DVD "Ripping"

[Warik]

There are a few cool scenes in a movie I have on DVD that I want to turn into MPEGs or AVIs for quick and easy viewing. I have a DVD player on my PC, but none of the software required for this procedure.

Does anyone know what kind of software I will need to successfully get these few scenes into MPEG or AVI format?

Thanks,

Y'know, I've thought about doing this too, but the only way I can come up with to do it is to run my DVD player into my vidcap card, recapture it, and edit it that way.

I'm sure there's a way to pull the entire scene off the DVD, and then edit it down, but I don't know what you'd use to rip it. Adobe Premiere's good for editing tho.

You ripping a DVDA scene from a porn or something?

How'd you like last week's Smallville epidsode? I thought it was the best one yet. I was cracking up when Clark was caught cleaning up the mess after the party.

Last week's Smallville was cool. The krytonite mutated supervillains appearing every week are starting to annoy me, though. Superman, the real Superman, in the TV series had PLENTY to do dealing with regular criminals - so why can't lil' Clark?

Hell... how about some dangerous NORMAL criminals planning a robbery of the local Smallville bank? Or maybe some pissed off farmers planning to blow up the LexCorp fertilizer plant? Or better yet, some kind of airplane malfunction causing a plane to lose all its fuel or lose a wing and get out of control preparing to nose dive... only to be reported on the news... which lil' Clark normally could do nothing about, only he realizes that mommy and daddy are on the plane and he reaches deep down inside and realizes that HE CAN FLY and saves mom and dad and everyone on the plane. Look at that - cool episodes that do not require: "hi I stuffed some kryptonite in a blender and now I'm a carnivorous hotty" foolishness.

Oh, and no, I'm not ripping a scene from a porn movie. Just Dolph Lundgren kicking Skeletor's ass from Masters of the Universe. =)

Those villains are getting pretty ridiculous. I think you're right, it'd be a lot better if they were normal people.

Did you find the software on that site I listed?

They have 3 different rippers under the Downloads/Requirements link.

 

[Warik]

Yup. Just read some of it over. Thanks a lot for the site - looks like it will do the trick. Now I've just got to find some time to read it thoroughly, download the software, and free up enough space on my HD to work with. I have a 30 gig drive and only 1 gig left because I've been downloading too many Star Trek episodes. Time to move them to CD.

dvd ripping will take a long while to occur. if you have the hardware, fast chip and mega amounts of RAM, you should be able to cut a dvd in about five hours, given you have sufficient hard drive space.
