[QUOTE="ACate, post: 2642896, member: 884357"] A few points on your question: 1. you can't rip DVDs to HD, because DVDs do not come in HD. 2. 'preferably doesn't take too long' - DVD transcoding depends on your computer hardware, not the software. If you have a low-power processor, it will take several times longer to complete a transcode than it would if you have a brand new high-end processor. All the software in the world won't be able to get around this limitation. 3. WMV is probably the worst possible container format you could rip to. -- That said, I recommend Handbrake. It will rip your DVDs or BRDs to either MP4 or MKV (both of them are great formats), with a ton of variable settings that you can tweak to make sure you have as good a rip as you can manage.
