    How to Rip DVDs (Links to Guides and Extra Info)

    I found some better guides than what I was planning to do. There are 3 methods that I remembered and are easy to do, you will just need to do a lot of reading. :)

    The first 2 methods are freeware ones, and the 3rd one involves a paid program named AnyDVD. Which can be used in conjunction with DVD Decrypter. Only one option is recommended to change, that'll go into that method.

    At the bottom of this post will be recommendations for copying and maybe distribution.

    Method 1 (Free)

    Programs needed:
    DVD Decrypter - http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Decrypter

    Guide: http://www.doom9.org/mpg/dvd5-backup.htm

    There are 3 Modes you should be aware of: File, IFO, and ISO.

    *Note: You can set the File Splitting size. Default is 1 GB for for IFO and File Mode, I believe.

    Method 2 (Free)

    Programs needed:
    Ripit4Me - http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipIt4Me
    Need DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink installed
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Decrypter
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Shrink

    Guide: http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/34/26/

    *Note: DVD Shrink is optional, it depends on what want to do.

    Method 3 (Not free for AnyDVD)

    Programs needed:
    DVD Decrypter - http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Decrypter
    AnyDVD - http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html

    Since AnyDVD already does CSS Encryption cracking, it's recommended to choose None for the CSS Cracking Method in DVD Decrypter. That can be found in the CSS tab in the Tools>Settings...

    Now just copy like normal in Method 1. :) AnyDVD is recommended when DVD Decrypter can't copy something due to newer copy protections. In that case, Ripit4Me can be used too except for recent DVD releases.

    Alrighty, here are a few of my recommendations for copying. For personal backups, ISO is recommended if it's DVD 5, or a single-layered disc (about 4GB). There are other guides at doom9 dealing with DVD 9 discs, or double-layered discs (usually 8GB, but can be less). An example of a small DVD 9 disc is the German DVD Xizer uploaded before. It was about 6GB.

    If you plan on uploading to someone, then I recommend keeping the original size of everything. I don't recommend transcoding a DVD 9 to a DVD 5 since that will lower the quality. The receiver can always use DVD Shrink to do that if they so choose to. (Pirating groups tend to shrink ) You can do this by uploading the ISO or just ripping out the entire VIDEO_TS folder in File mode.
