Use DVDFab
If you want to rip a store-bought DVD to your Hard Drive, go ahead, and thank DVD Jon (the teen who hacked open CSS encryption)! You have one rule, though. Don't share your backup. It belongs to you, and you only.
Steps
- Download DVDFab Decrypter (scroll down for the link).
- Install DVDFab on your Hard Drive, and open it up.
- Select "Main Movie" on the left column.
- Pop your DVD into your DVD drive.
- Select a target folder to dump your DVD into.
- Mess around with it until you like the settings.
- Hit the "Start" button to start the decryption.
- Congrats! You just ripped a DVD! Now you need to convert it to a format that QuickTime or Windows Media can play.
- Download HandBrake (scroll down for the link).
- Unzip the file and open the EXE named "wxHB".
- Follow the wizard, and wait for it to finish.
- Go to the directory where you stored your file that you made in HandBrake, and add .mp4 to the end of the file name.
- You successfully ripped a DVD!
Warnings
- Do not share this backup with anyone else! It's illegal!
