Ay, I found out how to rip DVD's a few days ago. I really didn't attempt it before, but I wanted to get Terminator 2 on my PC in case I lost my disc for it.

    

• Handbrake: Open Source Video Transcoder
  
• libdvdcss dll (needed to force ripping of protected DVD's)
  
• Any Movie you own on DVD
  

Step 1:  Download/Install the pre-requirements.

Step 2:  Place the "libdvdcss-2.dll" into Handbrakes main folder.

Step 3:  Insert a movie to your computers disc tray.

Step 4:  Start Handbrake and select your disc, (this step takes a while to complete because it needs to scan the disc).

Step 5:  On the "Title" drop down menu, select the longest option, select a destination for your file and press start.

Once that is done, you will have the movie wherever you saved it, Enjoy.
