DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... DVD Ripping Software

Just bought my wife a Toshiba Thrive tablet and a 1TB HDD for christmas. I want to rip some of my movies we have to the HDD so when she goes between her mom's house and our house with the kids she can take all of the movies with her. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good software program. I don't know which ones are good and which ones are possible malware.

Slysoft Clone DVD.
There are others out there . But I like the simplicity of the Slysoft products.

Thanks for the info, I had their cloneCD a long time ago.

You can use orb. It requires a client on the pc and phone and you have to poke holes in .your firewall if you want to use it over 4g

Been a member of this site for over 10 years. Everything you would ever want to know about video on a pc.

DVDfabDecrypter is currently one of the most recommended decrypters and ripping softwares.

Of the ones mentioned in this thread, Slysoft is the only one I have ever heard mentioned there. If nobody on that site is using it or talking about it, either it's not very good or it doesn't work at all.

I bought the Slysoft Clone DVD. It worked great. My Toshiba Thrive is WiFi only so it's nice to have them on the HDD.

Walmart has a program where you can take your DVD's in and for $2 they can put in on your Vudu Library. It's not a bad price, the only catch is they need to have a license to sell the digital copy of said DVD but they have a search bar on their website to check. It's $5 for a Blu-ray disc conversion or if you want to upgrade your standard DVD to a High Def Version on your library.

The iPhone/iPad have a Vudu app as well as the 360/PS3 and various other set-top boxes & Internet app TV's. All you do is click on the my library in the app and all your movies on the cloud...forever.

As of right now I don't have an android app for my Toshiba Thrive for Vudu.

Audials Tunebite. Does all media.

Little late to your post, but ....

Nelson37 is dead on with videohelp ..... great site. Afterdawn also has a ton of good info.

I have used DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink for years. They are components of the now defunct DVD X Copy (it was sued off the shelves years ago by the MPAA). While these certainly can be used to pirate 480p DVDs, I have used them to back up the movies I have bought. Most recently I used DVDDecrypter to get the files to my HDD and then created an .iso for each for my home theater PC. This allows me to box away my movies and they are easier to access and load faster. DVDShrink is used to re-author the .vob files and also to compress as necessary if you want to burn a copy to disc since most DVDs are larger than the approx 4.5 gigs available on a blank disc.

I have never ripped Blu-Ray, but this Lifehacker tutorial looks about right.

The codec of choice is likely h264 or x264 and handbrake is exactly what you need for that.
