Rip DVDs Directly From VLC Player

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

If you have trouble with mp4/divx try mpeg /mp1v

It's illegal for you to rip a DVD that has CSS (a type of DRM). It's even worse (in terms of punishment) if you redistribute copyright material. See your country's / states copyright laws and all documentation regarding the media you want to copy if you want to be safe. Don't copy stuff you don't own or you rented.

Note that if you have vlc player set so it loops, it will infinitely rip the same dvd to the same file. You can stop it from looping by clicking one of the buttons in the playlist.

If you want to watch the dvd after it's finished ripping on vlc player make sure you uncheck the stream / save box or it'll overwrite the rip and start ripping again.

For the newest version, click:

"Media" then "Convert / Save"

And then follow the rest of the video ;)

I have the latest version and menus are a bit different but it won't let me open up ANYTHING under title - bloody frustrating as have been trying all night to find a way to get a VCL file to Dvd & thought I'd cracke dit with this. Anyone got any other ideas please.

Ripping a DVD is legal if you're using it yourself or for fair use purposes.

THANK YOU!

but what if i just copy that 1 file im about to rip from the dvd?

wouldn't that be faster?

This used to work, but all the new versions of VLC player from 0.99 onwards cant rip dvds any more, and if it does work then the author of this video needs to come out straight and say so or give a tutorial on it, so like i said if you want to rip dvd movies and break the copy protection you MUST use an old version of VLC player, my version is 0.86e and it works perfectly

vlc player now looks differnt there is NO file tab- just media and now i have NO idea how to do it...

[montgal52]

You should make a new tutorial on how to rip a DVD because the new version of VLC 1.1.1 has a new interface. Many of the switches and buttons have been moved to different locations in the programs
