thanks for this extremely detailed guide even after 9 years it'll still pretty useful since i was even the task to digitize two of my family home dvds
I'm amazed this video can be useful after so long, considering how ad-hoc the method was and how primitive my production quality was at the time. Thanks for the comment!
jesus is that a mic or a kazoo?
ikr
More like a kazoo if you ask me.
i have to find another video to learn this i cant listen to him for 8 min.
😂
hahahahahah
The low-end Mic...
The hair...
The unprompted rants about technology and websites in general...
This is my new favorite channel
I've been asking all around the internet and you were the first person to actually explain this to where it actually worked for me. Thank you so much.
saved me a lot of time thank you for still having this video up 3 years later
thanks for this, is actually told me how to do this properly, looking for the chapter start etc.....detailed and useful unlike many other similar tutorials, well done.
THANK you so much for an excellent tutorial. I have been trying to do this for months and months. I save my DVDs straight off to preserve them. It not only uses loads of space but with the menus one can't use a playlist because the menus prevent them from playing and ending automatically. You've done a great job; I just wish I'd found your TH-cam sooner :)
Thanks so much! It's the clearest walkthrough I've found for VLC ripping, and it's working great so far. Thanks again.
1:53 for those who want to get to the point
actually it's 2:20 on my computer :)
Sam Decoste what u guys mean by get to the point im new to this? :( its so slow? how u make it faster
I got it now lol I use handbrake
+War Eagle thank you
holy shit - you deserve a medal. My ears almost started bleeding
This still works and thank you for the tutorial. Helped with ripping some old safety DVDs for my job. Excellent.
I really liked this. Ive been searching for the past hour for different programs, then I finally realized VLC would be great, so then I found a guide and its really great!
Bro!! I didn't even know VLC can rip movies from DVD and I had this program for years. Thanks for teaching me something I never new about!
Thank you so much!! I watched several guides and read more, and yours was the only one that answered my question!!!
Excellent: Never realised I could do this with VLC and so saved downloading another tool. With the help of this vid it is straightforward and unlike some tools should work on all DVDs that I can play on my PC.
The Grief: Files weren't playable on my tablet. I wanted to copy DVDs onto my android tablet for use when camping. On my PC I'm running VLC 2.2.1 on Windows 8.1 and the obvious profiles did not work for my android Nexus 10 tablet. MX player (and others) on the tablet could not play the file. Several hours later (mainly because of my ignorance), I have set up a tailored profile which produces playable files of sensible sizes. They will also play on a PC. I recommend that anybody who wants to fiddle with the conversion settings does this in a new profile rather than clobbering an existing one - it is a pain that the new profile has to be set up from scratch as there is no "copy from existing" feature. Key characteristics of the new profile are:
Video: H.264
Video resolution: bit rate = unused; quality = 75% (adjust to suit); frame rate = 25fps (default is same as source); frame size 640 x 400 (this is the same ratio as Nexus 10 screen)
Audio: AAC (Use of MP3 or MPEG caused it not to work on the Nexus. However using this setting caused an error in VLC which seems to be known about. FFmpeg compliance had to be set to -2. Easy to do, see: forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=111641 )
Thanks so much for this, great explanation, ive been trying to work out how to get the movie and not the extras.
I usually hate tutorials, but this was on point and super helpful! Thanks mate!
If you’re creating music and you making your own videos, and how do you get the Contant to read the channels he plays in the computer, but how do you get it reading in your on the TV to my android M3u, you how do you make your own interview playlist m3u from scratch ?
but how you do this I would like to know out it reads in Vlc player but it won’t read on the other VLC player ?
Excellent job! VLC truly is the greatest video player/multimedia program in existence. Cheers!
Thanks so much for this easy to understand overview of how to transfer my purchased DVD's onto my laptop and then to my iPad mini! I had trouble with Handbrake but this worked perfect. Much appreciated!!!
Nerd on the Street, you sir, are a delightfully wonderful and intelligent young man. Worked beautifully for me. Thank you for posting! :)
Another question,
How can I watch my VLC files on TV?
Please try to answer both of my questions.
I got thee video to rip but when I open it up in movie maker I cant get the audio to work. It only opens with VLC. Could you help me please. My daughter wants to make it work on movie maker to edit some things. Thanks
Thank you so much I accidentally ripped 4 hours of the menu haha
I wasted about 30 mins
I got it to work by starting the video and in playback from the top menu at the bottom there is a red dot and record. Hit record and it will automatically save the video in your video file as you watch it. Very simple, it's taken me all day...
