Yup it's legal and ethical as far as I know

Totally no drm on DVDs

It's your property, as long as you don't duplicate it and give it out, you're good to go.

You have the right to remain silent...

Yes it's okay ethically if you don't give it out, but legally it is wrong to copy it even for personal, silly I know. But that's why they have copy protection on. However a lot of newer films are coming with digital download copies.

Thanks. I havent run into any protection things with the software im using.
So would it be better to buy from itunes or is either way fine?

Thanks for your help!!!!

Try Videora. It has a link to a free DVD decrypter and is a good iPod touch/iPhone converter.

I read in a magazine that HandBreak is good but I tried it and it couldn't do copy protected DVDs so avoid that. I read on forums that many others found this problem too

[SJP99]

Woud it possible to use the vidoera converter to create an mp4 than use another video converter to reconvert so i can specifie my own bitrate?

Would that work? I really like being able to specify my own bitrate.

[All-Eyez-On-Me]

Yes, as long as you don't share it with anyone.

[SJP99]

Yes, as long as you don't share it with anyone.

Thanks. Nice to no im not breaking any more laws.

I use Handbrake, never had any problems with it, great piece of free software imo

But then again, maybe I've just been fortunate enough to have never bought and tried to rip a copy protected DVD

[SJP99]

So is there any software out there better than DVD decrypter? DVD decryter is old and is sort of hard to use.

Thank you come again
