Copying DVD to HD

In all the discussion on copying from DVD to HD no one has mentioned Cinematize. Though not free it is feature packed and way better than Handbrake. It will not handle copy protected stuff, you have to pre- treat them with Mac the Ripper. I use Cinematize regularly for grabbing short cli

HI Gary, If you are not too concerned about the quality, just use Handbrake. It will suck the DVD down to an mpeg4 file. Seeya Rod! On Mon, 2006-09-04 at 12:22 +0800, gary dorn wrote: > Howdy, > how can I copy of DVD disk to my HD >
