I just got a new Dell Desktop with 1.5 TB hard drive and was wondering how to copy DVD's (commercial-store bought legit DVD's) to your PC. I only have about 30, mainly consisting of Stones, The Who and a couple others. It would be handy to have them all right on the drive. I'm a fairly good techie when it comes to audio but know nothing about DVD's. I had a couple boot DVD's that I was able to copy the TS etc. files which kind of worked but obviously the legit DVD's are copy protected. I'd like to make one long windows media file if possible. I'm not against actually buying th software LOL if it works well, but free would be good too!

DVDShrink is ideal for ripping DVDs to computer & removing copy protection / region codes.

Wow - thanks for the quick response, i'll give it a try.

Yeah, DVDShrink is great - I've been using it for a long time.

But I'm pretty sure it won't create one long windows media file, for that you may want to try this:

That software is supposed to be paid for, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a registration number on the net... *cough*

I can't get that link to work for some reason. Just google "ImTOO DVD Ripper".
