Ripping DVDs and Burning DVDs
I was wondering if I could rip DVDs on my iBook and if I could somehow rip only part of it, you know the beginning of Lost in Space, its so cool but the rest is so lame.
I also heard you can somehow burn DVDs on a CD but I wanted to know what format it has to be in, what software can change the format and what software can burn the movie on the Cd so I can watch it on my DVD player.
Quite long, thanks for the help

<strong>As in your other post, I think this time ripping and re-burning DVDS is illegal.

You can also use VLC to view the files ripped from the DVD with ffMPEGx, so in theory you could burn those files to a CD and use VLC to play them back...
then, open DVD player, (in Mac OS X 10.2) click onto "File" and then onto "Open VIDEO_TS", then select that folder from the DVD you just made a backup from.
this is especially useful for people who make DVD's for a living. this way, they won't have to burn a DVD each time they want to preview it.
mods, I think this is not about pirating, it is more about safe holidays.

I don't know about his other other post(s), but once I bought a DVD, I can rip it, burn it, as much as I want for my own use!
In any case, I tried to copy a DVD to my HD once on my iBook. Took more than an hour. Same thing on PC using smartripper took <5 minutes.
<strong>you can make a backup of your DVD by copying it over to your harddrive. just drag & drop.

I believe the DVD Backup is needed to break the CSS encryption if you want to transcode into another format like (S)VCD.
If you just want to watch it in the Apple DVD player then you can leave it encrypted as the program can (and does) descramble it on the fly, the same as it would from a physical DVD.
First is that correct and second what do I use to convert the file?
How good is DVD backup?
Thanks by the way

as an extension of this question...
what about individual movies from a DVD? like lets say i have 4 videos on a DVD and i want to "rip" one of them so i can send it to a friend over the internet...
possible
also: what about VCDs... would they be any different?
