So I have DVDs from both region 1 and Region 2 which I can play through a region free DVD player and VLC. My trouble is I want to get all the DVDs on a computer before I go away and I won't be able to take the DVDs. Does anyone know of a good way to rip both Region DVDs?

I've used both DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter to make a digital back-up for my personal use. This lets you still see the menus and access the subtitles while not being reliant on having the discs to hand. Size is at most 3.5 GBs per discs, so an external hard drive will be useful. Some manufacturers do use copy protection these programs can't break, so Google might be your friend here.

I understand it is for personal use (I'm going away to school and would rather not take the physical DVDs). Do those programs work with the Classic Who DVDs?

I understand it is for personal use (I'm going away to school and would rather not take the physical DVDs). Do those programs work with the Classic Who DVDs? Yes they do. I use DVD deceypter to make a virtual copy of the disc on my hard drive. Decrypter's greatest advantage is is automatically bypasses DRM. DVD shrink (make sure it's v3.2) is then a great little utility for customising virtual discs. The way it authors the new virtual disc jas each title on a seperate vob file which means you can easily convert them into something like mpg or mkv files. I'm away from home at the moment but I think the program i use for that is called mkv joiner. So it's DVD decrypter to remove DRM Then DVD shrink 3.2 to make a new copy where each thing you want as a separate video file gets its own vts.vob Then if a title is less than 1gb just change the extension from vob to mog. Otherwise mkv joiner will join all the linked vobs rogether into one mkv file. Then I can play my entire Doctor Who collection through the 3tb hard drive plugged into my xbox.

If you use a Mac, handbrake is excellent for producing mp4 files (its pretty good on Windows too) and is free . I backup all my DVDs (region 1 and 2) using it and my Blu Rays using a combination of Handbrake and MakeMKV

Maybe you could give me some tips. His and my computer are both region 1 and the DVDs are region 2. (Blake's 7 was never made in region 1 format.) He also suggested Mac DVD Ripper, but I couldn't get that to work, either.

Popped a disc in, mac asked to change region id code to 1 - ripped all my region 1 discs fine, popped in a region 2 disc, asked to change region id code to 2 - rips my region 2 fine. You are only supposed to be able to change the region code four times (?) before it locks to the last one - is it possible you have hit that limit? Cheers Tony

And I think my nephew was able to do it without changing the region code. Not sure how he did that. So I haven't even touched the limit. I changed my son's very old, no longer used PC to region 2 so I could watch, but I'd really like a digital copy so I can watch on my own computer without having to switch regions and bump up against that limit on switching regions.

Right so I've used DVD Shrink to test out them but it won't work on Region 2 without me changing the Region which I don't wish to do. Does anyone know of another program which will do Region 2 DVDs without switching the regions?

Think the newer ones have issues even mounting discs from different regions (according to www.interrupt19.com/2008/10/06/get-around-that-pesky-dvd-region-code-nonsense/). Do you get any errors when trying to rip it? Cheers Tony

I just wanted to be able to play those DVDs that are a different region from most of my DVDs. I may need to just get a region free player.
