Best Answer

The term "Ripping" refers to taking audio or audio-visual material from a CD or DVD and copying it onto your computer.

When you tell Windows Media Player to "Rip" something it will then copy whatever you have selected from your CD or DVD onto your computer so that you no longer need to place it into the computer's CD or DVD drive to watch/listen to it.

It means copy data (usually songs) from a CD/DVD to your computer's hard drive (or any sort of mass storage device). To rip a DVD to your computer, you should need a DVD ripping software.
