Ripping DVDs to hard drive

Ok, I was wondering could anyone tell me if there is a program that allows you to rip DVDs to your hard drive? I have Sonic Record Now but that only seems to allow you to copy it to a blank DVD whereas I want to send it directly to the hard drive if possible. Does anyone know if you can do this?

Handbrake is one option - free and multiplatform (Mac, Windows & Linux). http://handbrake.fr/

Cheers skateguy, I'll give this a go.

I find DVD Decrypter to be the easiest to use mate.

I'm currently using one called Magic DVD Ripper. Its currently a trial version which gives you 5 go's at ripping before you have to buy. But is dead simple to use, which is why I like it.

Afternoon all,

Afraid I'm not the best when it comes to technical issues. I'm wanting to thin out my DVD collection, porn and all, but would like to keep electronic copies on my computer.

Does anyone know what programme is best for this and how to do it?

Many thanks in advance!

Personally, I use DVD Shrink. I find it excellent for transferring DVD's to my hard drive. You can even remove unwanted trailers and menu's, and re-encode it to whatever size you want.

hi thanks for your information
