ripping encrypted dvds

For personal use, I need to rip encrypted DVDs and then copy them VHS tape.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a program that will accomplish this?

Awesome Donkey:
Simply put, there's AnyDVD (a paid application), DVDFab (I believe there's both a free and paid application) or MakeMKV (free for DVDs) for ripping encrypted DVDs. MakeMKV is what I use, but it won't rip an image of a DVD, meaning no menus are anything like that, just the movie content itself (and bonus features, ripped as separate files).

As for copying ripped DVDs to VHS... not even sure this is possible (or feasible for that matter) as I've never heard of anyone trying to do this. I would imagine it's not easy, time consuming and to be honest kinda pointless, in my opinion.

twotinears:
Thanks for the suggestions.  Converting to VHS is an odd project but my brother, who has some limitations, refuses to use DVDs.  I am trying to figure out how to get more up to date movies for him to watch.

Once I get an unprotected DVD I propose to play it on a DVD player connected to the VCR via SVideo cable.

You are over complicating things. Get a dvd player with rca out, get a vcr with rca in, plug the dvd player into the vcr, play the dvd and press record on the vcr. Basically the same way you record vhs to vhs.

An important thing to remember when recording to vhs is to run out of tape before the movie is finished. That way the viewer can make up their own ending in their imagination. It's also a good idea to splice in some old horrible commercials, they are usually more entertaining than the film. The final secret to recording vhs is to skip a 15 minute section in the middle of the film.

Good luck.
