Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of software that I can get that will allow me to put a DVD in my DVD burner and rip the DVD into .avi format on my computer?

Basically what I'm trying to do is get all my home DVD's onto my computer. Can anyone tell me how this is possible?
 
It's against the law to copy dvd's, even if it's just for personal use I'm afraid. It's the copy protection that's the illegal part to break. As such, it's against the Forum Rules to discuss.
 
What cd's specifically? Games - illegal. Programs - illegal. Films - illegal. Your own MS Word documents - fine. Your own home movies - fine.

No it's not. You are entitled to one copy of every piece of electronic data you own. This extends to software, video games (consoles included), music, and movies. He didn't mention anything about copying DVDs that aren't his.

Try Googling DVD Decrypter.
 
it is not so much the actual backup which is illegal, it is breaking the encryption on the disc that violates the law.

DVD Decrypter is illegal because it breaks the encryption.
Since the vast majority of commercial DVDs have been encrypted, and circumventing the encryption is what's illegal, that means you cannot copy a copy-protected DVD, even one you own, without breaking the law.

Yep, its a rediculous loophole in the law.

You are absolutely allowed to backup any disc that you own for safety purposes. However, lobbying efforts on the part of these companies (RIAA, MPAA, etc) have made it illegal for you to break the encryption.

Thus, in order to cover themselves from liability, CF must not allow such conversations to take place for fear of something falling back on them. You can find the answer to this any number of other places, though, just have to search a bit.
