Answer 2

You can try some best DVD Ripper Platinum here, they can convert DVD to AVI, DivX, XviD, VCD, WMV, MPEG4 format video files, with almost same quality, but just only 10% size. So you can add DVD Movie to iPod, Zune, Pocket PC or any other MP4 player. Also, you can rip the DVD to the formats for Youtube video such as wmv.



Even you can use the video editor profile to output avi file for your video editing software, such as Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas. Also, it supports ripping MTV, music DVD to MP3 audio; you can listen to your favorite movies on your iPod now!

Answer 3

You probably can't.  DVD's hold a lot more information and use a different and stronger hardware method to record it.

A DVD drive will read CD's and a DVD RW drive will make CD's, but a CD drive won't touch a DVD.

Yesterday we did a "Save the System" on a new computer and it wanted 2 DVD's or 15 CD's to hold the files which gives you some idea of the proportion.

  If you just want to be able to read DVD's, you might get a USB external DVD RW drive -- they are about $70 at places like Frys.
