There are several programs that allow you to copy DVD movies onto your computer so that you can watch them directly from the computer disc or hard drive. The best free ones are DVD Shrink, DVDFab, and DVD Decrypter. They are quite simple and straightforward. I would recommend DVD Decrypter if you are not sure about what you are doing.
On the Mac, a program called MacTheRipper works very well and is free (you can find it on versiontracker.com).
Removing copy protection from DVDs, or distributing ripped DVDs is illegal.
I use a DVD ripper which can rip DVD to video formats like avi, mp4,wmv,mov,flv,etc and convert DVD to audio files like mp3,aac, wma,m4a. you can download to have a try by clicking the related link for my answer.

In terms of CDs and DVDs, 'Rip' means extract content. In this case, 'to rip a CD' means to copy the content to the computer and save it there. The application 'DVD Rip' does just that.
we use DVD magic ripper .
you will IF you share that with dozens of others on the web. home use...probably not
Absolutely. Any DVD ripping program, such as DVDFab, will do the trick.
Yes you need to rip them to iTunes, keep in mind it's going to ask you about license rights yahda yahda. Depending on the ipod you have, if you can veiw videos on your Ipod then you can rip DVDs to your itunes software and import it that way.
I do not know what you mean by DVD extras. Your Mac comes with iDVD which can be used to rip DVDs.
You have to rip the DVD's first before you can play them.
It depends.some dvds have copyright so you couldn't rip them.But I can rip my DVD to my itouch.Good luck.Ripping commercial DVD is illegal in most countries,but rip copyright-free and home made DVD is OK.
No. Windows Vista does not contain any software to copy or convert commercial DVDs. You will need to download or purchase another program to copy DVDs.
The program HandBrake is an excellent tool for ripping video from DVDs. It can be downloaded here:http://handbrake.fr/index.php
