Jayenkai	If you were in my room, right now, all you'd hear is two things. 1. Me yelling "SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" 2. The DVD drive sounding like a freakin' Jet Engine. : Download It's been ticking me off for ages, and I really can't be arsed anymore. I wanna watch my Stargate DVDs in peace, but want the Commentaries intact. I can shove a disc in, have it rip whilst I'm at work, and watch it in peace when I get home.. Anyone want to make any recommendations? Never attempted DVD rips before.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

HoboBen	You could just extract the disk image (.iso) and mount it as a normal DVD from the file system. This is simple with Linux (any of the dvd copying software should do it) but probably a pain with windows unless you have the (probably non-free) software to do it. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Mog	Always with the 'go with linux, windows r pain' response... Seriously people, windows isn't that painful when finding things like this! Try https://www.imgburn.com/ -- it's what i use. It's on windows, it works and its free - just do that then use Daemon tools to mount it and watch it normally. -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

JL235	If you check your PMs you'll see I recommended Magic DVD Ripper a while back. But I remember picking a DVD ripper and then switching to another as the quality is really bad. Dunno if Magic DVD is the one I switched away from or too. Hope that helps!

HoboBen	Thanks Mog. I tried to do this with windows a while back and this was my experience (I even ended up compiling a short C program to extract the .iso!). I didn't realise Daemon Tools had a free option - that's nice to know. Even so, *nix and macs do make working with disk images far easier by default and I suggested it because Jay has access to both Ubuntu and a mac now. Sorry if it came across fanboy-ish. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

JL235	You could also buy a new DVD drive. They cost almost nothing now.

Jayenkai	Indeed, I got a whole big bag-o-everything sat here! I also actually considered the fact that I could re-attach the X360, and start using that as a DVD Player. The reason I hadn't done that before is A) Everytime I switch the smegger on, I have to wait 20 minutes for yet-another update. B) I never switch it on, no time to play anymore. C) I was over worried about it Red-Ringing due to me having used it as something as stupid as a DVD Drive. If it's doing to overheat, it's going to do it whilst I'm playing a 24-hour session of Burnout, not 'cos of a sodding DVD! I'll play with my possibilities later today. For now, there's a game to write, and I just got my Gingerbread Syrup!! (Wow, they weren't kidding about Next Day, it's not even 9am!) \|edit\| Oh, and I wouldn't buy a new DVD drive.. If I had to buy a new drive, it'd be a Blue-Ray, just for the hell of it. ... But then I'm no financial position to then start spending bucketloads on all my shows all over again, so sod that! \|edit\| -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Stealth	Handbrake on Ubuntu works great. Ripping a DVD takes about 2 hours on it and you can convert it to popular formats (such as iPhing sizes). I would buy a new DVD drive or a DVD player. They aren't pricey. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.
