Best (free) software for DVD ripping to .mov
Hey guys,
I’m routinely dubbing DVDs to Beta so I can get them into FCP. Any ideas what I can use to rip the DVD straight to a .mov file or a usuable FCP format. The dubbing is a PITA and i’d love to speed up the process.Of course, this is not to circumvent the copyright process of major motion pictures. Seriously.
Thanks,
Todd -

I alway say get the origonal masters DVDs contain already compresed video and the quality sufferswhen editing video that has already been compresed like that

I have no choice when using the DVDs. I am working on a show that reviews some movies (on DVD) and some packages for broll are only available on DVD. The dub process is an avoidable pain, isn’t it?
What software can rip it for me?

I used John’s reccomedation and it is working perfectly. I just jammed my sources in, no finesse, no reading the manual, and it work flawlessly. Nice work whomever!
