DVD Rippers

[wetcamelfood]

DVD Decrypter (free ripper, not updated anymore but still works fine for me) here:

...and DVD43 (also a free tool, which gets around copy protection) here:

Can't think of any free VOB to MPEG encoders but I use VideoReDo for editing and that also converts VOB to MPEG and was worth the 40 dollars for me:

I use ULead DMF3 for burning only because it was the only burning software I could find that would accept the low screen resolution that I have to use due to my ancient monitor but I've had no problems with it.

Hope this helps.
