Ok I just want to know what I can do if I want to rip the entire movie, but when I go to burn it, the movie has to be compressed and I lose parts of it. What program can help me or what can I do?


thanks
 
First use MacTheRipper to rip the copy protection off you DVD (only if it's commercial). If your DVD (I assume thats what your ripping it from) is a dual layer DVD (most current DVD's are) then you can use a program like Roxio Toast to compress (not clip it off) your VIDEO_TS folder and burn it. if it's just a single-layer DVD, Toast will just burn it without compression. Alos, Handbrake can convert you VIDEO_TS folder to a quicktime readable file for computer storage.

Neither have I. I've been backing up all my DVDs and haven't noticed anything wrong. MacTheRipper is definitely the way to go. I just rip the main feature and burn that. I don't care about all the extra crap. Doing this will allow for less compression when burning to a dvd.
 
Mac The Ripper and DVD2oneX are a great combination. I am pretty sure you can use DVD2oneX for the whole job but I am pretty loyal to MTR.
