Hollywood wants you to buy its movies on DVD and Blu-ray, but it also wants to control what you do with them once you get home. That doesnt sit well with us, so were going to show you how to do something that Hollywood most definitely does not want you to do: Rip movies and copy them to your computers hard drive so you can enjoy them without ever having to get up off your couch to drop a disc in the DVD player.

Its called fair use - if you buy a movie on a disc, then you should have the right to make a back-up copy, or transfer the content to another medium, like a hard drive. Of course, you dont have the right to distribute or sell copies of the movies you buy, but you probably knew that already.

How to Free Rip a DVD disc with MakeMKV and Handbrake?

This process can take anywhere from two minutes to half an hour depending on your computers processing power, but when its done you should have a nice big MKV file waiting for you in the folder you specified.
