What tool can I use to to rip DVD movies? [closed]
What tool can I use to to rip DVD movies? I have used "Dr. DivX" long back. Is there any better tool to rip DVDs?
Handbrake
HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
Input:
- Any DVD-like source: VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD (unencrypted--protection methods including CSS are not supported internally and must be handled externally with third-party software and libraries), and some .VOB and .TS files
- Most any multimedia file it can get libavformat to read and libavcodec to decode.
Output:
- File format: MP4, MKV,
--AVI--or OGM - Video: MPEG-4, H.264, or Theora (1 or 2 passes or constant quantizer/rate encoding)
- Audio: AAC, MP3, Vorbis or AC-3 pass-through (supports encoding of several audio tracks)

Here are some good tutorials:

Depends on how many features you need, and how proficient you are in doing things.
Personally I prefer simple, so I always use Fair Use Wizard (freeware).
I use DVDDecrypter to rip, and AutoGK to do the actual encoding. It's a two-step process, but I haven't found a simple encoder that supports removing CSS, so you'll always have to rip encrypted DVD's. AutoGK is a single screen app where you set the source and the output, sound options and optionally subtitle options, then you add the job to a queue. Start the queue and out pops your DivX or XVid AVI file a little bit later.
