I want to put my DVD's on my hard Drive

I want to put some of my DVD's on my Hard Drive. Should I use DivX? What's the best program for this? Will "copy protected" DVD's do the wavy shit they do on my VCR?

Get MagicISO and just take your DVD and turn it into an image (iso). You won't lose any quality and can keep them in a single file.

 

It also makes a flawless copy for those of us who still file-share.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I use DVD Decrypyter, you can download it for free from the official website. Once you rip the VOB, you can use DVD 2 AVI program and the VOB will convert to AVI and then use TMPEG, another free program downloadable off their site, to covert it to MPG format.

What is the average size of the converted AVI and MPG files?

Can you dumb that down just a little bit?
