I need some software to rip dvds. Free is best. If there is a software that just lets you rip select chapters that would be ideal.
suggestions?
-
DVD Decrypter and dvd shrink are both free and all you need. as for riping just chapters not sure about that.

DVD Decrypter and dvd shrink
Both are as good as it gets. I use DVDShrink quite often. Both are free but only DVDShrink is updated anymore. I think the DVDecrypter author was threatened by the RIAA/MPAA so he decided to stop developing it but the last version still works like a charm.
-
Actually, he was threatened by SOme compaNY that wanted to make sure he couldn't program it to defeat new copy protection they were planning to release.
-
BTW, It seems that a new version of DVDecrypter surfaced recently...
Not sure it the same guy is working on it though.
-
I haven't found any update since DVD Decrypter v3.5.4.0 ???
Which is pretty good, but it can't properly decrypt everything :(

do you remember where exactly you found it. I'd like to grab it.
-
I didn't get it.
Apparantly it was on the newsgroups but I don't have reliable usenet access.

Sound like someone may have just screwed around with it. DVD Decrypter is pretty well known and if a new version was out I am sure it would have spread like a wildfire. Thanks though for being on the lookout.
Ed- I think you and I probably have all of the same programs on our computers because it seems like either I am speaking about cool new software or you are and it seems to always be the same software. :) Maybe its just great minds thinking alike. +T to ya

There is no doubt that Decrypter and Shrink are the power apps of choice when it comes to ripping/encoding, so I'm not even coming close to saying that this suggestion is in that realm. HOWEVER, there is a sweet all-in-one app called DVDx that is a little clunky at first to get the hang of, but is awesome in it's ease of use as an all-in-one app. Not sure, but I think it might even be built out of the others apps. Another nice thing is that you don't have to decypt a copy to your HD, you can just rip straight from the DVD, which is nice if you don't have the extra gigs around.

DVD Shrink makes it possible for to take out almost any part of a DVD. Things like extra languages, subtitles, extra scenes, different audio formats (5.1, 2.0, etc.) and just copy the actual movie itself and not all the other stuff. It does not let you just grab certain scenes or chapters.
If you just want to grab a scene or two I use TMPG DVD Source Creator 2.0

I believe they have a trial version on the homepage or I know you can find the full version on certain other sites.

Festival Express. It seems to rip OK, but gets buffer underrun errors trying to burn, even at 1X... ???
