Q: What is the minimum hardware and software requirements for using DVDRipper?

A DVD-ROM Player installed in a computer

Q: Can DVD-COPIES be played on a standard DVD Player?
A: Most DVD-COPIES can be played on a standard DVD Player, provided the DVD Player supports Video CD (VCD/SVCD). Most DVD Players manufactured within the last two years, support the standard Video CD format. Refer to your DVD Player owners manual for more information or click here to check on the VCD/SVCD compatibility of your DVD Player.

Q: How many CD-R's are required to burn one DVD and how long will it take?
A: That depends upon the length of the DVD video, and whether or not you plan to play the CD in a conventional DVD Player using Video CD technology. If you want to store the movie in a compressed MPEG or DIVX format and replay the movie on your computer, or computer to the TV, then one CD can be sufficient with specific compression technologies. But if you want to store the format in VCD/SVCD and play it on your console DVD player, then two CD's will typically be required to hold a full feature length DVD (2 - 2 1/2 hours). You can store (depending on the CD-R) up to 80 minutes of video on one CD-R in VCD format.
The time required for decoding will vary depending upon the speed of your computer and the level of detail in the DVD. Your computer will be processing many gigabytes of data and when you consider the amount of data involved, the time required for the process is actually quite minimal. Faster computers can typically decode a 2 hour movie in less than four hours. Slower computers will take longer. However, the process does not require your constant attention as you can begin the process before you go to bed or while you're at work. For the average computer, running a Pentium III 850 MHZ with 128MB of Ram, you can expect the entire process to take between 4-6 hours for an average two hour movie.

Q: Will my CD retain the same quality and digital stereo that is on my DVD?
A: Actually, VCD/SVCD quality is much better than VHS, but not quite as good as DVD. Some can tell the difference, while others can't. The audio portion is recorded in true digital stereo and you will retain the same aspect ratio of a DVD. Many of our customers maintain a library of DVD Videos on their computer hard drives as well. This allows them to make an exact copy of the original DVD, video, audio and all MENUS! So there is no difference between a DVD VOB file on your hard drive and the VOB file on a DVD. They are IDENTICAL in every way!

Q: Does the copy retain all of the bonus footage and menus?
A: That depends on whether you store the DVD to your hard drive or you store it to VCD/SVCD or DivX format. If you store the DVD to your hard drive, you can retain all bonus footage and menus. However, neither VCD or DivX can retain the bonus footage or menus. You can, however, use our software to copy specific footage from a DVD, like movie trailers or interviews.

Q: Will DVDRipper work with all CDR burners?
A: DVDRipper has been tested with most major CDR products and has been found to be compatible with all of them.

Q: Is the DVDRipper Process complicated?
A: Although the DVDRipper process can appear complicated at first, you will discover that we've made the process as simple as possible and provide step by step instructions from beginning to end.

Q: Can I download a demo of the software?
A: Presently, we don't offer a demo for download. We are however working on one at this time and have plans to release a demo.

Q: Do I need to buy a DVD-Burner?
A: NO! You do not need an expensive DVD-Burner for use with DVDRipper. If you have a DVD-Burner, do not purchase DVDRipper. You already have everything you need to burn and copy DVD Video.

Q: Can I copy my VHS tapes using DVDRipper?
A: YES! In order to achieve this you will need a video card with a Video In port for a camcorder or VCR and the software necessary to capture the video.
