thorne Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Its been for ever since I've ripped a dvd. 3-4 years. I used to use dvddecrypter but I just tried it on this movie and it did not work. Anyone here got any suggestions for good dvd rippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I use AnyDVD in the background and then Apollo DVD Copy. I have yet to find one that has given me an issue. Great way of "backing up" your collection If you don't want to buy anything, just PM me and you can stop by sometime this week. I have a home office and am not traveling much this week.

Spidey2721 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 does this software get the tracks right? I have dvd video I use for Dj'n. I dont want to take the originals to my gigs. The copy program a friend of mine uses will screw up the tracks. Songs will start in the middle of a "track" and will end in the middle of another.

Mensan Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I use ripit4me, which uses DVDDecrypter and other programs. I also use DVDFabDecrypter, as well as DVDShrink, VOBBlanker, PGCedit, and FixVTS. One program will not work with all movies. I try and keep the setup files of everything I install so I will have them if the software is no longer distributed, or if a new version does not work (this actually happened with VOBBlanker).

smokin5s Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I just go and get the 3 for 25 at block buster or Hollywood video... the time it takes to rip DVD's isn't worth the 7 dollars it costs to just buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 100 Bulk DVD-R's at Sam's Club $30 and a cool 30 minutes per DVD is all it takes.

Mr. Jones Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 100 Bulk DVD-R's at Sam's Club $30 and a cool 30 minutes per DVD is all it takes. 30 minutes! around 5 minutes to rip/shrink (USE GOOD UNLOCKED FIRMWARE) Another what..7 minutes maybe 10 to burn if slow ? What I do now is just archive it digitally to 500gb drives... Much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW 500gigs whats your setup? NAS or what. I'm currently running a 2.0TB 10x250 in a raid 5 with online spares. I'm wanting to goto something that does not make my basement sound like a Jet Engine.

NAS or what. I'm currently running a 2.0TB 10x250 in a raid 5 with online spares. I'm wanting to goto something that does not make my basement sound like a Jet Engine. Old Pioneer 108dx They made the un-lock firmware available for it and it took the ripping speed off the wall. I use DVD-SHRINK coupled with anydvd if needed. The shrinking/ripping takes places in one fluid stream pretty much. To avoid any problems with raid/ windows/ ect. I simply keep a bunch of external drives around. Movies/ MP3's/Software/ All occupie their own external USB 2.0 Drive. 250-500's. When needed, I simpy grab them and bring them to a friends house/ work for people to take what they want. It simplifies what I need to do with them. And this way.. if my 2X 160gb 10K Raptor RAID0 Array fails (primary drive for windows/apps) I'm out nothing but a windows re-image.

thorne Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nice setup. I love my external drive. I don't have that drive but it sounds like it might be worth buying one. I can't find working ripping software for vista though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