I am interested to know within VLC profiles what the Encapsulation is used for. I assume you specify the format of the output file. I sometimes go into a profile and change selection to raw option, especially if I am trying to strip out audio from video.
I have to say I have hit and miss results using VLC convert/save I think it depends on the source file you are ripping from.
i made a video for a class and only have 1 copy. I am trying to its a DVD. I have windows 7 on my PC. I don't want to pay to rip it. How do I create my own personal file do I can burn the DVD itself? thanks man
NOTS, I was with you until what you started as being saved in an .ogg container plays as an mp4? thanks for any help.
Ripped the dvd alright except that there was no audio, the audio track is set to -1
any suggestions on what i should do?
+MetalMatt2510 I've been having the same issue. Have you found a work around for this? The only thing I've found to work is ripping the video and audio separately then putting them back together in something like Windows Movie Maker.
+Gabe Kramer Have you found a fix for it yet?
Same issue
An easy way to tell what Title number you need is to actually get the movie to start playing (past the menu and advertisements). Once it's playing go up to Playback, hover the mouse over Title, and it will show you a list of all available titles. The one currently playing will have a dot next to it, and since it's the movie it should also be the longest in duration.
using Mac OS 10.9.5. when i open DVD Media from the file pull down, I get Audio_TS & Video_TS. i could not see your screen clearly [it's small & cloudy] so i couldn't continue. Thank you though for making this. maybe you can do it for a mac
Wait are you saying I have to insert the DVD into some part of the computer in order to rip a copy of it don’t want her hasn’t been working
I want to save an audio cd to my pc. This technique helps but is there any way to do it in a bulk and not one by one.
Which file type would be best for using in Windows Movie Maker? I have my own DVD and all, but MM doesn't like mp4 files... so frustrating.
Thanks man.
My sister is going on a trip soon and her laptop has seen better days, I'm using this to put some DVDs on her tablet.
how do you get the audio (sound )to work, try in to digitize my fav movies but no audio
Hi, great video, thanks. I have a DVD of guitar lessons that has a menu, do you know how to make it to keep the menu working?
To keep menus intact, you'll want to make a .iso backup of the DVD. I'm planning to make a video on that sometime in the future, but for now, you can look up a program like K3b to do it.
Thanks for the gear tutorial! Is there a way to convert protected .m4a audio files to mp3 using VLC? I have iTunes songs and audiobooks that I'd like to be able to listen to in my car but it can only play mp3 and WAV files! Thanks!
I went through all the steps listed in this video and the DVD seemed to rip the whole movie (which is 1:34:12 in length), but when the file appears, the length is 00:00. No other DVD I have ripped had this problem. Just so you know, the DVD with this problem is a bootleg; Would that be the cause of this error? I've already ripped another bootleg DVD without any problems. Is there a reason for this?
When i do it it gives me a 00:00:00 long video and its just the title. Any help on how to fix this?
When i try to do this, the dvd does not rip the whole film, i only rips so far. I can watch the file of what it has done, bit it is jot the whole dvd, what can i do?
I had a dvd that would not rip another any other program, but vlc worked. thanks.
Please can you help me? I am trying to record selected scenes from DVD's, I know how to do this however when the files are saved to my videos, they are in MPEG format and a 1 minute clip is huge like 80MB. Do you know how I could change the file format?
Very nice video! Any suggestions about how to change the language of the movie?
HEY, BTW, CAN i CONVERT AUDIO FILES TO MP4 WITH THIS TO USE IN MY SD DRIVE ON MY CAR STEREO AS WELL??? I hope sooooooo... it needs to be an mp4 format to work at all.
how do you get audio on your dvd that you ripped I noticed that you didn't have audio also on the arch of truth right away do you have any suggestions? its muy importante
You do not have to play with chapters you simply have to find which title has the main feature the entire title number will need to be ripped so there may be 50 chapters in that one title but you rip all of them
hi, for some reason, it converted with spanish audio.. why did it do this and how to change to english?
This was useful, thanks. I had to cast it to my TV so I could watch while I fiddled around with VLC, because my alt+tab only works sometimes. The price you pay for a cheap PC...
how long should this take? In the video it seems to take a few seconds but my computer is still working at it now 15 minues and counting?
