Rip it Good

Rip content from your personal DVDs with ease...and just for fun, try the joiner file to combo those files you grabbed off of Usenet and you'd like to make whole again.
Here are two bonuses: use Virtual Dub, perhaps the greatest freeware program EVER for working with video files, to pull everything together. And check out Agent, it is by far the best program to pull in the Usenet content they don't want you to see.
