ratDVD can help you transport your homemade DVD

Recently, I heard about an awesome free DVD sharing software: ratDVD. ratDVD allows you to make a direct copy of a unencrypted DVD into a single file that is only around 1 GB in size. The file retains all DVD characteristics, including contents, video, audio, subtitles, navigation, and others (see Why use ratDVD?). The resulting file can be played back on your computer media player or burned back onto a real DVD disc to be played on your DVD player.

While the rest of the movie industry is afraid that this software will be used for ripping and pirating commercial movies, I'm thinking that is a great invention for home DV producers. Why do I think that?

For one, ratDVD allows you to compress an entire DVD down to a single 1 GB file. It'll be easy to transport and duplicate. When authoring your home vacation or aspired movie on DVD, I'm sure you wanted to share it with all your family and friends. Instead of burning individual DVD's and mail them all over the world, you can use ratDVD to create a single distributable file. You can distribute the file by having your family or friends download the single file over the internet. They can either play it on their computer or burn it onto their own DVD. Isn't that convenient.

Your parents will no longer need to wait for days on your wedding DVD that you mailed out. The ratDVD is a win for everyone making digital videos.
