How to Rip and Upload Your Own DVDs ~ P2P Heaven

Searching for movies on torrent trackers maybe a thing you do almost everyday, and if it is, you must pass by a lot of ripping groups. These groups are a bunch of people who rip, or convert, and upload the latest releases out there on DVD. Here are a few examples of the most known ripping groups out there:

aXXo (my favorite)

DiAMOND

FXG

FxM

PUKKA

KLAXXON

ALLiANCE

These are only a few groups, but they are the best and most known DVD rippers. A quick search for any of these on MiniNova or The Pirate Bay will give you a lot of results. While these guys are the big shots of the ripping scene, there are still a lot of "unofficial" ripping groups out there that mostly work with TS and CAM releases.

The real question is: Have you ever wanted to rip your DVDs and upload them to the torrent scene? If the answer is no, I don't think that you should be reading this article, but if your answer is yes, you're at the right place. This article will show you how to rip and upload your DVDs in a user-friendly manner that even a complete idiot can understand.

I will divide this article into two parts; the first part (which is this one) will show you how to rip your DVDs to your hard drive. The second part will cover the concept of uploading your finalized movie to a torrent tracker or to RapidShare.

What You'll Need For This Tutorial:

- DVDDecrypter

- AutoGK

- Image Grabber II (used in Part 2)

- AVI2Clipboard (used in Part 2)

- WinRAR

Once you download and install all the software, you can start following my tutorial!

1. Insert your DVD movie into your computer's disc drive and open DVDDecrypter.

2. The program should automatically detect the inserted DVD. Go to Edit>Select Main Movie Files. It will select some files from the list on the right. Once this is done, click "Decrypt".

3. It should start copying your movie's VOB files to your hard drive. This should take around 5 minutes. The time it takes depends on your computer's hardware.

4. Once it's done, close it and open AutoGK.

5. For your input file, you'll need to select the IFO file copied by DVDDecrypter. As for your output, just select where you want your AVI movie to be saved.

6. Select the audio track you'd like to rip to your movie.

7. Look at your movie's length. If the length of your movie is 2 hours or longer, you'll need to rip your movie to 2 CDs . If your movie is shorter than 2 hours, you can just rip it to 1 CD.

8. Now open "Advanced Settings".

9. Make sure you have the same settings as the picture below.

10. All you have to do now is preview your movie before ripping it. To do this, just click on the "Preview" button.

11. After a minute or two, a Media Player Classic window should open with a preview of the final output quality. Just be patient.

12. Once you make sure the quality is excellent, you can add your movie to the queue by clicking on "Add Job".

13. You can now start the ripping process by clicking "Start".

The whole process should take about 2 hours, but this mostly depends on your computer's hardware. Just make sure not to touch anything during the ripping process, as there will be windows popping up that might make you think you have to close them. I recommend leaving it overnight, because by the time you wake up, it should be completed.

I will be posting the second part of this tutorial soon, so stay tuned for more exclusive posts on P2P Heaven!
