How to rip a DVD with DVDFab HD Decrypter

This video tutorial from MattHawkins.co.uk shows you how to rip a DVD to your hard drive with DVDFab HD Decrypter which is free to download and use.

DVDFab HD Decrypter can remove all the DVD protections and some of the Blu-ray protections. It can then copy the contents to your hard drive. It is one of the free features of the main DVDFab application.

This tutorial will demonstrate the "main movie" and "full disc" modes where you can choose what content to rip. The "main movie" mode is useful for ripping individual episodes from a disc.

After ripping to your hard drive you will end up with an AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder containing the contents of the DVD.

The DVDFab9 application can be found on the DVDFab DVD Copy product page (store.dvdfab.com/order/product.php?PRODS=452654…;).

The System Requirements are :

- Windows7/Vista/XP (32-bit/64-bit)
- Pentium II 500 MHz
- 512 MB of RAM
- 10 GB of Free Hard Disk Space
- A DVD Drive (or BluRay drive)

This only applies to DVD Video discs and not DVD data discs that just have media files dumped on them. A DVD Video disc has an AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder.

NOTE : When using the free part of DVDFab you must stick to the "DVD Copy" and "Blu-Ray Copy" sections. You must also only use the "DVD9" and "BD50" quality settings. Otherwise you will be using compression which is only part of the paid for version.

To convert the ripped files to MP4 you can take a look at my "How to convert a DVD to MP4" video (youtu.be/qB7csl-LUuI)
