DVD Ripping And Conversion Software

Post by Zaune »

I still mostly buy films and TV series on DVD, but my laptop doesn't have a built-in DVD drive and the external one is a bit cumbersome. Can anyone recommend a good, preferably free program for either Windows or Linux that'll convert DVD content to something like AVI or MKV? I need small file-size more than I need high quality, I've not got a lot of space to play with on this thing.

どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

I have been using MakeMKV

One item I am curious is that there is a DVD movie I want that is in PAL format and I believe in Region 3
Wondering if MakeMKV will render it into a format I can watch

Willing to buy the movie to do this but don't want to waste my money

I'm pretty sure VLC Player can bypass regional restrictions, so that ought to at least let you watch it off the disc.
