I have used Nero to rip DVDs to a hard drive and it works well. But I have only done a couple and am in no way an expert. But it was pretty simple at the time which was a couple of years ago. It should be very easy now. You need a program such as dvd regionfree from dvdidle.com. It takes the region coding and copy restrictions out of the DVD. Yes there is EAC for video but using the above products, you may not need it.
"EAC" For Video? Quick Video Clips for PC
Can anyone please offer suggestions for "grabbing" a variety of video sources for easy transfer, review, emailing etc in a Windows environment?
In the end, I dont need perfect quality, but would like to do the following:
"grab" favourite scenes from movies to make a hard drive based compilation of my favourite scenes
"grab" analog video from VHS for transfer onto hard drive
"grab" digital video from a Sony DVR device to transfer onto hard drive
I do not have Tivo but have been impressed by the TimeWarner cable hard drive recording device. The quality is more than adequate and it is easy to use.
If I could rip all these files in high quality, and then use a separate utility to compress them for email, that might even be better.
Thank you.
