dave111223 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'd like to backup some DVDs onto my media PC, but i've been thinking that most DVD ripping software out there just don't seem to work....What do you guys suggest using? (I'm looking for something simple; put in a dvd click a button and end up with a dvix/xvid file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaak327 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Gordian Knot, but you will have to do something more then just press the button, as the ripping itself is indeed easy, but then the ripped content needs to be converted to Xvid or Divx. Yet, this package includes everything you need and is pretty easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozsamurai Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Xilisoft is fantastic I have found, easy to understand and use. Covers most formats for conversion. Get the DVD-MP4 going and you can go crazy, even on copyrighted stuff although I do not recommend this as its against the law Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I too like AGK (Auto Gordian Knot), as a re-encoder (VOBs-->AVI). Fairly straight-forward to use. For DVD's which are encrypted you will have decrypt them first. http://www.autogk.me.uk/ Dealing with sub-titles, special features, multiple audio tracks can be challenging. Backing up a DVD is creating an exact duplicate of that DVD. Ripping a DVD typically involves decryption (where required) and re-encoding into a different format typically to enhance portability and reduce size.

Jiu-Jitsu Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Magic DVD Ripper works best for me. It has a built in MPEG 4 converter. If you would like more flexibility, install a seperate MPEG 4 Codec such as Koepi's XviD or Nic's XviD. This will allow you to customise the size of your 'rips'.

lor Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Try DIVX Author Not only converts DVD's to divx in a few clicks but can also add menus and chapters to the DIVX. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
