Ripping / Decoding DVD's?
 

I've got 5TB's of drive space waiting for my DVD collection to be added.

Any ideas as to which is the best software for ripping DVD's and keeping the DTS 7.1 and/or 5.1 audio on my HD's?

No suggestions huh....

ripit4me is the best its no longer supported but you can find a copy somewhere its real good

Please let me know what you find out as I would like to archive my collection as well...

DVD Fab has worked pretty well for me.

I'll check them both out.

Thank you. :)

DVD Decrypter was the best, and it's freeware. It's been a couple years since I checked out the ripping forums, so I don't know if anything's replaced that as the #1 ripping software. The program hasn't been supported since 2005. Here's the wiki page:

Here's a basic tutorial:
