I tried DVD Shrink, but it doesn't compress while ripping. I need an easy way to rip a DVD straight to a compressed format. How can I do that?

This is not an easy answer since most DVD/blue-rays are copyrighted but if your willing to go the legit route get http://www.dvdfab.com/ by far is amazing and worth the money, I also have some opensource ones but they are more complicated to use.

Handbrake will do that I believe. I've only used it for DVD's I had pre-ripped, so I'm not 100% sure.

Doesnt accept copy-righted dvds... – coderama – 2011-12-28T16:24:48.320

Doing so would be in violation of the DMCA as breaking the encryption even for fair-use reasons is considered illegal (in the US anyhow). It was probably left out intentionally so the US Gov wouldn't bully the author. – Melikoth – 2011-12-28T16:36:42.567

2Illegal to copu your own dvds?! sigh Dumb law. – coderama – 2011-12-28T19:22:34.637
