I googled wikipedia on whats ripper but all come out different thing ... that y i ask here, forgive me

i just wish to know whats dvd ripping for and what it does actually ?

does it mean making ur dvd quality picture nicer ??

To rip your DVD apart ??

kk, jokes aside.. It is to rip stuffs out of DVD (data). Function something like CD ripper, I think

u mean copy from dvd to hard disk ?

Yeah, I think so, though I have yet to try one

dvd ripper is the software to convert ur dvd movie to avi/ mpeg file,

DVD ripper basically is to extract the vob files out of the DVD
From there you can encode it to MPEG4 video files with containers like .avi and etc

err why do we need convert from dvd to mpeg or .avi ?

i tot dvd quality would always be better @@

if u want to keep the dvd file in your pc, the size is way too big, 4gb for a movie, but if u convert to avi, the file is quite small around 800mb a movie, anyway what the point u ask this?? later don't ask why people want to save movie in their pc

I've read through Wikipedia's explanation on ripping and it's pretty straighforward.

And no Atlantis, it won't make the picture quality nicer

it also make the file easy to be share with other..

Compression bro...

Actually the movies you got in DVDs are compressed files too in the MPEG2 format
Try go lossless and you will get the real thing

About DVD quality will be better <----- not necessary, some DVD videos sucks eventhough its original. Bad telecine, add grain just to increase bitrate to the video and etc
