Best way to rip DVD movies to ISO files

I'm trying to backup my DVD collection. I have Handbrake, and will eventually experiment with the best settings to use.

For now, I'd like to backup the DVD's to ISO files, that i can mount and then use Handbrake on later, or burn back on to DVD should the original get damaged. I have a WD TV box that is capable of playing ISO files also.

What's the best program for doing this? I'm not so much concerned with file size.

Software to get audio from home DVDs?

Not for illegal use! I have some home movies and footage from a wedding, and I'd like to easily 'rip' or extract the audio to WAV/MP3/etc.

If the audio came off as one big file, I am proficient enough to splice/slice it up myself into individual tracks, but can't seem to find any software that makes the task of getting audio from a DVD very simple.

As I said, these are not encrypted/commercial DVDs.

Any suggestions? Does not have to be free, but must be worth the money.

Completely automated DVD insert-rip-compress-eject workflow

(Partially inspired by this question.)

Background: I have a PC hidden away behind an HD LCD in custom-built entertainment center. The only visible part of the PC is an external DVD drive, mounted above the Wii. The PC happens to have Windows XP on it; Hackintoshing and Linux might be possible, but I've had issues with drivers for the sound card before. Let's just assume that OS X and Linux are a no-go unless they provide a truly awesome and simple solution for this particular problem.

Goal: I would like to have a completely automated workflow for ripping DVDs. Something like this:

1. Push the eject button on the DVD drive, insert the DVD.
2. PC recognizes that this is a video DVD (as opposed to data).
3. PC rips DVD to hard drive.
4. PC finishes ripping, and ejects the DVD tray.
5. PC compresses DVD image into some format that an Xbox 360 can read.
6. PC copies finished compressed video file to a particular folder, so that it can be read into a WMP11 library and seamlessly played by the Xbox 360.
7. PC cleans up all temporary files.
8. Done.

The impetus to have this be completely automated is that I’ll never need to switch the TV to the PC’s input and fiddle with the wireless keyboard. That’s just needless user intervention.

The UI doesn’t have to be pretty. Nor do I care about speed. And I can probably bridge several of the gaps with some creative Perl use. But it seems likely that many (or all) of the parts should already exist.

Any thoughts?

What is the best file format/bit rate to rip tracks from a CD into iTunes? [closed]

I know it sounds subjective but its not meant to be. I am very new to ripping CD's using iTunes, and I'm confused over the different formats available. I have read Wikipedia regarding the AAC and Apple Lossless Formats (ALAC).

I read that Apple claims that ALAC is about 1/2 the size of other formats, but with my test, the ALAC files were huge! I cant rip them all and have room for all of my music on my phone at those sizes.

I do think they sounded better than AAC or MP3, however.What is the best format/bit rate in iTunes to rip CD's in, also considering the space and quality factors? Also, am I really losing any quality at all with AAC or MP3?

New Dvds with 99 Title tracks, which one is the correct track?

I have embarked on the task of backing up my DVD collection. I have noticed that some of the newer movies I am attempting to rip contain 99 Title tracks all with approximately equal overall run times.

I use MacTheRipper to rip the DVDs and Handbrake to encode them.

My question is, is there a site somewhere that has information regarding which Title track to select?

Disclaimer: I cannot stress this enough, I legally own these DVDs. I am merely making a digital copy.

Two examples of such DVDs are Star Trek and Carriers.

UPDATE: Just an FYI each most of these 99 tracks appear to be the full length tracks. There times look to be very similar to the overall movie run time (within a few seconds of each other). So using the time isn't a valid way to tell which is the correct track.

Opening the movie with VLC seems to be the best way to tell. Thank you all.

Ripping DVDs to 700 MB video files

When downloading movies on torrent websites, usually they come as 700 MB video files and with the .avi extension.

I've downloaded Handbrake and DVD43. But I don't know the settings to get those nice results. How can I do it?

Convert DVD to a flash application (including menus)

I was wondering if it is possible to convert a dvd to a flash application which I could then embed in a website. What I am looking for is not simply ripping the video, but something that encodes the menus and the navigation of the dvd, as well, and the result is an interactive flash application.

Thanks!

Edit: actually I have the original iDVD project, as well. I would like to turn it into a flash application...

Simple utility to rip ISO's on Windows (7) [closed]

I'm after a really simple utility to rip ISO's from CD's and DVD's on Windows 7.

Ideally it would be very small, free and have no spammy-ness to it (no advers, no nags etc). A simple right click of the DVD drive then convert to ISO...

Any recommendations?..
