ripping dvd's with rip-it

[XAPHSNYC]

I am using rip-it to rip dvds for personal use in our car for the kids. I am having a hard time with some. It seems that if the actual dvd is larger than 4.7 GB it cannot be copied on a regular dvd. Anyone has any suggestions, any idea if you compress the dvd can you burn it? Any help would be greatly appreciated
thank you

Rip it? Do you mean RipIt4Me? Not updated anymore, for years now in fact. Which is not to say it won't rip the vast majority of DVDs you may buy. But anything with newish copy protection is likely to defeat it.

The only free DVD decrypters/rippers regularly updated are DVDFabHDDecrypter, and (infrequently) DVD43. Payware options are DVDFab and AnyDVD.

You can easily "compress" a disc to DVD5 size with a transcoder like DVDShrink. Or use DVDRebuilder for better quality. Burn with ImgBurn only.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I guess XAPHSNYC means the ripit for mac os?

Best Sharewares to do the JOB are in my opinion:


ANYDVD --> to remove copy protection from any DVD :P

+

CloneDVD2 --> to compress the movie so it'll fit on a Blank DVD Disc :P

Thank you all for the replies, I think I may not have been clear enough so here is some more details. I am using mac os X. I have rip it installed on my lap top. I have no issues with the program ripping a dvd, the issue is that when the program reads and copies the movie to my HD, when I try to burn it afterwards on a blank dvd, if it is more than 4.7GB I cannot. I am asking if there is a way to compress it at that time before burning it.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

thank you eskro!
is this a totally new program or is it mainly for compressing my movies?
if I purchase it, will I need to use both programs?

what you want is DVD2oneX2, it will compress either the full dvd or just the main feature only to fit on a 4.4GB dvd..Toast can do the same thing but isn't the fastest and the quality is as good as DVD2oneX2

DVDRemaster // DVD2oneX2

They both can do the samething.... and cost the same :P

this is true, but i find DVD2oneX2 to be easier to use
