No, 'ripping' your dvd is just reading it and saving the information to the hard drive. Just like you would read a data cd, or floppy disk and copy it to your hard drive. In the same way that 'burning' a disk doesn't mean that you take a flame to it, but are writing information.

By reading the data directly off of the disk you are getting a 1:1 copy (pretty much) of that information. That's the major argument that media companies use against it. (among others) Perfect copies. Streaming, or recording as it plays also works, but takes 100% as long as whatever you're copying. Unlike 'ripping' which takes various amounts (like... 4x the speed) of time.

try these site:

they have lots of information.


Okay.... the .avis are working, I think. The problem is that even since I loading the codec, my windows seem to crash every few minutes depending where I am. Any ideas? Did I fuck up? :(

well, not knowing what you did, or what you're doing it's kind of hard to say.
If your computer started acting weird right after you installed something, then you might want to uninstall it. However, the cccp files have always been pretty stable for me, so it could be unrelated. I suggest using something like media player classic, or VLC player to play your videos. And see if you get the same issues.

At this point, if all the original questions have been answered you should start a new thread addressing your specific problems so that the people that frequent the forum can address it.
