It’s hard to believe in the iTunes era of blink-and-you-miss-them CD rips, but in the mid-90s, ripping a CD was a time-consuming process, fraught with peril. Ripping a single disc to 128kbps MP3 could take 8 hours on a 200MHz Pentium! Fast forward a decade, with faster hardware and better software and CD ripping is so mainstream your mom does it.
Ripping DVDs and transcoding the video stored within into more efficient formats involves an order of magnitude more scary math than ripping audio CDs. A machine that will rip the latest Miley Cyrus CD in moments could take hours to extract and convert your copy of AVP to an iPod-friendly format. However, with the right software, a quad-core equipped PC, and a little know-how, you can cut your disc rip time from hours to 20 or 30 minutes. There are still plenty of tricks and traps for first-time rippers, but we’ll show you the basics, then walk you through the secrets of ripping power users everywhere.
However, the first thing you need to decide is simple: what player are you ripping your discs for? Are you ripping for a portable player, like the PSP or iPhone? Would you rather stream to device in your living room, like the Xbox 360, PS3, or Popcorn Hour? Are you simply interested in making an archival-quality DVD rips, in case you lose your collection? More likely, you’re probably looking for a combination of all three of these things. We’ll show you how to rip your DVD to a file suitable for streaming that consumes a fraction of the disk space of a DVD but maintains full video and audio quality. Then you can take that file, and convert it for whatever other devices you might have, like a PSP or an iPod. For the purposes of this story, we're going to focus on DVD rips. Getting ahold of unencrypted high-defintion video legally is still pretty tricky. We'll update with Blu-ray ripping info as ripping Blu-ray gets easier.
With the preliminaries out of the way, let’s get started.
There are several different factors that determine the compatibility of your ripped video files. The resolution of the video, the video and audio codecs, the container format used, and even more esoteric things like the framerate can affect whether your video will work on your device of choice. If you just rip discs as you need the content and then delete files afterward, simply rip to the target of choice. However, if you want to build an archive of ripped movies, we recommend that you use open, widely-supported codecs and containers at the native resolution of the DVD, and then transcode the files as you need them to lower resolutions and bitrates. Naturally, we’ll show you how to do both.
Your player selection also impacts your choices when it comes to audio tracks and subtitle support. While the most common container formats, mp4 and mkv, support multiple track and subtitle streams in one file, few players will work with multiple audio tracks, and an even smaller subset will work with subtitles. That means you need to rip a single audio track—typically the main movie’s English soundtrack—and burn the subtitles into the video, rather than leave them as separate streams inside the container.
Bitrate is a little trickier. Most hardware players will handle whatever bitrate you select, especially if they're designed for high-definition playback. Both consoles and the AppleTV support high-definintion files, so they're more than capable of playing DVD-resolution video at whatever bitrate you choose. However, the higher a bitrate you choose, the larger the file will be. From our testing, we found the sweet spot for most movies to be around 2000kbps average, but we cranked it up to 2500kbps for movies with a lot of action. If your hardware supports high-profile H.264 (Xbox 360, PS3, and the Apple TV do, but many portable players don't), you can get away with a lower bitrate. With 1.5TB hard drives available for about $180 now, we'd rather rip at a too-high bitrate to ensure maximum quality video than save a few hundred MB of disk space.
We typically recommend ripping to the MP4 container, it’s widely supported on both streaming devices and portables. Furthermore, the tools for manipulating the streams within the file are established and easy to use, which makes it easy to transcode your video to a less supported format for a specific player.
Typically, DVDs include multiple subtitle streams that serve different purposes. Nearly every DVD has some English subtitles, even non-foreign language movies. It’s important that you understand the difference between subtitles and closed captions. Subtitles are simply the dialog from the movie written across the bottom of the screen. Closed captions include subtitles, but they also include audio cues that help people with impaired hearing enjoy the movie fully.
While closed captions are present on almost every disc, many English-language movies also use subtitles to show what a character speaking a foreign language is saying. On some discs, these subtitles will be hidden in a separate stream, while in others, they’ll be mixed in with the closed-captions, but marked so that the DVD player only shows the proper captions. Regardless, it’s crucial that you get the proper subtitles for all the films you rip. Otherwise, you’ll never know what Jabba or Greedo are saying in Star Wars, and watching a long expository scene in another language without the benefit of subtitles sucks.
In practice, the first English subtitle track is typically the one that includes subtitles and forced or otherwise, while the second subtitle track is the one that includes closed captions.

