rip
 

What is the best and easiest ripper program to use?

What're you ripping? PSX games? I'm assuming since you did post it in the PSx 2 forum..
Use CDR win for PSX and PSX2 CD format Originals for Ripping and copying and use Clone CD for making copy of a copy for PSX and PSX2 Cd formats..For PSX2 DVD games 1:1 copy that is, use Prassi DVD which is equipped with usually A03 or A04..
I don't know anything about Actual Ripping on DVD game to CDR..
For tutorial on copying go to http://www.psxcopyworld.co.uk/
