Ripping from a DVD

How do I rip video off of a DVD? (it is not copyrighted material).
In the past, I've had to play the disc in a DVD player using it's analog outs, into a digitizer to record it into iMovie.
I am hoping there is a better way to do this. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm trying to sync a video I ripped from a DVD and it won't load into the device

I'm ripping a few DVDs into iTunes. They vids play on I tunes but now will not load onto my tablet, it just gives a notice that says video did not sync, contact iTunes for mor info. Do I have to do another conversion before the tablet is happy? I have a bran new dell, windows 8 and am ripping with Win X DVD ripper.

Since it seems kind of confusing what's going on, I'd recommend downloading DVD Ripper for Windows. The trial allows you all conversions without time limitation. In the preferences, have ATV2 checked off under what you want the movie converted to. Put in the DVD, and hit Compress, not rip. This will rip and convert the file. Then, drop the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. See if that works.

Apple TV speeds up video playback on files ripped from DVDs - it looks like it's being fastforwarded slightly.

I just set up my Apple TV 2, only to find playback issues from the start.
Whenever I try to play videos from iTunes, the playback is noticeably faster than it should be. It's almost as if the video is slightly sped up, and the audio is in sync with this. The aspect ratio is also very different on some of these videos (and this doesn't correct on my TV as it does on my laptop screen) - by which I mean that the picture appears stretched on some, but not others. These are files I have ripped from my DVD collection.
What can I do about this?

Ok, now I understand.
I haven't directly used those digital copies, per your original post it sounds is as it plays fine in iTunes but just not on apple tv
Here is the compatibility list for ATV2, in iTunes right click and get info for one of the files to see if it falls within
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Best way to rip from DVD

what is the best way or best software to rip from a dvd movie ?
im using handbreake im saving Avi file but when i go to FCP to work with the files it needs too much render what am i doing wrong ?

Are you dealing with a copy-protected DVD? If so, this is really an inappropriate place to be asking these questions? If not, use mpegstreamclip and export to a quicktime (DV ntsc or pal depending on which you want to work with).

Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

Hi
I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
Cheers
Sammy

I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

Ripping Audio from a DVD to iTunes

Does anyone know a simple way to rip the audio from a DVD to an mp3 for use in iTunes? I have some stand-up DVD's that i would like to listen to when I want.

You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

How to rip RAW PCM audio from a DVD

Hi guys,
I know audition can rip audio from a cd and from a video file but how can I rip the raw pcm audio from a dvd. I usually just record using 'what you hear' through my soundcard but is there a more accurate way of ripping the audio from a dvd? Any help would be nice....thanks in advance
George

I don't know of a way to do it with Audition, but there are some free little programs like VirtualDubMod or SmartRipper that can rip the WAV. There are some tutorials on the net on how to do it.
Just as a side note, PCM Audio on DVDs has 48 kHz samplerate, not 44.1 kHz like CDs.

Ripping music from a dvd

Hello, I am a new member who is desperate for advice. How can I rip the sound from a DVD. I need some music for a dance school show, and it is only available as part of a DVD soundtrack....?

The dance school pays PPL and PRS licences which enable it to use any music in dance school productions, provided the correct information is given to both of these organisations so that they can allocate fees accordingly.
The use of the music and the legality of taking it from the DVD is not an issue (these are not for profit performances). My problem is the physical act of how I get the music.
I could play the DVD on a DVD player and try to make the room as quiet as possible then record the sound track through GarageBand - but that is a little '1970's', don't you think!!!!
'Handbrake' sounds interesting - what is it, how/where do I get it, and how do I use it?
(I am a novice - will it be easy to use?)

Where can I find "Ripping Software" to use to enable me to download a clip from the dvd of our wedding onto an existing imovie project?

Just do a search for Handbrake. That will do it for you.

