Ripping commercial DVD's is illegal in the US.

Use DVDDecrypter, DVD43, and Mediacoder

1) Run DVD43 to disable protection preventing ripping.
2) Run DVDDecrypter to rip the dvd to your hard drive.
3) Run Mediacoder to convert ripped dvd to whatever format you need.
4) Run the Zune Software and transfer your converted movie(s).

PS: If you ever just wanna make a backup, download DVD43 and run it. Then download and run a program called DVD Shrink and then burn. Works great for Dual Layer DVD's to Single Layer DVD Copies

You can do it with VLC. I don't know how, but I remember reading about it somewhere.

I use RipIt4Me/DVD Decrypter and Gordian Knot or Handbrake, depending on what mood I'm in.

In Australia it isn't illegal, if you own the dvd, and only keep the rip on your computer. Not sure about the US. Note that I am not giving legal advice here...

Still, I use hanbrake for iPod video and Libretto.

Try running x-vid under dos, odd enough, it works!

DVDshrink is used best for backups.... But you didn't hear that from me. I would say if you want it for converting, I've heard DVD strip or stripper is good, I used it for making a few AVI files years ago.

hey project I have a zune also and the best thing i have found to put dvd on mine is a program called dvd-wmv but make sure you have dvd decrypter as well so you can check on what language code to put in when converting. there are some good tutorials on how to do it over at zunerama forums

Legal problems and status

Ripping also allows content to be losslessly copied for a very low or essentially zero cost and given to those who did not purchase it, possibly substituting for sales of content. Hence it has aroused fierce opposition by the recording industry, who view it as theft.

Since the music or video is transferred to a data file, the files can be shared with other computer users over the Internet.

Although it is legal in the United States to make backup copies of software, the legality of ripping music for personal use without the permission of the copyright holder is controversial. Historically, copying media for personal use has been deemed "fair use," however the RIAA, which represents many music copyright holders has argued that copying rights have not been granted to end users. Selling software to circumvent copy-protection in commercial DVDs is illegal [1]. In countries such as Spain, anyone is allowed to make a private copy of a copyrighted material for oneself and the source copy does not even have to be legal. Making copies for other people, however, is forbidden if done for profit. In the United Kingdom, making a private copy of copyrighted media without the copyright owner's consent is illegal: this includes ripping music from a CD to a computer or digital music player.[2][3] The development of radio music ripping may fuel further legal debates on the topic.[quote][/quote]
