DVD Compression

Sniper.nkc · Oct 26, 2010

Hey guys,

I have over 200 DVDs I like to compress and store in my harddrive. My operating system is Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Can you recommend a DVD Rip program I can use to reduce video size and maintain video quality. I know my DVDs have copy right protection so I will need something to bypass this. Let me know what you are using and what is the typical output file size so that I can calculate what size HD I will need for storage. I do not have BluRay DVDs. Thanks.

Removing copyright protection is somewhat sketchy territory here, so a mod might swoop in and kill the thread. But in case its all peachy, check out DVD Shrink. It decrypts DVDs and allows you to set the compression ratio manually.

There is a bunch of threads in the HTPC area on this. You could make them MKV using MakeMKV and do just the main movie and one audio track.

Thanks for the reply. I know DVDFab is a well known program sold to the public to copy DVD's with copy right protections. So I wouldn't think it is illegle. I may be wrong and the admin may pull this thread.

It's really a grey area, as some will use it for illegal use. Some threads have been closed and others were left open.
