HandBrake
HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for Mac OS X, LInux and Windows.
HandBrake is useful for ripping movies from DVDs and can be downloaded at http://handbrake.fr/.
If you are prompted for a Source when you open HandBrake, select the DVD you would like to copy. You can also choose the Source by clicking on the button in the top left corner. Next, select the section of the DVD you would like to rip by choosing the Source Title. You can also select which chapters of the section to use. Then, choose a Destination and Format for the file you will be creating. If you would like hard-encoded subtitles (permanent subtitles burned onto the picture), click on the Audio & Subtitles tab and choose the language for the subtitles. Once you are finished selecting all the options you want, click the Start button in the top left corner.
Note: HandBrake does not copy DVD menus.
This is a very brief and simple introduction to HandBrake. You can find much more detailed tutorials just by searching "HandBrake tutorials."
