“Eli, how do I rip DVD’s?”

This the question I get asked most at school. And often, I will try to explain, but as I do, I can tell they just get lost. Maybe I’m just no good at talking. Maybe these people need me to hold their hands and just show them how to do it. Wait. That sounds pretty good. Lets do that.

• A DVD
• Handbrake
• DVD Decrypter
