![]() ![]() The Heise news portal was sued by the record industry for linking to SlySoft's website in a news report. ![]() and most other countries follow the, "Illegal to defeat it and illegal to create the programs to do so, but follow Germany's example:Īdvertising, sale, and lending of AnyDVD is outlawed in Germany (but possession is not), as it removes copy prevention from DVDs. Which is why companies like DVDFab and AnyDVD aren't based the U.S. Note: Yes, defeating copy protection is illegal in the U.S., as is creating the programs that do so. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits altering a DVD for non-personal use and prohibits the use of any technology that interferes with DVD anti-piracy protection. You may not, however, make copies of the DVD to give or sell to other people, as this use can constitute economic harm to the DVD's creator or copyright holder. For example, you may make a single copy of a DVD movie if you are concerned about the DVD being scratched or stolen. However, only one person should have access to the copy. Yes, technical and pedantic, but for it makes it much easier for those who know and adhere to the proper terms to understand and recommend solutions.Ĭopyright laws allow DVDs to be copied for archival reasons. You either RIP and Remux or Encode to either container. As I stated above, MP4 and MKV are containers that can contain multiple different formats including the Mpeg-2 (or rarely Mpeg-1) on DVDs. ISO (which is a specialized container for optical disc images) or folders retaining the DVD or Blu-Ray structure. Accepting payment for ripping someone else's discs is even more illegal and could eventually lead to trouble if someone talks about what you're doing.Įdit: To be clear, you don't RIP to anything but. Or use MakeMKV which will RIP and Remux the contents of the disc, main movie and extras (all separate) into an exact copy in an MKV container, which you can import into Handbrake and encode (ugh) into a smaller size and place it into an MP4 container.įinally, there's an irony, that ripping someone else's DVDs, even fellow church members goes against Fair Use which allows YOU to make copies of YOUR discs that you own. DVDFab is 30 day trialware, but the DVD RIPPING portion remains after the trial expires. Keeping with the original and to me only definition of RIP, read up on Automatic Ripping Machine which allows you use multiple drives to RIP at once: Īlso get DVDFab as you'll likely come across copy protected DVDs that require more than Handbrake to bypass. What you're doing with Handbrake is RIPPING and Encoding, which takes much longer than the 10-15 minutes a proper RIP does. The original definition is an exact bit for bit copy of the contents of the DVD less copy protection. Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context. On Fridays we'll allow posts that don't normally fit in the usual data-hoarding theme, including posts that would usually be removed by rule 4: “No memes or 'look at this '”
