Ripping

Ripping refers to the process of copying or extracting the content from a media source, such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray, onto a computer's storage. This allows you to access, play, or edit the content without needing the original disc. Ripping typically involves using specialized software to bypass the disc’s protections, converting the media into digital files like MP3s, MP4s, or other formats. It’s commonly used to create digital backups or to organize media libraries. However, it’s important to ensure that ripping is legal in your jurisdiction and respects content copyrights.
