Most of us probably have a favorite CD/DVD or two. Chances are, these media are the ones getting scratch badly due to use and abuse. I have a couple of DVDs with scratches thanks to my kids and their love for Disney/Pixar movies. Assente gives us a short run-down of the available software to rip and encode CD/DVDs along with its advantages and disadvantages. YMMV, of course, so I urge you to try them out.
