Thread: Can you save a DvD on your computer?

Like, my little brother wants to make AMV's of his favorite show Zatch Bell.
He asked me to help him find a place to download it- but I can't without having to pay money or the site having excessive pop-ups, scams, tests, and I'm sure viruses.

So I was wondering, if I can buy the Season DvD's of the show Zatch Bell and save them on my computer so I can use them in WMM (Windows Movie Maker)? I was thinking if that's possible, it would be best because I actually bought the DvD's so I would own them, and the money would still go to the company.

*if you can, then what's the best way to make them so I can actually use them on WMM? The best format? And how do I do that? Do I just put the DvD in there and search for something?

*note- if my little brother does use and/or make AMV's, I will make sure he puts credits to the people that own the show (I think it's Shoenen or something like that- actually I might be completely off but I'll search it :] ) Thanks!

handbrake is a great program for ripping DVD (free)

works great with iTunes (100x better than windows media)
