DVD ripping/burning software

[tgm4883]

Let me say in advance that I hope this is in the right forum, and I do have a reason for this question. My school just upgraded all of their computers in the library and they now have dvd burners (nec 1100) (go figure where they get the money to do this, if you live in oregon, you know what i mean, they just jacked up our tuition a bunch and the whole state has no money but they can afford to upgrade their computers)

My question is this, is there a program, or two, that will allow me to rip/encode/copy/shrink a dvd without installing it? (kind of like vdub, where it is only installed to a directory, but doesn't load anything onto the computer ie drivers)

This is what they have on the computers for burning
Roxio Easy CD Creator 5

I would ask them to load something else on (dvdshrink) but I would have to sell my soul to satan to get the computer department at western oregon university to actually do something.

I believe with TMPGENC (for converting) you can just put all of the files from the TMPGENC folder on, say, the desktop, then open TMPGENC and do what you have to do.

"Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 "
I'd say it's time for an update.

Seriously..TMPGEnc & DVDShrink are the only two I can think of.

DVDShrink is your best bet, you do not install it you just run it. It's about 300k (or less check the url).
