Are there any freeware programs or something that will rip video off of DVD’s? Or is there any other way to do that?
I’ve used a program called Nero to do it before, but that was a demo version we got with our DVD burner, and it’s time expired.
Are you on a mac or PC? if you are on a mac use a program called MacTheRipper
Forrest-
I have the setups for DVDDecrypt, DVDFABDecrypt, and DVDShrink. You used to be able to get all of these programs for free. That’s not the case anymore with the newer versions. DVDFABDecrypt has a thorough .pdf instructional document with it. They will rip and burn about anything but you can’t update DVDFABDecrypt for free, you can’t find DVDDecrypt anymore, and I haven’t looked for the DVDShrink website recently but the link to it in the program help menu is dead. All together it’s about 4MB of stuff. If you don’t find anything you like I can zip these up and e-mail them to you. PM me if you’re interested. It may take me a few days to find the PM because I don’t log on too much lately.
Dvd shrink 
Here’s where you can find DVDShrink for free. There’s a link to a guide on the same page.
