How to Use Handbrake to Rip a DVD

Handbrake is a computer program that lets you make a copy of the video and audio information from a DVD and save it as a file on your hard drive. This process is called "ripping." Handbrake is specifically designed for this purpose, so all you have to do is provide the program with the DVD in question and then pick what type of file you'd like to save the information as once it gets to your hard drive.

Instructions

1. Open "Handbrake" via the "Start" menu.

2. Insert the DVD that contains the video files you want to rip into your computer's DVD drive.

3. Click the "Browse" button in the "Source" section of "Handbrake." Select the icon for your DVD drive. This will load the DVD's audio and video information into Handbrake.

4. Use the "Presets" column on the right side of "Handbrake" to choose what type of file to save the ripped DVD information.

5. Click the "Start" button in Handbrake's toolbar. This will rip the DVD video and audio information to your computer using your specified settings.
