Backup DVD software (1 Viewer)

[absolution*]

Does anyone know of any freeware applications that can be used to make backups of dvds my converting to .avi files?

ah well i bought magic dvd ripper- $30 us and its easy as to use

but freeware, u will have to buy a dvd extractor which will take the .vob files off the dvd and put them on ur computer, then u wil have to use another program to convert the files into .avi

yeah ive got the vobs, i just need the converter program to make them into avi's

 

[thejosiekiller]

www.doom9.org

http://www.mpegx.com/index.php

i havnt had to use these sites in ages- but just read thru the different types of encoders they offer for free

I use to use FLASKmpg, I found it to be a very good video conversion program. I haven't used it for ages, but it did have some minor bugs, they might be fixed now though.

Look on google to find it.

www.videohelp.com is your friend. once youve got your vob files i think you can use autogordian knot.

backups? suuuuuuuuure

 

[SYNeR]

even 'backing up' is a poor excuse for wanting to know how to rip DVD -> DivX/XviD/etc.. Seeing as though backing up is illegal now..

GordianKnot??

why dont u just use divx? isnt divx better and more ppl will be able to use it

i want ppl to know i support "backing up" dvds- i hate my fucking video store and its my dying wish to be the end of them for all the times they charge me late fines or dont have a movie i want to watch!!!!

I use Nero 6 with a DVD burning plug-in, now it claimed that it 'may' have some incompatibilities since i installed Service Pack 2.
I still use it, it works and still reliable

Yeh i use DVD Shrink, a free software: http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html
It works like a charm.

whats a free program to burn dvd's in general? I.e. unencrypted? Is nero the best?

 

[breaking]

nero isnt free

 

[velox]

ooops yeah i knew that, ok, rephrasing the question. Are there any free dvd burning programs out there? Just simple ones

 

[thejosiekiller]

well $100 says uve got a cracked version of nero on ur computer

 

[velox]

Nah the demo has expired

dvdshrink and dvd decrypter i believe are free?

 

[golfstick]

DVD Decrypter is only a ripping tool and as far as i know, Dvdshrink just re-encodes the mpeg file into a lower bitrate (a similar bitrate avi would look nicer).

for burning programs, i don't know of any legal free ones but something should have come bundled with your dvd burner

GordianKnot??

why dont u just use divx? isnt divx better and more ppl will be able to use it

gordianknot is a program that you use to encode DivX avis (and Xvid, etc)

well it's actually a few programs tied together but for all intents and purposes that's what it is
