WD TV HD Media Player How-To Part II

Ripping the DVD to a local hard drive

This is a continuation of my previous post.

In this step we use AnyDVD to copy a DVD to a local hard drive.

- Right click on the http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html icon in your task bar (looks like a fox) and select Rip Video DVD to Harddisk:

You should see this screen:

- Select your source and destination directories

- Click the Copy button

Once the copy is complete you should see the following folder structure
E:\VALKYRIE\VIDEO_TS
The VIDEO_TS folder is what you’ll use as your source for transcoding the video in the next step.

**You could also do this directly from the DVD instead of copying it locally.**
