1107523 2010-06-07 00:28:00 Hi all

I have numerous music DVD's, both concert and video.

What I want to do is rip the DVD's to my hard drive so that I can eventually have each song saved as a separate video file. S for example if the DVD has twenty videos from a particular band then I want to have twenty individual video files stored on my hard drive so I can pick and choose what to play.

From what I have read I would need to rip the entire DVD to avi or similar first then edit that avi file to split it into separate video files.

The problem is all the research I have done seem to push certain pieces of pay software with reviews done by the distributors of the software.

Has anybody got experience with the best combination of software/technique to provide the best quality results?

I would be interested to hear anyone's opinion that has done this.

Thanks.

1107524 2010-06-07 00:32:00 DVD Decrypter should be able to rip them to separate VOB files, then you can convert them to another format afterwards (if you want to) Agent_24 (57)

1107526 2010-06-07 01:32:00 Yep, either of the programs suggested above should be fine, and then you can convert to AVI using Handbrake or AutoGK

1107528 2010-06-07 03:21:00 +1 for DVD decrypter. So long as the songs are stored as separate files on the DVD, you can just copy 'em to your HDD, then either play them as-is with something like VLC, or convert them to a more common format using Handbrake, or VLC (I'd stick to handbrake if I was you though). ubergeek85 (131)

Couldn't get Decrypter to work but have managed to get Shrink to work and all is good.

Thanks for all your help!