PE11 Rip from DVD- putting a menu on- burning that to DVD ruins quality

First, I've read some things here and there, but can't find the exact same scenarios in other posts, although I'm sure this is a fairly common problem (SIAP):
Here is a summary of the issue:
1) Our guy produced a video for our organization and gave me a DVD-R of the 11 minute project. I imported this into PE11 and on the timeline it says .VOB. Now on the desktop, the 481 mb VTS_01_1 file properties state that it is 720x480, 29 fps... although I find it strange that the clip as imported into PE11 in properties in the project assets window says it's 23.976 frame rate. Making things more confusing (don't even know if any of this matters) is that in an instance of Share->Export to Computer, the "source" says the video is 1920x1080, 29.97 fps. Don't know if any of this matters...
2) Anyways, the reason I ripped it is for the sole purpose of creating a menu on the DVD. So I picked a "HD" template, imported my own JPEG on to it, then attempted as best I could to erase all the buttons except for "Play Movie." AGain, not sure if the Menu functionality has anything to do with the issue, but I figured I'd mention it.
3) I've tried several times burning the video with both DVD-R and +R using both NTSC Dolby and Widescreen Dolby to burn to DVD.
The resulting DVD has a degraded, fuzzy image and the black frame lines at bottom and top seem to bounce and jitter.
The image on the original DVD is clearly HD and looks great, without any bouncing, jittering, etc. Also, the DVD app i used to watch the original on my computer is the same as I used to watch my own burned DVD... So PE11 has clearly degraded the image, something is going on in the export.
Another thing worth mentioning is that as I look at the video footage in PE11 on full screen, I can see that even in PE11, the video quality is not the same as the original DVD and there are obvious artifacts and just nonsense in the picture... Not necessarily as bad as the burn, but similar.
I've done a little reading on these forums about .VOB files... I don't fully understand them. Is it that the image is messed up from the beginning with an import from DVD? IS there a way to do what I want (take hiqual video from a DVD, put a menu on it, then burn it back onto DVD?) with PE11? Or is the only way to make a burn from the original source file before it was burned the first place?

Please get a MediaInfo readout of your VOB at the onset to determine what you have, especially standard or widescreen.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
Special Interest: Frame size, Frame rate, Display 4:3 or 16:9, Scan Type and Scan Order for which I am expecting Interlaced and Lower Field First.
Here is my take on your situation.
1. The Canon 6D can capture 1080p video (1920 x 1080 16:9 at 29.97 or 30 frames per second), but from what you wrote somewhere along the line someone put that through a video "authoring" program to convert it into DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc (720 x 480). At this point, we need to know standard or widescreen. Both standard and widescreen will be 720 x 480, but the widescreen will have a 16:9 flag included to stretch the video for display after encoding.
Question:
a. What is on that DVD disc....just a file name VTS_01_1 (file size 481 MB) or two folders named OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS? If you have a file, for Premiere Elements 11, you would use Add Media/Files and Folders to get the file in Project Assets. If you have the DVD disc in the DVD burner tray, you would use Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive to rip the VOB and get the VOB into the project.
b.Your project is going to get messed up and confusing, if you let the program set the project preset for you. You will most likely end up with the default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is inappropriate for your project. So, before thinking or acting on Get Media....open a new project, go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset in the New Project dialog for NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen depending on what you find beforehand about the properties of your VOB MediaInfo Then use Add Media/and the appropriate choice based on what I wrote above about VOB already ripped vs DVD-VIDEO ripping.
c. When you have your VOB on the TImeline with the appropriate project setting, right click the file in Project Assets and verify Premiere Elements 11's interpretation of the file frame rate and other to determine if it agrees with the MediaInfo readout. It would be very unusual if there was a differnce, but...
d. Whether you have a NTSC or PAL project, all the SD DVD Templates have a frame size of 720 x 576 (PAL sizing). The ones tagged HD have a 1440 x 1080 frame size. Right now I would advise you to stay with the SD ones, but not be afraid to experience with a HD choice if it appealing and see what happening during encoding.
e. In all this, you did not say what the duration is of this 481 MB VOB file. The standard DVD disc is spec'd at 4.7 GB/120 min. That 4.7 GB in reality is 4.3 GB. You will frequently see the recommendation "for best results, do not exceed 90 minutes on this standard type disc". When you have your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray and are in the burn dialog of Publish+Share/Disc/DVD make sure to check the Quality Area of the burn dialog for the Space Required and Bitrate reading (8.00 Mbps is the max reading).
Based on what you wrote, I suspect that most of your problems were related to incorrect project settings. By the way, if you want to get rid of a menu button text, most of the time double click the text to bring up the Change Text dialog, highlight the text there, hit the delete key of the computer, then hit the space bar or enter key.
If you are replacing the menu's audio, max 30 sec with looping. If you use motion buttons in the menu, max 4.9 seconds. After you get the details of the project setup OK, we can focus in more on the menus...number of Timeline markers etc, and customization of the menus from within the program.
Lots of details. The answers and successes will be in the details. All the contributors here have given you a lot of ideas for exploration and experimentation.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Looking forward to learning of your progress.
Thanks.

