Keep my DVD Collection on Computer

Hi guys, I am wondering if there is a free way of ripping DVD's to computer, I tried Handbrake, but that costs, I want a free program that can rip DVD's and convert for free.

This way if a DVD gets scratched, I will always have a copy.

handbrake shouldn't cost you anything - it's free.

if someone tried charging you for it, then they're breaking the terms of the gpl-license.

Another way if you have lots of free hard drive space is to create ISOs out of the DVDs. Saves on conversion time & plays exactly like the DVD. Depends on what you want.

There are free solutions out there. However, in my experiences theres always a issue.
For example, they may work for some discs but not others, or they seem to have worked but the copy is flawed.

AnyDVD is a bit expensive, but it really is the best option. If you have a large collection of DVDs you want to store on your PC, its certainly a worthwhile investment IMHO.
It just works as expected.

Isn't it still illegal to break the encryption to DVDs? I back mine up by using an HD video capture device, then I can store them in any format I want without breaking the law (as long as they are for personal use).

Surely if You have paid for them, they're yours; it is legal to rip them and do not share with anyone, it's legal.