Hey, I followed along with your steps but when I started the convert, it said "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///D:/#1'. Check the log for details."
What happened? Thanks.
Well, you're going to have to check the log. It should either be in your appdata folder or in VLC's program files.
Does Handbrake work with windows 10? I can't manage to rip one of my own DVDs.
That certainly was a helpful vid. I'm attempting to build a voice pack for XCOM 2 and I have the movies and such I need the audio from, but the issue is downloading the video first before I can mess with it. AGain, thanks for the vid.
Any suggestions as to also rip the subtitles? Let's say I want the basic English subs, which "track" is that on the Convert dialog box? Is it 1 or 0 or -1?
I ripped a copy of one of my DVDs to MP4, and the audio is all out of sync with the video. Starts off fine but after about 3 minutes, goes out of sync.
Used Xilisoft DVD Ripper Plat.
So completeted ripping, after doing what you said and then Does NOT play. Shows a quicktime file on my desktop. but plays on nothing. Give specific instructions for A MAC please.
hi, why there's no sound after i convertered it to my PC? pls help.
Thanks, man. I came back to a video file with the looping menu screen before watching this video :)
Thanks, it's brilliant video, but my VLC would not download, it just seemed to be in a perpetual loop of copying, it's a shame, because I really liked your method - and wanted to use. But I've managed to get it done just by copy and paste - well would you believe, after trying to many ways, this one worked for one DVD, hope it works for all the rest, which would also mean that I'll not have to rely on any other software.
ok, I have a question... if the dvd is not a full movie but short 5 to 10 min chapters, how do you select just chapter 3 only? What start number do you use and then end number? would it be 3 and 3? Or maybe 3 and 4? thanks!
I would guess that you would want to select Chapter 3 to Chapter 3. If it doesn't work, you can always try again with Chapter 3 to Chapter 4.
thx. .also for other nice features, google ZillaTube

Help, when I start converting VLC crashes, how can I stop that from happening again?
After the movie is on your PC,,,,can you put the movie on a memory card or memory stick? Thanks
John Jones
Of course you can, if you follow the instructions in the video you will end up with a movie file, which you can then transfer to anything, even a portable hard disk drive.
how do you do tv series when there is multiple series on a disc so i can do it all at 1 time
Great tutorial
I have tried to do this of a DVD some gave me of a game show i was on however im just getting the the opening of the program and not the whole program???
trying to figure out how to copy a workout dvd to another dvd. it has 4 different workouts in the menu that you can click on for each workout. im so lost. tech illiterate.
Hey, I'm ripping right now. Hope it works! BTW: Did you make your end titles in Blender??? Nice tutorial!
did u have any luck ???
Thank you!!!! I had wasted a lot of time before googling and finding this video. Big help!
Thank you so much, it works like a charm. Quick (depending on the computer. The one I used is a dinosaur with a pentium 4, 2G ram, and lubuntu installed for speed.) It's convenient as I use VLC as my default media player on linux, and it's free without (aside from vlc) third party software. It took a bit of tinkering, but it worked in the end. Coincidentally I wanted to use this method to backup all of my Stargate DVD's. I was psyched when I saw your shirt and the example lol. You rock man.
I tried Handbrake, but the movie always ended up with artifacts. With VLC, it worked first try. Thanks for your help!
I want to then take the file and put it on an external hardrive and play through the tv have tryed but no audio what format whould be best ???
@Soluciones Sencillas y más if you work it out drop a comment in here please and I will if I do
Just seems to loop over and over when converting...
your just ripping the menu title over and over again then... it happened to me...
It might be a virus which is causing this issue. You might go for wondershare video converter. It is easier to use it for your video conversion.

I ripped a 2 hours long video, when VLC was done filling the second by second ripping in the seeker bar it started over instead of finishing and I was left with a 4 Kilobyte file that is 00:00:00 seconds long,
What's wrong ?
I got this concert DVD I bought today and I want to rip the DVD and convert the individual chapters (each separate track) into mp3s so I can stick it on my iPod and play them track by track. Do I have to convert each individual chapter, or is there a way to convert them all, with VLC separating all the tracks?
Would it be more beneficial to use a program made for this purpose or does it not matter?
It shouldn't matter, because it's doing the same thing. If you want something a bit easier, though, I've got a newer video up about how to rip DVDs with HandBrake, which is more dedicated to ripping DVDs than VLC is.
hey thanks for this video! I managed to rip the DVD fine but with No audio :( any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?