Ripping from DVD

Hello -- I have been asked to take footage from a DVD - not a commercial one, just one that they put their own footage on, & edit. So far, I've just been copying it onto a VHS, then importing that footage into my computer, then editing. But, am I able to download something like Mac the Ripper, and if so, does it 'rip' in real time? Or, is there something else I would have to buy, in order to do this? Thank you.
Kristina

MPEG Streamclip is free too and is more orientated to DVD format extracting/encoding than MacTheRipper . . . that is more orientated to do . . . well, that!

Ripping from DVDs

I'm trying to put together a reel and have been supplied with a bunch of my footage on DVD. I use Handbrake to rip to avi and figure it's best to convert to DV in Compressor before operating in FCP.
I'm encountering a problem that Compressor only sees the first few seconds of the avi files so I end up getting just a few seconds of bars. Is this an issue with my capture settings in Handbrake?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to a workflow for ripping from DVD? Should I be ripping to avi? Is Handbrake even the way to go? Should I try something else?
Thanks,
Stef

This question gets asked quite often, in fact, it was asked this morning.

ITunes crashes when importing/ripping from CD

This has been a niggling, occasional problem in the last months that is now consistent.
I cannot get iTunes on my W2K computer to import/rip from a CD. When I try, the progress bar shows no progress for many minutes (even if I request to just import one song), and then one of the following happens:
- iTunes quits
- the computer locks up
- I get a blue screen with very little info
Any ideas? I get this issue with either drive: my CD-ROM and my DVD burner. I'm considering completely uninstalling and reinstalling both iTunes and Quicktime, and doing the same for each of my CD drives.
Thanks!

if you still get the blue screen after trying those
troubleshooting suggestions, could you let us know
what numerical and text codes are you getting with
it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers]

if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us
know what that is called too. (exact spelling,
please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking
about:

if you're just seeing a "flash" of a blue screen, we
can use this technique to make hidden blue screens
appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control
Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's
"Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the
"Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Thanks b noir, if I see it again, I'll save it. They're of the ilk of referencing an invalid memory address.
I may not get that far though. On a whim, I checked to see if iTunes could even play the CDs - it can't. It indicates that it's playing, but the progress bar is still. There is also no sound.
I verified with the little CD player that comes with Windows. it too has the same problem on the same tracks (the problem gets worse as you go further into the CD). This is true for both my CD-ROM, and my Lightscribe DVD burner. With that, it sounds to me like a system problem that an iTunes fix can't solve.
I have no idea where to go, 'cept for uninstalling and reinstalling the drives. Sounds to me like I'm reloading Windows. High time, as I've been running this installation for over 3 years.

Audio from a DVD

I'm not sure where this should be posted, but I'm wondering if it's possible to "strip" the audio off of a dvd. In particular I have the Elton John Dream Ticket DVD that I would love to have the music from on my iPod. I guess if I upgraded to a video iPod I could do it, but short on change right now.
