have a great burner, but you need a new hard drive and you need to replace that cdrom drive with a dvd-rom. circuit city has the delta 12x ide drive on sale this week for twenty chalupas after mail-in rebate.
