Tips On How To Copy DVD To Harddrive

By Thomas Finnaire


As laptops and smart phones get more available, an increasing number of people are wanting to enjoy their favorite TV shows and DVDs on them instead of their TVs. It makes it easier to have all of your DVDs in one location, like a harddrive, than to have big bulky storage units with you everywhere you go.

The procedure for moving the data of the DVD to the hard drive is called ripping. You will need two types of software programs to rip DVDs. The first software you need is one which can actually rip the data of the DVD and another software to decrease the ripped DVD into a smaller size. You will be able to get maximum quality editions of the DVD minus the size.

In order to rip a DVD to your harddrive, you will require special software. There are various free software on the net today which will permit you copy the DVD content to your hard drive. You can just search on the internet for proper software. However, make certain that the software you ultimately choose has great feedbacks from consumers. You might want to read opinions first prior to deciding which one to use. Download the software and install on your pc or laptop.

Examples of the top DVD ripping software today are: * DVD Rip * DVDFab Decrypter * RipIt4Me * DVD Shrink * Handbrake

Now you are ready for ripping. All you need to do is put the DVD to the drive and from the destination drop down list choose "To hard disk.." You should have to choose a folder where the hard drive content will be burned. You will then be asked what you wish to copy, the entire disc, merely the video itself or portions of the movie only. Click the start button to begin with the ripping process. It is that easy. The process and steps will vary from one computer software to another but they are all essentially the same.

If you need to copy a lot of DVDs to your laptop or PC, you will need to purchase a huge external hard drive, at least 1TB in space so you have plenty of room for your films.