I added a dvd using vlc, plays fine on vlc, but no audio when i try to play it through media player
ed wasson most original DVd audio doesn't play on Windows Media Player
Thank you I've been trying to convert DVDs of anime I buy into mp4s so that I can edit them on Premiere, but it would always either have no subtitles (if I need the subtitles for my edit) be the dub (when I want the Japanese voices) or just not work. Most of my problems lied in either not changing the audio track or not changing the subtitle track or not starting it at the right title.
They actually did make a tablet/portable DVD player hybrid device. They sell ‘em at Walmart
i was able to do that, but it has only audio and no video
Hi,
I have a question.
What if I want to rip some of my
music video and TV show DVDs?
I've got an updated tutorial on how to do individual episodes (the new tutorial uses a program called HandBrake, which is easier to use than VLC.) You'll need to connect a computer to your TV to watch videos, or you could try a streaming device like the Chromecast.
I have VLC on my computer for riping dvd to computer. Only thing I don't like is that I have to play the whole movie for it all to be downloaded. So if the movie is an hour and a half, it takes an hour and a half to rip. Is there any other way to get it done faster using VLC?
If there is, I don't know it. VLC is a media player, so maybe what we're really doing here is "playing" the DVD to a file. There's a link in the description to a video about HandBrake. That will rip and encode the DVD at the fastest speed it can.
So this entire rip is done in real time with VLC?
thanks Jacob for sharing this, it helps a lot
Great video!! This was exactly what I was looking for just to copy my dvd's onto my pc so I could watch them. Thanks!!!
Appreciate the help, since I ripped a menu and not the movie. However, this video could have been made in about 1/4 the time if you weren't adding so much extra commentary!
I see i'm not the only one having problems using VLC. I've used it before but now it just sits there. I can create and name a file from something i'm trying to copy (a dvd) but nothing seems to copy or convert. The file will be there on my video list but either won't play at all or the file below it will play when I click on it to play it. I un installed it and re installed VLC but it's still not working. It worked just fine a few months ago but now no. It also crashes. What i'm trying to do is copy a short 2 or 3 min segment from a dvd for a friend and make it small enough to email. Trying to convert dvd to a webm. I can't figure it out. Thanks
Before coming onto this video, the whole movie was ripped and VLC kept looping 33 seconds. I didn't try playing it yet, I just wanted to know what it was doing.
Thanks for video, very nice of you. Please turn volume down on your mic setting, on future videos, sound is distorted.
Thank you! This video was very straightforward.
Can VLC rip video's into separate Chapters or Titles like CH1, CH2 and so on also can VLC burn in subtitles into the video, many thanks
I'm using the latest version of vlc, and there's no 'disc' option for convert/save. Does anyone know how to solve this?
daeodon look up an older version of vlc
Is there anyway we can talk one on one, you lost me from the beginning. I know nothing about computer, but I want to rip DVDs so I can watch on my ipad
Yo, dude, buy a better microphone. your sound is terrible.
Dude MP4 is a container format much like MKV the Kodak’s you’re going to select the go inside that doesn’t want banner nose or water gonna make it either playable are not playable on the device do you want to play it on
nice what are the specs for your pc since it blazes through the rip? My laptop converting a .mp4 in H.264 to Mpeg2 took nearly 4 hours on my sandy bridge core i7 laptop. Handbrake is running on the dedicated gpu
Okay actually that doesnt work. It starts going through the movie like you said and as soon as it is finished it switches to something which is titled as "streaming" and only 40 seconds long (although the movie is about 2 hours long and it went through all of it! also i only put the first chaptor from 0 to 1). The file of the movie which is saved and named in the beginning is only 1kb and 0 seconds. :( what do i do wrong?
no idea? :(
Gretel I'm not sure what went wrong in your case, sorry. You could try another program, like Handbrake. I might remake this video with better audio and a few troubleshooting tips at some point.
Sorry it's been a while and you probably found another solution, but try converting instead of streaming. That's what I had to do. I got a few error messages, but the video plays fine (on vlc).
Nice pal. Thanks for the pointers.
Do you live in the catacombs
Thanks for the tutorial. Worked like a charm!
some one told me to make a folder name it the movie you wan't and in in sted of playing the video jest poen it like a file.Then hilight all and coppy all to that folder. I think I'll try that to see if it works?!?.
Minus all the talking awesome video Jacob! Helped alot
