Subject: Help downloading a DVD.

We just got the copy of my daughters DVD and I need to know how to download it onto my computer. I have windows media player and windows movie maker. I cant figure it out. When I put the DVD in it begins to play in windows media but I cant figure out how to make it download.
It isnt copyright protecte and the director said it would be okay to add it to her portfolio but I can tsend it to her agnet if I cant figure out how to download it.
It is only 6 minutes long...her part anyway.
Help, please?

[> You need to "rip" or "pull" it to your computer, kind of like you do with a CD. However, the last I heard WMP doesn't do that. Inside for what I do... -- Mandy, 19:32:28 05/16/09 Sat [1]

When I pull clips for my vids, I use DVD Fab 5 to rip it to the computer (in .VOB files) and then use SUPER to convert it so they can be played in WMP or w/e player you have.

As I recall, DVD Fab offers a free 30-day trial. I think you can continue to use the basic features of the trial is up.

And SUPER....

It's free, too.

Well, that's how I do it. I hope it helps. If not, I hope someone else posts an easier way. LOL!

[> This is how I "rip"my JAG videos to my computer so I can put them on my IPod -- usmgrad, 09:03:18 05/17/09 Sun [1]

I use DVD Decrypter to "rip" the DVD and use Videota IPod converter to convert to a real player video that are on both my comptuer and Ipod. The Videora web site is free and has several lincs to download a program for the "rip". ( http://www.videora.com ).

You can also search for a free DVD decrypter and follow the instructions.

Hope this helps.
