    Hi guys,

    I have a region 1 NTSC dvd that I am trying to rip to my hard drive. This is the only dvd that I want to rip so I don't want to pay for a program that I will only use this once.

    I am based in the u.k and have changed the region settings on my laptop to enable me to rip this dvd.

    The dvd that I am trying to rip is anamorphic 1.66. I want to rip the dvd if possible 1 for 1. I don't want to lose any quality. I am using Handbrake and the program keeps on zooming in and taking off the black bars on the sides or ripping with a black box around the whole image.

    I haven't ever ripped dvds before and am tearing my hair out a little bit, surely it shouldn't be this diifficult?!?

    I want to be able to watch the ripped dvd from my hard drive on my t.v and for it to look as though I were watching the dvd itself.

    Can anyone recommend a free program that is more user friendly or kindly talk me through what I am doing wrong?

    Many thanks.
    Tim.

    Is space an issue? If not, you may prefer ripping the DVD straight to ISO or a VIDEO_TS folder - many software media players will treat those as if they were the original DVD. Though, I'd make sure the media player I want to use would indeed play ISO disc images or the contents of a DVD ripped to files (within VIDEO_TS/AUDIO_TS/etc. folders).
