Ripping an entire DVD

The unregistered shareware version of AoA DVD Ripper limits clips to just ten minutes. You can still rip an entire film as long as you do it chapter by chapter.

Select the title you want as normal, but at Stage 2 instead of clicking Movie Clip click Chapters. You'll be presented with a list of chapters - you may have to scroll down to see them all. Tick off the ones you want, make sure Save selected chapters into one file is selected, and press OK.

There's a trick here - you can keep on adding more chapters as long as the total time shows 10:00 minutes or less. This means that if all the chapters are exactly 10 minutes then you can actually rip 20 minutes in one go. If the total is 10 minutes or more when you click OK you'll get a warning - ignore it as long as the actual number of chapters shown is correct.

Click on Start to rip as normal, but remember to rename the output file before ripping more chapters or it'll be overwritten. And check the length of the clip as well as occasionally it stops short. When you've got them all you can play them all as a playlist or edit them into a single file.
