What is the best and easiest program (Free preferably) to convert movie DVDs that I own (Even copy protected ones) into high quality mkv files (or other video files) onto my PC for private use.
Thanks in advance!

google broken? Try handbrake. https://www.wikihow.com/Rip-Dvd-Movi...v-by-Handbrake
obviously this is to be used for stuff you own, no copyright infringements/piracy etc. Bypassing copy protection is presumably illegal somewhere along the line and not something I think the mods here tolerate discussion of.

That was a waste of time

Is that officially written in law now? I recall it being proposed but is it now on the statute books or whatever the phrase is?
No apparently, it was repealed, should have read from the start rather than jumping half way down the page.

Yeah I checked google and it gives a tone of results and I have no time to check each one to find the best, so if anyone that has actually used them and meet the above criteria, let me know thanks!
Tried handbrake, it does not support copy protected discs

this list might help maybe? https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/th...ree-dvd-ripper
I’ve successfully use makemkv. The only problem is it’s not always obvious which is the main stream. Stuff like monsters university has multiple big streams where they’ve done localisation of some of the university signs. Doesn’t really bother me but it’s something my kids have watched over and over again so if you have OCD it could wind you up. í ½í¹‚
Handbrake.
Handbrake works brilliantly for DVD's... pretty straightforward once you set it up. (Google for how to...)
MakeMKV is great if you want the original source files. Can use this, then downsize the files with Handbrake afterwards.

In my now-ex mod role, I can very unofficiallly clarify what my previous Admin role would have said about that :-Originally Posted by ik9000
Okay - discussion of and about pirating, copying protected software, video, audio, etc
NOT Okay - advice, how-to's, links to or advocacy of, breaking laws. Pretty much any laws, but certainly those.
There is, however, in my definitely unqualified legal opinion, a difference between illegal and unlawful.
Copying copy-right protected material, at least in the UK (it varies elsewhere) is 'unlawful'. Do it, non-commercially, and at most you get sued.
But do the same thing as part of a business, or break copy-protecting measures to do so, and (as I understand it) you break criminal laws are risking getting prosecuted, not just (unlikely) suing.
No doubt an actual mod can clarify, and probably will, but that's what I would have said back when it was my role to say it.

OP mentions copy protected DVDs so they couldn't copy these.

No it's not mate, that was the exact page that I quoted last night, and then I read at the top of the page this :
The private copying exception, explained below, was first introduced in the UK on 1 October 2014 by the Copyright and Rights in Performance (Personal Copies for Private Use) Regulations. However, following a judicial review filed against the UK government, on 17 July 2015 the High Court quashed the regulations introducing the exception. As a result, the private copying exception is no longer part of UK copyright law, and the commentary below no longer represents the current state of the law on private copying.
The government has said it will take time to consider whether and how a new exception for private copying should be introduced. Should a new legislative solution be adopted, we will update this page accordingly.

ahhh thanks. Ill delete my comments, and I hope no-one will supply the OP wilh any illegal procedures...
Cheers, David
I find it strange they would leave that article there, as I am sure many have made the same mistake
