DVD Ripping Burning ISO Creation
While looking for software that performs DVD ripping, ISO creation, ISO burning etc it’s easy to get swamped in the hundreds of options available. However I tend to be wary of paying for such utilities generally as many seem to be mere wrappers around existing code or even open source code.
Anyway – I’d recommend a trip over to Doom9.net for a look around they have a great list of tools for use in this area.
I was making a duplicate of a data dvd and also wanted a ISO to backup to my external hdd.
I used DVD Decrypter to rip it to an ISO and then used Daemon Tools to mount the ISO and check it was ok, and finally DVD Decrypter again to burn it to another DVD. I could obviously just have moved the data files in explorer as this was just a data disc and have created a backup disc that way, but I prefer to have an ISO of an important disc.
As a footnote the developer of DVD Decrypter is Lightning UK and they/he had to stop work on it some time ago after receiving a cease and desist notice – however they/he now provide ImgBurn here: http://www.imgburn.com
Great work – thanks a lot to them.
