    The Last DVD and Blu-Ray Ripping Guide You'll Ever Need

    Really good and in depth writeup by MaximumPC for those of us that like to back up our movies.

    The Last DVD and Blu-Ray Ripping Guide You'll Ever Need

    Copying and transcoding the disc’s video into more efficient formats involves math an order of magnitude scarier than what’s required to rip audio CDs. A machine that will rip the latest Miley Cyrus CD in mere moments could take hours to extract and convert your copy of Alien vs. Predator to an iPod-friendly format. But with the right software, a quad-core-equipped PC, and a little know-how, you can cut your disc-rip time from hours to 30 minutes. Plenty of tricks and traps still await first-time rippers, but we’ll show you the basics and then walk you through some of the most valuable power-user ripping secrets.



    Stoop and you'll be stepped on; stand tall and you'll be shot at.

    This was just posted over at Lifehacker. It is to help make the Handbreak program easier to use:

    Here is an answer to a question a lot of people have:

    I want to watch a movie I have ripped (I use SlySoft AnyDVD). I don’t know how to get the movie to run in one piece. I have to play the movie in sections. I have Nero 7 and PowerDVD but it happens the same way with either.

    WinX DVD Author would normally set you back $30, Ripper $25, but both are free downloads during October, Windows only. (They even support Windows 7 32- and 64-bit).

    This is pretty good news:

    Anything that speeds it up is a very good thing.

    Lots of info you can learn from the reader comments as always.

    Re: The Last DVD and Blu-Ray Ripping Guide You'll Ever Need

    Maximum PC just posted one of the best how to guides for Handbreak I have seen

    The Power User's Guide to Video Encoding with Handbrake

    Very worth a skim, even if you don't rip often so at least you can remember what it can do when you do need to.

    This is pretty cool news:
    VidCoder Streamlines HandBrake's UI for Easy Ripping and Converting
    Handbreak can be kind of confusing, and anything that makes it easier is welcome.

    It should be noted that handbreak does not work with blu-ray discs. It also should be noted that the original article cited does not address blu-ray ripping at all.
