What's a safe DVD ripper to make copy of personal DVD movie and other movies?

What's a safe DVD ripper to make copy of personal DVD movie and then make a copy to another blank DVD?

The easiest way is to use Disk Utility to create a disk image of the DVD; you can then burn that to a blank DVD (and indeed play it using the DVD player).
Insert your DVD. Open Disk Utility and select it in the sidebar (the disk itself, not the drive it's in.) Click 'New Image' in the toolbar.
In the dialog box which opens set 'Image Format' to 'DVD/CD Master' and 'Encryption' to 'none'. This will make an exact copy without re-compressing.
Obviously this will not work on a commercially issued DVD, only on ones you make yourself or which are not DRM protected.

Know a good dvd ripper for mac?

I just downloaded handbrake and it's taking about an hour to get through 10%. Does anyone know a good dvd to ipod converter that is free and compatible with a mac?
thanks

Yeah, it could certainly be due to the 2-pass encoding setting.
If you're at 10% on the 2nd pass after 1 hour... that's entirely normal.
2-pass encoding will yield a higher quality video file, but it will take roughly twice as long to encode.

Good DVD ripper in App Store?

Need to extract non-copyrighted material from a client DVD and convert to H.264. Been using DVDxDV but that only converts to DV. Any recommendations?
Best.
Tom

To use it insert a DVD and launch Handbrake.
This window should appear. Click on the DVD which should be in the left column and then click the Open button (bottom right).
(Click these images to enlarge for clarity.)
This window will now appear offering a lot of options but you will probably get the best and fastest results by leaving everything in the default settings.
If the default Destination is not suitable, change it.
Click the Start button near the top left and wait for the encoding to finish.

Best DVD ripper

What is the best DVD ripper(free please) for windows?

Unfortunately, here is an excerpt to the ToU here:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
You can look at the entire ToU by clicking on the link at the bottom of every page.
Now, if you want to copy a movie you made previously, that would be perfectly okay and you can use something like Handbrake for it.

Good DVD maker

what''s a good dvd maker for mac besides idvd?

Hello,
I personally prefer iMovie and iDVD as a package (produce in iMovie and finalize / format in iDVD).
But, a very, very popular alternative is Toast:

If you have a larger budget, the pros use:
DVD Studio Pro:

What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but they won't let me email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

What format shiould i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

what format should i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake
Neither is suitable for burning DVDs or BluRay media. They are DVD rippers/converters, not DVD authoring tools. Handbrake doesn't produce any format suitable for DVD Authoring. And while MacDVD Ripper can create .mov files even that's not a guarantee the file can be used for DVD authoring. You need DVD Authoring software like Roxio Toast to burn DVDs or BluRay disks.
Most BluRay players can play both standard def DVDs and high def BluRay disks. Which kind do you want to burn? And what exactly is your source media (video) that you want to burn?
And if you want to burn BluRay disks, you need a BluRay burner.

What software is good to burn DVDs from my iMac ?.

It's what iDVD is for. If you don't have it:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

DVD ripper software recommendations for OS 10.4

Having a heck of a time trying to rip a dvd of a performance of mine, so there is no copyright issue here. Tried Mac the Ripper, didn't work (kept quitting). Also heard of Handbrake and DVD Ripper. Can't seem to find a version that will run with OS 10.4.11. These products are either unavailable or are updated and won't work on my Mac. I've thought of upgrading to 10.5, but that's hard to find as well, and costs an arm and a leg through other people. Apple doesn't seem to even have that as a basic download anymore. HELP! Any suggestions on what I can do to rip my DVD onto my hard drive so I can edit?

Please be aware that Fair Use, the doctrine that allows the back-up of your DVD/CDs for personal is not currently legally accepted in the UK and many countries outside of the US.
Hence, here it is illegal to copy DVD's to any format and circumventing the copy protection is a breach of the copyright owners rights.
Whilst I accept that copying is inevitable (you thieving bast*rds...!), please keep discussion away from any information about breaking DRM etc, as we will not allow the forums to be used for discussion of illegal activities.
Mac DVD Ripper is very good and is my primary ripper. I also have RipIt which is pretty good too. MDRP is often discounted to around $35 and has been worth it for me.
It seems well supported and is updated frequently. Nothing bad to say about RipIt, but it does have less options.
Thanks.

Which dvd ripper does apple use

looking to copy all my dvd to the apple tv was wondering , does anyone know which dvd ripper apple uses for the new movie rentals
thanks for your time

Like the others have said - you want to definitely make sure you use the AppleTV preset.
Depending on how well versed you are you may want to spend some time on the handbrake forums. I wouldn't recommend posting there unless you know exactly what you're talking about as they don't suffer much for noobs.
I read a lot on there, it's tough to understand at first but well worth the knowledge to encode well.
AppleTV preset is pretty good. You can always revup your average bit rate from 2500 to 3000 if you like.
The only changes I make to my AppleTV preset is that I check Two Pass Encoding and do not check Turbo First Pass. It takes 5-6 hours for me to encode a movie so I run one while at work and one when I go to bed. But the quality is great with only minimal blocking in dark blue/black nighttime scenes otherwise it looks better than the DVD source due to solid encoding and upscaling on the AppleTV.

What's a good video cature device?

So I was wondering, what is a good media capture device for
streaming? I'm thinking an external for portability purposes. Also
when I buy one, whats a good software to get along with it? Adobe
Premiere Elements, Sony Vegas+DVD Production Suite? I'm sort of new
to the video side of web design.
Also, if i'm doing HD. Would I have to buy on of those really
expensive ones? Not just the ones for DV. But also, MPEG/HD/HDV
etc.?

I'm also using 1680x1050 on two wide screen monitors on two different nvidia cards. a nvidia7900 and a nvidia6800. Everything works fine. They are set up as independent screens. The third monitor isen't a wide screen and it's on a third card nvidia geforce4. Anyway, if it helps, you can find my xorg.conf file in the wiki. It's the last one in the list.

The only thing I changed in the file since I posted it was the order of the font paths.

Best CLI DVD ripper IYO?

What's the best CLI DVD ripper IYO?
There are quite a few options as far as ripping a DVD from the commandline goes; there's burn, the python script, or dvd-backup, another decent command line utility, or the script on the wiki for use with mplayer's mencoder.
I'm looking for opinions as to which is the best, or alternatively, why you like the one you've got. Being a CLI-fanatic, I want the best ripper I can run in a terminal, with the lowest number of dependencies possible, and preferably no gui at all (i.e. not mencoder, which requires you to have mplayer installed) :cry:
Your thoughts?

shadowhand wrote:Two questions about dumping DVDs: Can you loopmount the dump? And if so, can you rip the loopmount? :shock:
You can loopmount it with mount -o loop movie.img. But why would you want to? You can play them with mplayer -dvd-device movie.img dvd:// or set the dvd device node of your favorite multimedia player to movie.img.
As for the second question: I'm not entirely sure. There'll probably some dvd rippers that can rip from an image. I also know that FreeBSD has a program (vndconfig?) that can create a device node that points at the image. I'm not sure Linux can do something like that. But again: why would you want to?

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.
