I was wondering if anyone here knows how I can rip what's on a DVD onto my computer hard drive. I have been trying to and I can't figure it out

What exactly do you want to do?
Do you want to copy a commercial DVD so you can use the copy and protect the original from scratches?
Are you planning on keeping the DVD on your PC instead of making a copy?
If you are keeping it on your machin do you want to keep the same quality (and large size) or do you want to compress it into a DiVX or similar?

DVDShrink is about the easiest route to backing up DVDs (and it's even one-click if you use Nero).
DVDShrink is no longer in development and it can't copy some newer DVDs due to the encryption schemes used.
For those that trip it up try DVD Fab Decrypter and then run shrink on the ripped data.
DVDShrink will let you remove the extra scenes, language tracks, menus etc etc out of a DVD to make it small enough to on a single layer DVD (4.7GB). If the remaining bits are still too larger it can compress them to fit (or just compress the entire DVD if you so desire).
Since Shrink is a transcoder if the compression ratio is more than 80% or so the quality will suffer. So try to keep minimize the amount you compress the video.
Now if you absolutely must compress the hell out of your data then try DVD Rebuilder. It is a re-encoder and will deliver much better quality on compressed videos. Unfortunately the tradeoff is usually in the speed department, the free codecs included with Rebuilder will make the process slower than if you use Shrink. There are some codecs that are faster (CCE & procode) but they are proprietary and you'll have to pay for them.
So if you don't need to compress the video then it is easier to just stick with Shrink.
You can also use dual layer DVD-Rs so you don't need to tear out the menus etc or resort to compression, but they do cost more.

First things first, I want to copy it and put it on my hard drive. Once it is on the hard drive, I plan to convert it into smaller size format with programs I got. I don't want to put it on a DVD disk, b/c a.) I don't know how on my computer, and b.) I don't have any use for it on a disk, as if it is on my computer, I can then convert it to iPod formatMuck;1199187; said:

How to Burn DVD's
1) Create Folder to save movie into on desktop.
2) Open movie in DVD Decrypter and save to folder.
3) Open created folder in DVD Shrink & pick "Main Movie" and re-author.
4) Create a "Shrink" Folder.
5) Save "Backup" in shrink folder.
6) Open "Shrink" Folder and right click on VIDEO_TS and send to RecordNow & burn.

Just use DVDShrink to rip it to your HDD and then convert the .vobs using the program you have (what program are you using btw*)
Normally Shrink will break the video up into 1GB VOB files. If the software you are using won't piece sequential .vobs back into a single file you can force Shrink to output a single .vob by clicking on:
Edit > Preferences > Output Files & unclicking "Split VOB Files Into 1GB Size Chunks"
If you have any problems and need more specific advice try the forums at AfterDawn or CDFreaks. Both have a very knowledgeable userbase and have plenty of guides up to handle just about any problem you may have.
Good luck!
*This is where I find out you're using handbrake on a Mac and all my info is worthless.
