DVD ripping

[Hinrichisgod]

i'm still confused - If i dont need to convert them to .avi or .mpg, how do i view them in a media player, i.e. divx, windows media player, etc...???

I personally use DVD X Copy for copying DVD's, and it works great. You basically pop the DVD in, the program temporarily saves the file, then you pop in a blank DVD, and it compresses and burns the files, including menus, bonus features, etc.

It's a pretty foolproof program.

but can anyone answer my question concerning converting the files and what not and transferring them to another pc to burn?

dvd has .vob (mpeg2 files), .ifo (the file that control the vob files) and .bup (ifo backups files). you need a software dvd decoder (power dvd, Windvd) to play them. real one and window media player will borrow that codec of that software to read the dvds after you install them
