Ripping
Ripping (also referred to as digital audio extraction) is the process of copying the audio or video data from one media form, such as DVDHD DVDBlu-ray or CD, to a hard disk. While the original media is typically digital, the extraction of analog media such as VHS video or vinyl records to a digital format can also be referred to as "ripping". To conserve storage space, the copied data is usually encoded in a compressed format such as MP3WMAFLAC or Ogg Vorbis for audio, or MPEG-2MPEG-4DivXXviD or Ogg Theora for video.