I am using Handbrake and AnyDVD HD. When I look into the STREAM directory, I dont' see just one file that has the whole movie on it. It seems like all of the bigger files are just parts of the movie. How do I get it compressed or encoded or whatever into just one .mp4?
I have tried to burn the disc a couple times, and I THOUGHT I had a good file, but every time I run it, it says that Quicktime (or any other program) can't play it because it's an unrecognized file format?
Help!

Aunsoft Studio, powerful and professional multimedia software provider, updates its products, especially Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac , by adding output profile of iPhone 4 (.mp4) for iPhone 4 users.
"When the first Apple iPad launched on the market, our R& D experts spent day and night optimizing the MTS Converter for Mac by adding the output profile support for iPad tech specs," says Jack, CEO of Aunsoft Studio, "now, with the latest release of iPhone 4, it is easy to get the detailed specs in which the video format is specified as H.264 up to 720p. In order to help those users who want to import HD or Blu-ray videos to iPhone 4, our engineers dedicated to the ultimate solution."
The updated version of Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac offers two alternatives of output profiles, including iPhone 4 MPEG-4 640*480 (*.mp4) and iPhone 4 H.264 720P (*.mp4). Choosing either of them, users are able to freely get satisfactory videos. Take FIFA 2010 World Cup as an example, if someone recorded an exciting game and wants to transfer to iPhone 4, what he or she should do is to convert the camcorder videos to MP4. Besides, converting flash videos to iPhone 4 is also available with this software.
Apart from the inherent conversion, this software boasts the unique capability, that is, powerful decryption and backup. With it, users could easily remove AACs, all region code (RPC), and BD+copy protection from Blu-ray discs. It is indeed a good news for movie fans who want to import Blu-ray movies like Iron Man to Home Theater or some popular devices for sharing with families and friends.
Comparing with similar software on the market, the most distinct characteristic lies in that Aunsoft adopted unprecedented audio and video synchronization technology, which marks the big breakthrough in the industry of multimedia software. Meantime, it essentially helped many customers to solve the annoying audio and video out-of-sync issue or inferior quality.
As it predicted, this launch of Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac will attract global attention. Just as the slogan of Aunsoft Studio reveals, remember our smile, share the joy with the world. Now, let us wait and watch!

Great article. But it's no more useful for me now coz i've switched to Mac. And now I am using Aimersoft DVD Ripper for Mac to convert DVDs for my iPod and iPhone. Although it's not the most powerful one, it's quite easy to use and convert with high speed and excellent quality.

I use DVDFAB, bought it have not looked back. Rip anything, using AMD Athlon Dual X2 6400, with XP Pro 2Gigs Ram and an Nvidia 8800GT card. Full movie Ripped to Ipod format, which is all I do, takes about 30 minutes. Plays great on my Ipod Touch, no issues. Have not done anything else with it. But works great. Multiply formats and DVD to DVD, one stop shop.

I'm trying to follow the March 2009 article, and things seem to go right until I start ripping the DVD. I've had 2 different outcomes, so far:
1) Left overnight and I come back to find the computer has been reset. At first I didn't suspect anything, but then it did it while I was sitting there watching it.
2) Handbrake seems to have completed the rip, but the file *.m4v won't play anywhere.
I am trying to rip a DVD so I can watch on my 2nd Gen iPOD Nano, if that makes any difference. I can watch the movie fine on the computer, so I don't think there is a hardware problem anywhere.
Any advice would be helpful.

I've followed the article's instructions to the letter and I cannot get this to work. Sadly, I'm doing this on a dual core Athlon, so each try takes 3-4 hours to find out that it didn't work - again. It makes the mp4 file correctly (I think), and I can even play the file with Quicktime, but the TwonkyMedia Manager will not play the file. It recognizes it, and it shows up in the list, but when I click play it just sits there, well, sometimes it will randomly crash, but it usually just sits there. I threw in some order crappy avi files that I ripped awhile back and of course it recognizes and plays those ones fine. Any ideas on what I'm missing? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing everything twice already. Handbrake is making the file, and it plays in Quicktime so it obviously works, which leads me to believe that the problem is with TwonkyMedia Manager, and there isn't much help out there for this program. Has anyone else had a similar problem and fixed it? I'm using Vista (32-bit) and DVD43. My final mp4 files are in the 2GB size range.

After many years of trying all dvd rippers the only one for me is DVDFAB. Very cheap and has worked everytime. I use DVD-R DL. Using double layer DVD's made all the difference in the world if you want a high quality backup everytime.

