Howto Rip a DVD – Easy and Free with Linux
So, you have a nice shiny DVD with your favorite movie, and your dog chews it to pieces. If only you had ripped that movie to a file that you could burn to a new DVD, or play on your favorite media player. In this video tutorial I show those of you outside of the United States*** how to do this in Linux. http://www.linuxhaxor.net
First we need to install several libraries, including libdvdcss2 (for help installing this see my previous video here). Then we install a DVD ripper (I chose Thoggen because it is quick and easy). And that’s it, you can rip away to your heart’s content!
Thoggen: http://thoggen.net/
HandbrakeGTK: http://handbrake.fr/
The DVD ripping program I chose was Thoggen for its ease of use and simplicity. It automatically rips the DVD to .OGM (Ogg media) format. VLC and other media players should be able to play this without a problem, but if you need help installing codecs install ffmpeg (see my video here where I explain it) as it contains a whole codec library. Other DVD ripping programs can save to other formats, so feel free to install and use the ripper of your choice.
***In the United States it is illegal to break the encryption on encrypted DVDs. It violates the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), specifically the anti-circumvention provisions. So while copying your DVDs and keeping a copy can be considered fair use, the act of breaking the encryption using this guide is illegal in the US, so please only do this if you live in a country where you won’t be breaking any laws by doing this!

I mean the earmarks …
I mean the earmarks, and giving money to private institutions, and borrowing from china, and such.. All proof that the US government is full of shit. People breaking protection on DVD’s is the least of their worries. Besides, given the cost of moviemaking with the new Digital Red One cameras.. Hollywood is honestly, fucked. Well in LA it is.. But pretty much anyone with a budget of about 30K at least, or even less (a challenge?), can make movies the quality of Hollywood.

DMCA.. If they want to put me in jail, it will be made into a big deal and be put on TV and such, if not youtube.. The government is a bunch of dumb anyhow.

No, this isn’t about copyright (directly), it’s just naughty to try and crack DRM (Digital Restrictions Mismanagement). I think it is illegal in the US, it definitely is in other places, like France.

@darthirakli yes that’s true, but if you never share that ripped dvd, they will never be able to catch you, nor really have a reason to catch you, unless you’re sharing them or other copyrighted material.

@lockoutpmp I agree with you. You can do whatever you want with the stuff you own, as long as you don’t share it and announce that you can do that.
