Rip A DVD Quickly And Easily For Free - Free DVD Ripper 

Why this is better than most... 1: you have a microphone, 2: it works, 3: you present it well. What more could we ask for?

Thanks dude! it worked like a charm! I got the pull down/pull up messege, and i avoided it, and it still worked fine! BTW, thanks for the clear intructions on the process!

NICE IT WORKS THANKS A LOT ive been looking everywhere for a program like this great video!!!!

Thanks, this was great help! It's a bit slow but I've wanted something like this for ages!

oh oh oh! THANK YOU SO MUCH! from the bottom of my heart! i have been searching for the one that works, and Free DVD Ripper just works perfectly fine! and again, thank you very very much! :D

wats the best volume and resolution when ripping??

yeah,its working for me now & this helped me use it. thanks. best ripper ive seen yet

Very good. Thanks. The only thing I could not do was in setting the OutPut folder to navigate to a folder of my choice. It just reads "mpeg output" The buttons say "OK / Browse / Cancel" but when I click "Browse" nothing happens! Can you explain to me, please?

i have a question. i just want to rip one chapter of the film. as you can see you can play the file, but you can also jup to a certain chapter. but when i jump to a certain chapter and press "start encoding", it starts at the beginning, how can i make it start encoding at the chapter, i chose?

thanks a bunch man! i couldnt figure it out bbecause it said there was an error but when i read your note about playing it with a different app, it worked. thanks.

This program worked great! I just used the cd mode to record, my end point is youtube and the recording was accepted by youtube. Thats all I needed ! Thanks Andy

Thanks men you are the greatest coz the other DVD ripper's, people posted on youtube did not work but yours did! Thanks! U R D BEST!

you're my hero-I had exactly the same problem, & this worked a charm. Thanks heaps dude!

Question, when I try to rip (normally or from segment like im trying to do) every time it says there "too much sample" how do I fix this? Thanks.

@JowshUKproductions Hi I followed up this steps but I only had the Windows 95, 98, Me and 2000 compatibility mode. No XP and even if I selected all I'm still without change on the window. Any idea?

I know some have complained about this software.. but I have tried a lot of DVD ripper software and this has truly been the first free one that actually works and the sound and pic quality is good I will give it 8.5 out of 10 only because I like super high quality and am not yet able to modify that part yet

i downloaded the program even before watching this (free dvd ripper) somehow, though i didn't fiddle with anything, it would said my input and output frame rates were unbalanced or something like that...I don't now what to do bout that... have any suggestions? another person commented that it didn't fuction so well on vista? is that right?

I want to know why when the video has finished ripping that when I go to play it, it seems to be playing some parts in slow motion instead of normal play I thought it was my DVD but I tried others and it did the same thing. Can you please help me with this problem.

If I use the 'Encode' option on iSofter DVD Audio Ripper, will it in any way affect the DVD's original video and/or sound? 'Cos I really wanna set the start time and finish time of the track I want to rip, but every time I type it into Google, they just say "Oh, you can rip Chapters individually and stuff!" Yes, but I wanna just set the start time ( For example, 00:01:05) and the finish time (00:06:07) myself......

@sitruc3000 true, i was just testing a bunch of random programs that do the same thing and noticed that that ripped one of the dvds nicely but didnt rip another at all and was giving errors. which program are you talking about? DVD Fab?

How do you rip individual chapters of the DVD (a certain scene of a movie)?

thanks for the vid, been using this program for about 6 months now but is there a way to fill a 16:9 display without the black bars at the top and bottom? what would the settings be?

hi i tryed using the programme and it keeps coming up with an error saying use niro or something else. do you think i may need to use a programme like anydvd to stop making it come up with the errors?

On certain dvds when using Free Dvd Ripper 2.25, i get an error saying "too much sample. Try another frame rate" after about 15 seconds encoding. I've tried ever frame rate. Any suggestions?

how do u make the output and imput frame rates the same... i get this message and it says pull down or pull up will be performed something like that..... and i can make the video but my quality sucks... how do i fix that

First of all, great demo! Easy to understand, well presented, well planned-out. Full marks, five stars. Second of all, great find! I have downloaded the software from your site (thanks!) and I will be using it on the basis of your recommendation. (No, I'm not pirating DVDs: it is difficult to find good free software for this exactly because of pirates, which is a bummer if you have a legitimate reason to do this.) Many thanks! Awesome!

How do you save the video as VIDEO_TS? I have VLC on my computer and have the video on my hard drive, but cannot get the ripper to recognize it!

Another brilliant video, thanks for making this :)

How do you fix the error 'Warning the output and input frame rate are not equal'?

Hi, I'm trying to rip this "copy" video and it says it's not in any of the folders but when i go into one of the folders (manually) it's there; the ripper won't pick it up though.

I dont know about the Sony-thing. It's St. Elmo's Fire, and it doesn't say anything about Sony, but it says DOLBY DIGITAL and Columbia Pictures if that helps? I played it in Media Player, and now it's no problem to open it. But when I press ENCODING it says: "Cannot open AVI file. Check that the directory exits and that the file is not used by another program" Now, I HAVE closed all other programs, but I dont know what that directory-thing is. Can you help?

OMG!THANK YOU!!!ever since my free trile on magic dvd ripper died I have had no luck whatsoever with any of these junk systems but FINALY THIS MIGHT WORK WITH MY COMPUTER!!!^_^

hey i got this program a while back and it worked on a few movies.. also on some of them an error came up sain MPEG2Dec: Error during decoder initialisation And thenDecoder not inited Open an IFO/MPEG file first. what is goin on? i dont get why it wont work for me again... plz help..

