I'm a TA for a professor giving a psychology class and I need tome help.
How could I rip a DVD in a single file and cut some scenes out of the big movie file and store them in individual files?
What is the best format to have subtitles included in the movie.
I will use MPC with the CCCP codec pack to play the files.
The professor for whom I work for want to play some scences of different movies to be able to show some criterias of various personality disorders.

I,m looking for a free downloadable program.

Thanks

DVDShrink and DVD Decrypter are both free DVD ripping software.

if your on Mac use handbrake!.... soooooo simple! Hope it helps, and DVD Decrypter is outdated, you need to use something else, new sony/universal discs sometimes dont decrypt

I would say either Handbreak (better UI IMO) or DVD Decrypter. I've used both and like them both.

Mac the Ripper (pay version) and MPEG Streamclip can handle anything you throw at it on a Mac

I would recommend either DVD shrink or handbrake as far as free programs go. By far the best paid program I have used for burning dvds on a mac is Roxio Toast, it couldn't possibly be easier to use. It works with so many different file formats, and you just drag them in, it will convert them for you, then just select whether you want NTSC or PAL and your finished.

Toast will not rip or copy commercial DVDs.

This is not entirely true, I have used it several times, and it has worked. Although there also has been a few cases where it hasn't. It probably isn't the best choice if you are looking to copy commercial dvds though, for everything else it's great.

+1 for HandBrake

HAndbrake won't rip copy right protected Dvds which like every dvd has you have to get anydvd with it

the doom9 forums still exist ? i remember it use to be a gold mine for video conversion information,

I use dvd decrypter and then convert that to H.264 with Handbrake if I want it smaller.
