Maybe the wrong place to ask, so sorry to the mods if thats the case.
I’ve a load of movies on DVD and wonder if its worth converting to mp4 and building a personal media centre to save loading each and every disc. I’ve tried to convert a movie I like to mp4 today using VLC but that crashes. I then downloaded winxdvd ripper - that worked better but cut the movie off after 10 minutes (I fail to see why I should have to pay 40 quid to get more than 10 mins of video).
I also tried an old Ubuntu install on another laptop and Handbrake and VLC there but got no video at all.
Is there any app/program that is open source/actually free where I can just drop in my DVD and create an easy mp4 file to be viewed via my media player/TV?
Thanks in advance
I prefer HandBrake to rip my DVD to MP4. MakeMKV is a little complex to use because you have to convert the output MKV to MP4 format with another tool. But, if you need to rip protected DVDs, you can try other DVD ripper windows 10 or Mac.
