Sometimes we want to rip some digital media datas from DVD to our hard drive. You may have thought that you needed some fancy DVD ripping tools. No, you don't need. You can use vlc media player to make it. But how to do it?

Vlc media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols without external codec or program. It can play MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 / DivX files from a hard disk, a CD-ROM drive, and DVDs, VCDs, Audio CDs and so on. Now your problem will be solved with vlc media player. Now let us see what's steps to master digital media with VLC.

Step by Step Guide on matering digital media with VLC media player.

Step 1: Insert DVD, and open it with vlc.

Step 2: Click "Media", choose "Opden Disc...", there is a dialog box out.We need to find the right title to rip from the DVD, so at this point we're going to preview titles from the disc one by one. To do this, start with 0 as your title number and increment one number at a time until you find the title you want to rip. I've found it's quicker if you choose DVD rather than DVD (menus) at the top of the Open dialog so you only have to wade through actual video.



Step 3: Click "Convert". Pick a folder to save it to and then give it a name (e.g., My DVD Rip.mpg).Then click "Edit select profile" in the Settings pannel.



Step 4: Now you're ready to tweak the final settings before it's time to rip. Tick the Video codec and Audio codec, then choose the output codecs you prefer. This is really up to you, and if you don't have a preference I've had good results using the defaults described in this excellent VLC rip guide: mp1v for the video codec and mp3 for audio. If you need a specific file format for a mobile device, you may want to choose a difference encapsulation method and codec. Click "Save" then click "start".



You've made it. Is it easy to master it. VLC media player is a powerful tool for you. Using its multiply functions, it will take more convenience to you.
