I've decided that I'm fed up of having to fiddle around with disks and such when I want to watch a film. So instead I've decided to make use of some of the excess storage space on my PC and start putting them onto my HDD, so I have easy access to them on here. Since they all get watched through my computer anyway.

Can anyone recommend a good free program to do this with? Also preferably one where I can edit the quality of the final file..

Thanks :)
 
I'd reccommend Ahead DVD Ripper. it allows you to copy the files from the DVD and then re-encode them to a smaller or more convienient format
 
Personally I use DVD Decrypter to copy the DVD then AutoGK to convert to AVI and add the subtitles for me. I pretty much always get AutoGK to stick to 100% quality but I'm sure others will say you can set it lower and still be OK watching it but get a smaller file size. :)
 
I'm using DVDFab to rip, and HandBrake to encode. It is nice being able to set the desired file size, and smaller sizes really help with streaming to the PS3. 800MB final encodes seem to retain most of the video quality.
 
I used to do this...

I find DVDFab can rip more modern dvds which DVD Decrypter can't. I also prefer handbrake to encode as it is more streamlined in my opinion and has some handy presets built in e.g. for ipods etc.
 
I shelled out the money for ImTOO DVD ripper Ultimate over a year ago and it's never let me down - large range of formats I can encode into, but I normally just stick with divx/avi. Now any of my DVDs I want to have on my computer I tend to first rip them using DVD decrypter then encode them to avi using ImTOO (obviously, multithreaded support, and only two DVD drives) so it works out quicker.
 
DVD decrypter and leave as.

113 films is 632gb. I don't see the point in compressing and lossing stuff and that's the full dvd, extras, all languages etc etc.
