;Ripping DVD's v.1.0
;by Ozzfest

;Overview

So you want to rip DVD's huh? Well I could sit here and write a guide but how I do it, but it would be very
similar to the one that I used to get started.

This is one of the easiest DVD to DiVX guides that I've found... and one that I give to people who want to know
how to rip DVD's. Just follow the guide and all will be well.

If you want to rip a DVD on to CD that can be played like a standalone DVD player you will need to create
a VCD or SVCD. Again there are guides that can explain better than I ever could:

DVD to SVCD >> http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2svcd_guide.cfm


More guides can be found here, these include how to rip subtitles, split AVI and MPEG files and DVD-R burning.
These are well worth a read if you get a chance.

;Notes

If you can, use the latest versions of all apps...just bust out a google search to track them down. Having said
that there are some issues with CDex 1.50 beta so stick with 1.40 for now.

Don't be fooled, a decent high quality DiVX will take 4+ hours, so do all the ripping and wav encoding and then
let it do the big encode overnight.

If you are confused by any terminology used, check out the glossary >> http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/

Take your time, follow the guide properly and remember, Google is your friend.

enjoy

never knew about afterdawn. But IMO doom9, is the ultimate resource for dvd stuff. Most indepth guides you can find. And the forum collaboration on there is top-notch.

Answered my question without having to make a req for the info.

okay, I'm just going admit it right now---i'm completely in the dark with this. My friend got a dvd burner, blank dvds and is ready to make backups. The guides I have looked at talk about making copies to cd....Is there an easier way? I know it's not going to be simply pop it in, copy and go, but is there any guides for copying to a blank dvd, or is that what they're talking about? help me please! He won't quit bugging me about it!

just get dvd copy xpress you wotn haev to bother with all that bologna

the guides lister here are mostly for ripping dvd to some type of highly compressed file, like a divx or xvid avi. or an svcd.

if you just want to, make copies of you dvd, roxio (i think) has the simplest interface to use, and practically walks you through it.
