Do you rip/burn dvds?

[igor]

I watched my neighbors cat while he was away last week and he loaned me his notebook full of ripped dvds to watch while he was gone. It was one of those 100 cd/dvd organizers, and it was full! I couldn't believe it. I've never ripped a dvd, but that's just because I couldn't get shrink to work on my computer for some reason.

I have done it a few times. I can't be bothered much to do it anymore because I simply don't have the time to babysit the process.

I'm rather surprised that i haven't found an eaiser way to "backup" copy protected dvds... No way am i gonna spend three hours of my time to do it :P

I actually just read about some program recently that supposedly does a pretty decent job.. but of course I didnt' bookmark it so heaven only knows if I can find the link again...

I think its too time consuming and I also don't have a burner. When I have seen friends use it for the music they make it seems to take so long I don't want bothered with it.

Hi ceecee & welcome...

Oh yeah - welcome to the new kid!

I don't think music takes that long really - the movies are a whole 'nother story though.

I've never found music to take too long actually, but I don't have a DVD burner in the house so I don't burn DVDs

I'd like to burn a couple with the digital videos from my new HD camcorder I got for the holidays but my computer probably couldn't handle it.

Music takes no time! I don't rip DVDs, but I have burned a few I've made (mostly boring photo slide shows of my kids set to music... you know, the sort of thing that you scare your friends with ). I've never tried the ripping process, sounds time consuming.

Okay, so I poked around a little yesterday and found the name of the program I had read about... it was called DVD X Copy .. but evidently it was "banned" since it was found to be illegal due to circumventing (ooh big word) the copyright protection on copy protected discs... Something about the actual backing up of discs in itself isn't illegal but the backup software containing that copyright workaround was...

Sooooo...... then I read about a program called AnyDVD that runs in the background on your pc that, when you load a copy protected disc, it basically "undoes" the css (ie the copyright protection portion of a dvd disc) so that the disc appears to not be copy protected....

Annnnd..... then programs like Nero and whatever other backup programs are then able to make a backup of the disc.

So i tested it out and it was so easy it wasn't even funny. It took absolutely no time at all to burn a backup of a dvd movie.

The End.
