I'm new to this, but I'm trying to rip my home collection of DVDs to a new western digital media player which connects to a USB device (e.g. external 1TB HD).

Any suggestions as to how to do this? What DVD rip software should I get which will work best to get the sound/picture?

Thanks!

Check tucows.com for some software to rip it in the format you want. On the DVD it is so the DVD player can read it. SO you need to use a DVD ripper. I use AVS Media for a lot of my stuff

I second the DVDFAB as the recommendation. Very nice software that will convert to just about any format/codec and for any device you want. It even has settings for ipod, Nintendo DS, and various media players. If you don't need the "special modes", the basic program that rips to an VOBs I think is free. You can choose to only "rip" basically just copying the DVD to your hard drive or to recompress.
Personally, I rip to VOBs first (it is fast - 6 or 7 minutes per DVD), then over holidays, I set all the computers in my home to compressing down to 1GB avi files using xvid.

Good luck
