How do I rip dvd's?
 

There's another thread about this (back in march) but no one answered it and it seems that the person already knew how to do it.

Anyway, I know this is a "noob" question, but could you please go over the process in a good amount of detail? I've searched through google and every website I check only makes it more confusing.

I want to rip the actual movie (not the dvd image) from one of my dvd's into a movie format file (like avi, or mpeg; whichever format that you'd recommend for things like this). Credits as well, of course, just like a movie that you'd download off a bittorrent website). How would I do this (details, please)?

Thanks.

You can use DVD Shrink to make it smaller.

That's not what I asked. That's for ripping the image; I want to rip the actual movie.

This guide should help you out, it's for beginners.
