Best DVD Copy Program?

[cwright]

Hi

I need to copy my holiday movie which i put on dvd last year to a divx cd for my cousin. Trouble is I have since deleted the original files that i created the dvd from so i can't remaster a new one. Does anyone know of any software that will rip a dvd to divx or a cd?

Handbrake Should do the trick.

why all at once? whats wrong with mactheripper then popcorn.. its not like you need to sit by the computer every step of the way.

MacTheRipper + Popcorn works pretty well for me.
Will try Fast DVD Copy for my girlfriend.

It's not illegal to use these apps, it becomes illegal if you use them to copy material owned by someone else under the copyright laws.

This thread is a good example of people discussing the use of technology without straying into areas that would get the thread wastelanded.

I think using a DeCSS program is illegal.

Ok, even though theres already been several posts like this I'll still recomend what I think is best for backing up DVD's.

First download MacTheRipper (this I feel is the fastest at backing up DVD's) of Version Tracker and use it to back up your DVD.
Once backed up compress with DVD2OneX (best for compressing DVD's IMO, good GUI, pretty quick to)
Once compressed to 4.4GB burn to DVD-R with Toast Titanium.

Out of all the methods I've used to back up my DVD's this is the fastest and my personal favourite, and I've backed up about 175 DVD's in total.

Or you could always use Roxio's Popcorn , which incorporates all these steps into one program, but I've read reviews that its slower than other methods and apps.

Popcorn won't let you burn copy-protected (CSS) DVDs.
