Questions tagged [ripping]

Ripping means grabbing the audio or video content (typically from a CD or DVD)

To rip a CD or DVD means to copy its contents (usually sound or video) to a hard disk or other storage medium.

For audio CDs , special programs are needed. For data on CD-ROMS or any form of DVD, the content is already in the form of files that can be copied directly, but special software may still help work with some formats.

How to rip a scratched DVD-Video? (a "cdparanoia for DVDs")

I usually use the very nice and simple dvdbackup program to rip and backup my DVD-Video. However some of my DVDs have a few scratches and my DVD drive has some trouble reading a few sectors. So, is there a tool similar to cdparanoia, but for DVDs?

Rip chapters of a DVD to separate files

I have a DVD with cartoons for kids and there are a couple of episodes on every one of them. How can I rip them such that every episode is in a separate file? I think every episode is written as a chapter within one title on the DVD.

Rip an audio CD 1:1

Rip audio CDs while keeping extraction and encoding separate
