The original DVD ripper! What sets this app apart is the ability to shrink 8gb dual-layer DVD's down to single 4gb DVD sizes. DVD Shrink has not been in active development for awhile, but still remains a crowd favorite.

One of the best free and cross-platform DVD ripping utilities. Handbrake supports ripping to iPods, PSP, Apple TV, PS3 and pretty much any file format your device requires.

THE DVD ripper for Macs. This freeware application rips the DVD menu and files to your hard drive but does not encode to other formats. Works well in conjunction with Handbrake.

Freeware DVD ripper that removes protection. The software has not been updated in awhile..but still does the trick.

Copies entire movies to disk and removes all protection (CSS, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs and Sony ARccOS). Bonus - comes with support for HD-DVD and Blu-ray (removes AACS)!
