I know about Handbrake already...... - Roberto Bonini

I use DVD Shrink to convert them to ISO's. Then use XBMC for playback to my home theater. - Matt

DVD Decrypter + DVD Shrink. There's another program that will control DVD Decrypter to get through newer DVD protection techniques, but I forgot what it was called. - Rodfather

if want to make a DVD backup, it's a bit trickier since everything may not fit on a single layer DVD and newer original DVD's are made in a way that makes it difficult to rip correctly. If the destination is a file, it's much easier. - Rodfather

Ok I found it. Search and download rip4me. Make sure you have DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink installed. - Rodfather

DVD Shrink does the compression. The issue is new DVD protection.. Plus DVD2One isn't free. - Rodfather

Read my friend's blog where he talks about how he's ripped his entire DVD collection to his Windows Media Server for across the network streaming. - Alex Scoble

Ya it's much easier if you don't need to make a DVD backup - Rodfather

rip4me might not work anymore. Here's a guide from doom9.org. They usually are up to date with current techniques. http://www.doom9.org/index... edit: or not.. - Rodfather

This might be a good non-free app. Looks like they keep up with new DVD's. http://www.dvdfab.com/ . I'm browsing through the doom9 forums. http://forum.doom9.org/ - Rodfather

As my friend writes here, he uses DVD Fab to rip all his DVDs. http://www.paraesthesia.com/archive... - Alex Scoble

Hm. Not finding any free solutions. - Rodfather

use what u know, Handbrake is perfect - Murat Ozoral

Right ok. Any Handbrake tips, then?? - Roberto Bonini

You can just use the trial version of DVDfab http://www.dvdfab.com/downloa... - Alex Scoble

OK, so i've got Handbrake doing some nice work, but its taking forever ( and hour and half for a ten minute, bonus add on - i was testing it). Anything Faster?? - Roberto Bonini
