DVDFab HD Decrypter ~ Fastest DVD Copy Software | Best DVD Decrypter from DVDFab

if you want iso's or the vob files, use "DVD decrypter."

if you want it as mp4 for ipods, use "ideal dvd to ipod converter"

oh im sorry, dvd decrypter has issues. use DVD shrink

DVD Decrypter doesn't have issues and neither does DVD Shrink, but neither one should be used for ripping as they haven't seen support for several years. DVDFab HD Decrypter is the only free ripper currently being updated. If you use Imgburn it doesn't matter if you have a VIDEO_TS folder or an ISO image as it will handle both types of input.

I use AoA DVD ripper. Works great, cost $40 online and they mail you a cd. I use it all the time and it's easy to learn, rips to multiple formats etc.

I would recommend DVD SHRINK also, I have had this running on my x64 vista machine with no problems what so ever for over a year now and have burnt many DVD'S with not one error, please note though that you also need to have nero installed in order for dvd shrink to work.

Hey,

I heard/tried DVDShrink on my Vista, and it doesnt work. WOuldnt let me install. I heard you have to go into the permission directory to let it work. WHat does DVDshrink actually do though, there is never a clear cut answer. Does it rip dvds into .avi files onto your computer because that is what Im after.

Cheers,

Not true at all, DVD Shrink will auto burn with Nero, Imgburn, DVD Decrypter or 1 Click DVD Copy.

DVD Shrink is a compression tool, it takes your DVD9 (dual layer DVD) and compresses it to fit on a single DVD% (Single Layer DVD). You should run DVD Shrink in compatability mode. It will only output to ISO or VIDEO_TS...no .avi for DVD Shrink.
