Based on your setup (cd-rw and dvd-rom), you are all set to make (s)vcds, which is a video cd. You can play them on many DVD players. www.dvdrhelp.com will answer all of your questions on how to rip and burn a vcd.

So you're into kvcds eh? Even easier. Get the program ACP, it will rip and convert to a KVCD in one click. When you install ACP, it automatically installs DVD Decrypter as well, so if you didn't want to use ACP to make your KVCD, you can still use DVD Decrypter to rip it yourself and encode it yourself. Also, smart ripper is another ripping software. Search this forum for "ACP Kvcd" and you should find some posts on it.

Good Luck,

dvddecryptor will create .vob, .ifo and .bup files, which are the native dvd files.

I think this topic has been covered a thousand times in this forum. A guide should be pinned so beginners can be directed to that.

Sorry I didn't reply, my computer is near failing, and we're having some problems getting it booted up... Most my time has been spent trying to backup/move my files :blink:

Robert summed it up pretty well. You rip the DVD using DVD Decrypter, and it creates VOB files, which are VERY large, and usually an IFO file, which contains some data about how the dvd works (chapter times, etc...) dvdrhelp is a great resource, many guides there on what you are looking to do.
