If you have nero go with that. It's good and depending on the profile you use it can be quite a bit faster than Videora in my experience.

I downloaded Videora-seems quite simple to use.
Now-how do I rip a DVD onto my computer??

x2 i use this aswell
but i also started to use videora more recently
only problem is cant use videora for tv shows and i cant figure out a way to add a whole batch of videos to queue instead of just one at a time, which for movies is fine but for tv shows, forget it.

Read the guide. They tell you to use DVD Decrypter. I don't know if that is the best option.

If you don't have Nero, Handbrake + DVD43 is an excellent (and free) combination. Using the two, there is no need to use DVD Decrypter and I don't think it slows down Handbrake any.

google, and you can find a lot

Subtitles can be added with handbrake....

Videora works fine with me. Converts movies in minutes and im converting them to the best audio quality you can with videora.

I have used PQDVD during the 30 day trial and found it very easy to use. It's $40, but I'm going to eventually buy it.

Sorry to kick this somewhat old thread but I've been having a little trouble with this. I got an iPod Nano for Christmas and have been playing around with video.

I've tried both the Handbrake + DVD43 and the DVD Decrypter + Videora combos and was able to get both working. I had some problems with a disc using Handbrake, where the rip and conversion seemed to work but the iPod wouldn't accept the file. Subsequently, I went to the DVD Decrypter/Videora combo for a few conversions.

However, I noticed I started getting a BSOD with the error message "Kernel_Stack_Inpage_Error." I deleted all of the programs and the error stopped but it caused other problems, such as windows installer trying to continuously start up and then interminable times for the computer to boot and load up.

I've solved all of my issues and the computer seems to be running OK now but I'm reluctant to install any of these programs again. Has anyone had any computer problems related to these video ripper and encoding programs? Are any more stable or cause less conflicts than the others? I love having movies on my Nano but not at the expense of an unusable PC.

Did you try the combination of DVD decrypter + Handbreak?

I would advise you to give DVD decrypter another try. I've never had any issues and it's the best app to get a DVD on your harddrive and used by a lot of people. If it had severe bugs, they should be well known.

To transcode a DVD for your iPod, Handbreak is the best choice. It uses x264, a very good and actively developed codec, and can add chapters to the video file based on the DVD chapters, a must feature for long movies.
Never had any bluescreens with handbreak, running on Windows XP Home.
