If you'd prefer to rip and then burn them back to DVD then there's other software for that and another handy guide. Let me know.

Does that work Si Pie?
 
# DVDx now comes in 2 versions, Standard and Ultra. Standard is fully functional but does not rip copy protected DVDs, that is left to the Ultra version.
# The Standard version is free but you have to join the site and pay a fee to get the Ultra version.

Fair play if it does, handy to know as it looks like a good free product.

Oh right.

I actually use DVD shrink but I can't remember if it can rip to anything but ISO and I'm not on the computer with it installed.

When I looked in to it a while back I couldn't find any all-in-one solution. You seem to need a few different pieces of software to remove the various protection methods (and figure out which one to use for each DVD) and then another piece of software to actually rip the DVD. All a bit of a mess and I couldn't be bothered.

I now use Handbrake to convert video which seems pretty good. It can rip DVD's as well and I'm pretty certain there are ways to get it to remove protection automatically with the help of other software. You'll need to do some digging and research to figure it all out.

DVD43 is a good little free program to get round the copy protection.

Not sure whether it would work with the free program Si Pie listed above but might be worth a try?

I think as Jonny says, the solution will be to rip to your hard drive first, using dvdshrink or dvddecrypter then converting from there.

Came across this, which would appear to do the job. Haven't used it mind.

I'm pretty sure you can set up VLC to stream to a file of any sort it supports, although it might take a bit of work.
