Absolute easiest way to rip DVD

Post by billanben »   0 likes

Hi all
If this has already been answered sorry. I have NERO 7 premium and want to know the EASIEST way to rip DVD to avi/mpg etc, also what is the easiest way to convert AVI/MPG etc to DVD - again using NERO if possible.

If someone knows absolutely easiest way please can you post - if not using NERO then what is best (freeware only please).

Thanks to all in advance

Some of the techies might sneer at me, but the absolutely easiest way to rip a DVD is using Nero Recode (one of the helper apps bundled with Nero Premium.

Like this post to see ed2k links  [150.95 MiB]

Start Nero Recode.
Choose 'Recode main movie to Nero Digital'. Next.
Click 'Import DVD' and browse to the DVD or folder containing the DVD files.
Select sound track (if more than one is available on DVD)
Select Subtitle (Hard coded subs are not recommended. Set to none and Use SubRip to OCR the subs and create a srt (text based) subtitle)
Enable 'fit to target'
Select number of CDs 1 or 2. Next.
Select destination: hard disk folder
Select target folder (browse)
Click Burn. :)

You can play with the settings if you need to do more, but the default settings are fine for simple ripping.

The output file has an .mp4 extension. Most media players play this without fuss. VLC is great. If the mp4 extension bothers you, just rename to avi.
