How to Rip DVDs with VLC

Sorry, everyone. I forgot to include instructions on how to deal with audio commentaries. How-To: On the Disc tab at the bottom left change Audio track from -1 to 0. It's right next to the Subtitle track. This should fix any issue with audio commentary playing over the video. I'll pin this to the top.

VLC has been updated. The progress bar no longer shows up when trying to rip a dvd in vlc. In order to see how far the dvd has progressed with the ripping, you'd need to stop it and check the file, Otherwise, you could be sitting at your computer all day just waiting for it to complete, not knowing when it is complete.

Subtitles cannot be activated.....

My first tought : this guy sounds like David tennant...1 minute later he write doctor who s9 in the file name...I'm like wait a second...

great video, and absolute lifesaver!

Simple and Straight to the point, just a perfect tutorial!

Outdated and doesn't work for Mac.

wow! nowadays when we search programs for specific purposes it's so difficult coming across with a free option, so clear, simple and effective.
thank you for sharing!

just watched shrek and wanted to rip it and cried bc its shrek in the tutorial

I am trying to rip a DVD and I need assistance with which profile to select. One that I tried captures the video but no audio and others are the other way around. How do I find a profile setting that will have both?

Still works!

I've noticed maybe half of the time, once it's completed the rip, the audio totally gets out of sync. Pretty much halfway through the movie. Any idea what would be causing that? These are pretty much brand new discs.

It works but audio no matter how I adjust it will still be out of sync. I downloaded WinX DVD ripper and it wont even recognize the disc. Problems problems

Hey how you doing I did this but it didn't work for me I already gave you about 3 minutes of the movie

is it in real-time?

I’m only getting one episode off my compilation dvd

How does it work with video compilations with more than one episode like different episodes of Sanford and Son?

I have converted a few DVDs to my desktop then to a USB drive.. The converted movie will work perfectly running through VLC. If I download the same file from VLC to the USB, I don't get sound!! What is causing this??

didnt work for me :/ vlc file couldnt be opened afterwards

yo david tennant?

Does it do this in real time? Like if it's an hour and 15-minute long then I have to wait an hour and 15 minutes?

It has read error

I’m having trouble with audio sync audio is always a few seconds late and the video runs a little fast any suggestions

Mine doesn’t never starts with a progress bar

Thank you

I figured out how to get audio in my DVD rip, but now I've run into a whole new problem. No matter which audio track setting I pick, the rip always uses the Russian audio track (it has four audio tracks, English, English with narration, Spanish and Russian)

I know this is a older video.
Is there anyway to rip/copy dvd movie I own to my computer.
Because WOW it's really slow...
Thanks

It only plays the movie...

can you show us how to just rip the special features section of a dvd please

Does anyone know why, when I do this exact process, VLC just plays the movie and doesn't record anything?

Excellent!

How to rip DVDs into individual episodes using VLC? (As in, 24 episodes in a series, 24 mp4 files)

thanks

VLC is a good tool to convert and digitized DVDs.

nothing happens, this doesnt work

I have tried multiple times with every combination of settings and cannot get audio when played on VLC. However, I get BOTH audio tracks when played on Windows Media Player no matter the settings.

I was expecting a Hindu and got a Scot. I should play the lottery now

my VLC doesn't have A media tab :(

Do you know if this loses video quality from the original dvd?

Werkt helemaal niet kan er geen enkele dvd mee rippen.

What do you know about bypassing encryption? Because yesterday or feb 5th, i mannagged to get territory 8 but instead of the whole movie, it only gave me a 10 second black screen with the fbi warning as the thumbnail.

HELP!
I followed your instructions and it worked. But my computer has now been encoding for over 24 hours and the destination MP4 file is up to over 17GB and counting, and I just ripping a standard movie DVD. Much worse VLC media player does not have an overall progress bar so I have no idea when it will be done. It's using up so much bandwidth that my computer is virtually useless for anything else in the mean time, and I have work to do. How big will this file get?

Which output format gives the best quality please?

For some reason I don't have tabs on my VLC player. Why don't I have tabs on my VLC player?

good content, thanks

When I tried this it ripped but I could only listen I couldn't watch the movie
Any advice

When I play the digital file from my laptop only the 1st four or five minutes have audio, there is no audio after that

Thanks!
