You dirty pirate you...
 

Ok, i admit, i'm a cheap, dirty little whore of a man and deserve lashings. now that that's out of the way... anyone know where i can get free dvd ripping software? all the stuff ive download from googled websites are just trial versions which do like 5 minutes then quit (lame! :thumbsdow )
and our local best buy/circuit city/everywhere else that sells software just took all the dvd ripping software off the shelves cause they're awesome like that.

try Here

I just went through the same search.

Try this.

It's a multi-step process, but you end up with a high quality rip at the end.

Thanks all for you're help.. Especially you sm, for helping me affirm my stance against the RIAA and Metallica ( :finger: )and all those other whiners. CD and dvd sales only suck cause most movies an music sucks nowadays.

:skull: PIRATES FOREVER! :skull:

yeah, everything sucks ..

... but not so bad that you'll pass up a chance to download it free, right?

The thing is sales don't suck, they're breaking new highs. When they start paying artists I'll start paying for their products. When they stop ramming though legislation to extend copyright, I'll consider paying for their products, when they stop trying to quash new technologies to defend an outdated oligarchy I'll consider paying for their products. I've bought 30 CDs in the last 5 months, all of which are from independant labels, I'm happy to pay for music, I'm not happy to pay for a lobbying organisation that rips off artists and tries to modify the boundries of what is legal to suit it's bottom line.

You can now pay for and download DRM-free, 192kpbs mp3s from 150 different completely independent artists from itsaboutmusic.net

..although the guy should really combine his itsaboutmusic.com (CDs and DVDs) and itsaboutmusic.net (MP3) into one store... I have to convince the gent of this

Not much there of interest but Ill keep an eye open. As a rule I prefer to buy CDs, I rip lossless and I'm done, If i need to convert it into something lossy I can easily and I don't need to have the CD with me.

Amen Jag. and yes sm, most current, big name artists aren't putting out music worthy of my hard earned money so why should i pay for it? If they are getting mad that they are losing part of their already small cut from the recording indusrty then they should do somthing about it. But hey I'm just a consumer, what do I know about buying and selling things.

On another note, I'm happy to see that i got the almighty UT to post on my thread! :D

Seriously, please treat me like a regular user for discussion purposes! I ain't almighty nothin' and need to be taught where I'm wrong.

Yeah, UT puts his cape on like everyone else. Besides he doesn't keep cats and drives his mother to distraction. :p

One time I saw UT spike a puppy and do an endzone dance, just because he could.

You want to copy the movies to another DVD or park them on your harddrive?

I park them to my harddrive using