I've tried three or four software programs recommended by Max PC and friends, and the best solution (thanks to my friend Chris!) is as follows: PURCHASE your DVD or HDDVDs. Go to SlySofts's web site. PURCHASE and install AnyDVD to "normalize" your disk and ready it for copying. PURCHASE and install SlySoft's CloneDVDmobile to convert to just about every mobile device on the market (I use iPhone 16 GB). For about $100.00 USD you get the easiest, and best supported software available, with no cryptic user interface and no BS!
I have a Quad 9450 @ 2.7 GHz, and about 40 minutes later you have a perfect, 700 to 800 MB, high quality MP4 file that iTunes recognizes and syncs. So long boring plane trips and thanks SlySoft for making this task a no brainer! I'm in the process of converting my library, and with a Quad 4 SlySofts software works quietly in the background while I play DOD online.

Or you could use DVDfab HD Decrypter for free and use handbrake along side like I do. It works fine for me to encode to most of my consoles and portable devices......

I've a few choice words to add about some of these Disney DVDs. I have 2 girls and they aren't gentle with anything. Naturally, its a lot cheaper to copy all of their discs to the cheap, reburnable alternative. Every DVD they have I've had no problem ripping to an iso and burning back to a blank...several times. Forget HD and Blu-ray for now. I only have a regular old DVD burner. Which brings me to my point. Disney DVDs are damn near impossible to rip. From time to time I get lucky but lately no dice. Maybe its my house but neither the Laptop nor the Desktop PC can rip these. On a good day, VLC or Power DVD will play them fine but I've not had any luck ripping. Dvd43 hasn't been helpful although I use it quite frequently with other DVDs. I do revert to DVD Decrypter in times of need and it's pretty good with Sony films, but not Disney. Will, since you're the resident expert, is there a confirmed solution that has consistently worked for you guys? The obvious answer is probably AnyDVD, of which my wife won't let me spend the $80 USD so I'm lookin for another solution.
P.S. I'd love to hear Gordon's rant about this topic...

I use AnyDVD by SlySoft to rip DVD's and the older DVDShrink to make em fit on single layer DVDR's. If the latest released DVD has an encryption that AnyDVD cant handle, they'll update it. DVDShrink still works for most older DVD's for ripping btw.

I read a few comments on the blu-ray burning, so there isn't a free program to allow us to back up our BD discs? I followed the directions for Handbrake and love it, but I'd like to back up my collection of BD discs, my niece has that Disney Collection on BD and is already taking crayons to them :(
I've read another review on Nero Ultra 8, but it's $100, would be $50 if I could find my old box of 7 Ultra, lost in a move. Any free products or can Handbrake do it as well?

I've been having fun with media coder for converting music from itunes (which I can't wait to use up my gift card and cancel, but that's another article). Anyone do some quality and versatility comparisions with it? It seems to have a TON of codecs, including some audio options super didn't have.
P.S. I figured out how to make super "join" VOB files and rip directly from DVD. Both it and DVDx have sync issues for me though over an hour show, regardless of codec. I'll try handbrake again. Nero is great, unfortunately I have 6 ultra, which only encodes video to nero's proprietary h264. It's beautiful, but I can't play it anywhere.

Wouldnt bababoom take care of that blu-ray to PSP for you?
By the way, I believe that MaximumPC is a strong believer of open source apps like Handbrake instead of 30 bucks for bababoom.
As for my previous post regarding DVR-MS and closed captioning. I am having some troubles with using open source apps such as cc extractor because it returned NO CAPTIONS while i know that it has captions on the DVR-MS but it worked on DVD.
I found this app, VideoReDo for 80 dollars which works well but you need to know how to enable this like on this forum http://www.videoredo.net/msgBoard/showthread.php?t=6470 it worked without a hitchand I am happy to back up DVR-MS format to DVDs for future enjoyment.
I am going to try to use cc extractor to rip CC from DVDs then send the DVD through Handbrake to MP4, then use quicktime pro to blend CC back into MP4 and you can play the video with CC option ON/OFF on IPOD, iPhone, quicktime, etc. Which is fablous in my option.
Perhaps MaximumPC have something easier and quicker?

Using AnyDVD to ready the disk for copying, I tried it extensively over a period of one month compared directly to Slysofts CloneDVDmobile. The files were of lower quality (even on the High setting) and about 300 to 400 MB larger. I had to stay with SlySofts's solution even though I REALLY wanted to like BadaBoom! I think the Cuda technology offered by NVidia is a great idea and applaud the folks at BadaBoom for their efforts. Hope this helps.
