Ripping DVDs

Contextual Notes

The term “ripping DVDs” is associated with ripping a DVD and encoding it to an alternative format. When I refer to ripping a DVD in this wiki, I use it in the context of only ripping the content from the original format of physical media. Not to worry though, there's lots of other stuff on here about reencoding DVDs on here in the software sections. :)

The reason I focus mainly on copying the content is because I like to archive my discs. They are going to run generally from 4 to 8 GB in size. Storage is cheap, but that's not the main reason I rip mine – it's so that I can access *all* of the content whenever I want. I don't have to go back and grab the disc.
