How to Rip & Burn Movies to a DVD
Ripping and burning a movie can take quite some time. Burning to a disc won't take long, but the ripping part will take about as long as the movie. This is because the ripper moves frame by frame through the movie to remove any encoding that will prevent it from being burned to a disc. Ripping a DVD isn't always necessary to burn the movie. If you do have to rip the movie, chances are that it's illegal to make copies of it without permission.
