I have a copy of the silent hill dvd.

I want to have the movie on my computer so that I can put it in flash and microsoft movie maker and dick around with some ideas for a music video for my band.

what do I need to do this? I downloaded some freeware from download.com and nothing could rip the dvd from my disk drive.

my computer is older and the cd drive doesn't have dvd capabilities, but would that stop me from ripping a dvd?

what do I need to do this?

is there a cable I can buy that would hook up to an s video out or AV out into my computer and software I can record from?

what's the deeeel niggas.

You don't have a DVD drive? Then no DVD reading for you.

If that's true, you should buy a burner. They're dirt cheap now. I've bought a couple of these and they're great... 30 bucks, too.

I'm willing to buy some shit, but I obviously don't want to dish out a few hundred bucks just to get some movie clips on my computer.

what's my cheapest option?

I was thinking about buying this 50$ dvd drive from best buy.. but it's only 50 bucks so I'm probly begging for trouble.

Also, i was thinking of steeling the one out of my sister's pc. but I can't find drivers for it to download.

dont need drivers just plug it in and XP will take care of the rest, I bought a 25$ dvd burner from newegg and it has been flawless

divx?

I did need to download a driver, but I found it in my sister's CD pile.

The DVD drive now work, but I'm having a problem finding a DVD ripping program that will let me rip this DVD because it's 'protected'

any idea what program doesn't give a damn about this movie's protection?

DVDshrink is great. However, every now and then I'll find a movie that DVD shrink can't handle. Have you tried it with Silent Hill yet?

I re-read what you're trying to do. DVDshrink will only get you unprotected VOB files. I'm not sure what you can use to get raw MPEG2 vid off of dvds though. I'm usually trying to do it the other way around.

dvdshrink rules.

dunno,but my limewires being retarded.

niether program worked for ripping the movie.

dvd shrink said invalid dvd navigation

and deamon has never worked for me

thats a good guide to DivX encoding. if you're trying to do video editing on an older computer then don't expect it to look very good. also you'll need to let it sit overnight most times. I have a pretty fast computer and it still takes about 6 hours for a good high quality divx rip. An older machine might take 20+ hours and you could still end up with artifacts and unsynched audio.

dvd decrypter also didn't work.

my computer is from 2002 but is not a very high end pc.

it took about an hour and a half to rip the first half of the movie on the only program that I got to work, but it was a trial so it wouldn't save the fials and only gave me half the movie.

I'm not looking for anything that's insane quality because the finished product is just going on like youtube.

I think I quit. hopefully someone here owns a copy of the movie and will be willing to rip it for me.

I need to get all over doom9. I've been backing up way too many things from tivo.

I wish I had tivo. I'm stuck with comcast digital.

fuck comcast.

I have comcast digital and a tivo so eat it.

Just having comcast digital actually negatively impacts the fact that you have tivo, due to it's pure suckage.

I think my computers just to suck to be able to rip protected DVDs. I've tried everything.

Who has this movie that feels like ripping it for me?

I like comcast digital cause of channel 227.

maybe it's a regional thing, but where I live like 40% of the time it's latent. if I hit rewind it doesn't do anything then 2 mintes later it will start rewinding and I hit play where I want it to and it keeps rewinding for like 2 more minutes.

it drives me nuts.

also, every music channel comes in fine on my box.. except for the metal channel. the signal is all ditorted and shit and sometimes it won't even load the music channels.

rewind? I think you are confusing DVR with digital cable? or are you talking on demand?
I'm just talking regular digital cable channel 227.
it rules.

DVR is what I was thinking, and it's capabilies with comcast eat balls.

I don't know what channel 227 is. You might be wanting me to go check and see, but I can't leave my bed for two weeks so now the mystery is going to torture me.

the science channel it rules.

that's the channel that has survivor man on it right? I love that fucking show.

http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/ this has never failed me

it failed me yeasterday at around 8.

yes, surviorman is the science channel. I watch it like a religion on tuesdays.

If I'm ever stranded in the arctic wilderness and need to eat a rock using only rice paper and a broken bike reflector, I'll know EXACTLY what to do.

rice paper? what an obscure reference.

Yea. That's right. Rice paper.

Deal with it.

What are the specs of this computer.

A computer that old should still be able to rip this thing. If there's a new kind of protection on the disc, though, a newer computer won't make a difference.
