question on Ripping dvd's from other regions

[Dragon_zombie_x]

Say I take the european buffy dvd's and rip the files from them. They would play on my moniter wouldnt they? And if not can I convert them so that they would? I live in the u.s if anyone needs to know to leave me an answer. Please

yes, you can watch them on your computer monitor.

you could probably convert each episode to ntsc svcd & have one episode per cd at really good quality and watch them on your standalone dvd player.

THANKS ALOT!

Now here's another question. I recently had to wipe my hard drive so I have a dvd rom. BUT i need to get a dvd decoder and I won't be able to afford it for awhile, can I still rip the files off of the dvd?

DVD Decoder? You mean a plug in decoder card? Yeah they help, but you can play DVDs on your PC w/o one. But to answer you question yes, you can rip the VOB files to your HD and just store them.

NOTE: the ave movie is 4~8GB so have lots of HD space free if you plan to rip more than one DVD at a time.

Hey, thanks alot man you've been a huge help. As far as space is concerned I have a 60 gigabite hard drive and it is practically empty so I don't think I'll have a problem concering space