When I open the DVD, this warning message pops up: "Warning the output and input frame rate are not equal. Pull down (up) will be performed." What does that mean?

wut program did you use for recording the video??

Does it download the whole movie to hard drive for free? Like its not a trial version where it only allows certain minutes?

Help! I'm not very computer savvy. I can rip no problem in MPEG4 but the picture has funny stripes on faster moving images so I tried AVI to see if it fixes the problem but get the following error message when I try to start encoding: "Cannot open AVI file. Check that the directory exists and that the file is not used by another program." What the hell does this mean and how do I fix it?? THANKS!

im having problems it says output and input are not equal , what should i do i havent change anything

i need help!!! i downloaded the free dvd ripper, and i followed your tutorial, but it keeps saying that the input and output frame rate arent the same. how do i fix that?

hey man, thanks for this. Wanting though to also copy the menus ( have a tv series to burn so obviously want to be able to flick to an episode individually) By clickin on the longest index obviously it takes the entire dvd volume. I've worked out how to do show by show (have to attend to the burning process every 20 mins) but still cant work out how to get the entire index on..any clues?

Okay say i ripped watchmen and wen i try to add it to my itunes library it wont work. do i need media coder? plz reply!

Hey I followed everything you did and it all worked perfectly except when i went to play it it was shit quality? Like when somebodies hand is waving around it sort of lags?? any suggestions?

woaw! Thanks heaps I might download that program it looks really good you have been a real help :)

Oi Mate Thank you Soooo much man you have no idea how much i'veb been wanting this :D

i tried to open my dvd in the program and it said... "unable to read from: D:\VIDEO_TS\vts_03_1.vob MPEG2Dec: Error during decoder initialisation. Coder not inited. Open an IFO/MPEG File First" what does that mean??

used this, great program, but on first try i only ripped bout a min of footage but came out a little bit blurry, any advice?

which would i chose if i want to get it on my ipod / itunes

"Warning the output and input frame rate are not equal pull down [up] will be performed" It keeps coming up, and when I try and encode that and " Cannot open AVI file. Check that the directory exists and that the file is not used by another program" and... it wont let me encode.

I have a question, can a rip a scene??? I saw there something like "Time to encode", is that where I can rip a scene?? I mean,can I rip only the first/middle/last (whatever) 5 minutes of a movie???

Do you need to have special hardware to rip a dvd? Because I have a Microsoft Sony Vaio, with a cd-player/dvd-player drive and a cd burner drive. If someone could help me with this that would be great.

When the movie is done ripping, i get an error and makes windows explorer to close when i wanna watch the file. Can you guys help me on this area??

How do you make an mpeg file? I tried it your way and set it to mpeg on the front screen and in the output settings and it still creates a avi file... Do you guys know how to fix this? Kind of need a quick answer... Thanks.

what format do i need if i am going to burn them onto another disk?

when I select the dvd it sais "Warning the output and input frame rate are not equal Pull down (up) will be preformed". What the heck do I do?

mine says that the output and input frame rate aren't the same, how do i fix that?

Um i'm having an issue with sound. First it was saying it couldn't load the DVD so I played in media and it loaded but gave me that Push/Pull error. Not sure what that means though. BUT then It gave me another error about the audio, like it wanted to create a buffer or something idk but I hit yes and when I went to play a preview of the dvd in the program, it gave me the same sound error and then looked like it was loading the video. Unfortunately it then crashed. Sooo IDK someone help please.

how do you get the dvd as a file on your laptop to begin with

i have spent ages Encoding, and It has finally finished.. but now I cant find it.. what file and where would it be?

Are the Lame Codex necessary for the DVD to be encoded??

I install it and when I click to open the program it immediately says it stopped working??

When I play it (I haven't tried converting yet) the sound's all choppy. I played it on WMP so I know it's not the DVD. Please help.

I keep getting a msg that says Input and output frame rates are not equal how do i fix it

is it possible to ad subtitles??? i cant find an option cheers

Cannot open AVI file. Check that the directory exists and that the file is not used by another program. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

does it not work if its a dvd that I have recorded on?

I have a 37-minute DVD. I want to put it on RU-vid. But I've tried several of the popular rippers (Leawo,ReplayConverter) and their demo versions seem to be a 1:1 conversion (real time). I have to use a paid computer at an "internet cafe" because this borrowed library computer won't accept this software. Even if Miracle DVD Ripper works for me to create a video file,what then?? RU-vid is only 12 minutes long. How would I then put then 37 minutes up? Thanks.

Thank you so much for this! It was a great help :)

Hi, I've been using the Free DVD Ripper for some time now, but today when I tried to use it it said it was expired, or something along those lines. When I uninstalled it and reinstalled it it said the same thing. I hadn't thought the program could expire :(

I have tried to reinstalled three times, but it still doesn't work. It's when I've picked the title, it says: Unable to read from "E:\\VIDEO_TS\vts_01_1.vob" and then I press "OK" and it says: MPEG2Dec: Error during decoder initialisation and I press "OK" again and new popupper comes up: Decoder not inited. Open an IFO/MPEG file first What do I do?

I'm trying to rip a TV show DVD w/ this program, but when I look at the list of titles, Free DVD ripper only finds the first episode on the disc, and that's not the one I want to rip. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance! :)

Thank you very much for this useful tutorial video! It's outstanding & unbelievable sure.

How do you remove subtitles?

In my opinion Magic dvd ripper is the best for ripping and backing up but this software is also one of the best free dvd rippers on the net and it does what its suppost to do.Good vid!!!
