Hi, I have around 80 DVD discs and they are taking up a whole bunch of room in my closet, I would like to rip the contense of my discs so that I may play them with DVD player and keep all the features that make a DVD worth viewing such as menus, special features, and chapters.

I have tried Handbrake but it dose not seem to do the job.
P.S. I do not intend to make copies and sell these discs to anyone
Any Ideas?

If you want full-quality, menus, etc. you have to go with MactheRipper or maybe Fairmount. Keep in mind, each of the movies will take up to 8GB of space doing this.

You could use a program like DVD2OneX to compress these down to 4GB or so, but it's still going to add up quite a bit.
 
+1 for mac the ripper - simple, quick. Easy solution

use MTR then Handbreak to turn them into 700MB movies that are much more convenient to store
 
MacTheRipper is great. But as stated earlier, keep in mind most of them will rip down to 8g each (to maintain ALL features) so your looking at ~640g just for the total disks you mentioned.

IMO if I want the 'menu features' I'll pop the DVD in, most of the time I just want the movie, so Handbrake does it for me. 8g down to ~1g and I can tote them around on my iPod, play them from the iPod to the TV. Best part is the kids don't scratch up the movies while changing discs.

All our cartoons are boxed up and put in storage. All that remains are the ripped versions.

Handbreak won't rip DVDs because of 'legal issues'

And you should really get a clue. As stated I use it a lot and so far all our disney, dreamworks, and other movies are ripped on Handbrake.

Maybe not a "FULL" as in menus etc, but you can extract the entire dvd including all segments etc if needed, then again, I've never ever had a need to extract the dvd as it is, I just need the movie.
 
my apologies - did that change recently? last time i tried to do it in os x it said no.

Uncalled for. Please calm down.

Hey, I am calm, in fact I laughed at your post. YOU really need to not be the pot calling the kettle black with your post I responded to.

Try taking your OWN advice.

Mac The Ripper Dose not exist

I can't download the "Mac The Ripper" app, when I go to their web site, the reply i get when I click on download is "This ID dose not exist".
