I stumbled upon a great way to copy an entire DVD movie with just a single click. There are many online tutorials to guide you through the process but sometimes they really don’t work or very complicated.

But with VLC media player, you can record and rip an entire DVD with no hassles or even knowledge of softwares.

VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac …) as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols

Lets Start ….

1. First download and install VLC media player, ( Its free I promise)
2. Run the software > Go to View > Advanced Controls.
3. You will notice a record button near the play and pause buttons.
4. Start the DVD > Hit Play Then > Click Record.

5. After the movie is finished the recorded video is in MPEG format and stored them in the Documents folder labeled as VLC Record with the date and time.

This is a great way to record and save specific scenes only, you don’t have to record the entire movie if you don’t want to. Just pick the scene then click record.
