Ripping a DVD to post it on here?

[kokomojoe]

Didn't know exactly where to post this so feel free to move it. So I have the DVD Who is Bozo Texino, it's a really great flick with some good shots of trainhopping and some of the famous moniker artists such as Bozo Texino, Herby, Collosus of Roads, The Rambler, and others. You can read an overview of it here: http://www.billdaniel.net/who-is-bozo-texino/

I just want to know:
-the best way to download it to my PC, lifehacker has a decent tutorial with programs to download but I'd rather hear someone's input on other methods
-the best file type to convert it to, .mov I'm assuming?
-the best spot to upload it where it won't get taken down. I'm guessing a google drive link would be best and then use whatever media player comes with your device to watch it

It's a really good movie and I think deserves to be shared so let me know if you can help with figuring this out, thanks.

okay, so if you want to rip the movie from the dvd into a file, use handbrake. make sure to convert it to an mp4 in h.264 format (not .mov).

as for hosting, i'd put it up on mega.nz for now. it's free and you get 50gb of storage. i wouldn't recommend google drive since they'll take down the file if they notice a ton of people are downloading it.

i'll download it from mega.nz and keep a local copy in case it gets taken down; i can re-up it if that happens. once you have it uploaded to mega, you can add it to the StP library using the share link from mega.

hope that helps, and if you have any questions let me know.

Right on thanks. I'll try to get around to it within this week when I'm not busy.

So I got the file converted into an mp4 in handbrake but mega.nz seems to not be working too well for me

EDIT: Nevermind it's uploading, just taking forever because of the size of the file, will post as soon as possible

 

[Matt Derrick]

How big is the file?

 

[kokomojoe]

How big is the file?

It's 1.4gb

It's 1.4gb

Oh okay, yeah that's pretty reasonable for a DVD rip. Will definitely take a min to upload.
