Hello Kliph,
No, WinFF is not a DVD ripping program. There are a couple free programs for ripping DVDS that I have used in the past and work well with JAWS. One is DVD Shrink and the other is DVDFab HD Encrypter. DVD Shrink offers compression but the free version of DVDFab does not compress files. Neither of the programs will burn the created DVD folders back to a DVD so you would have to also have DVD burning software. The paid version of DVDFab DVD to DVD has both compression and burning capabilities. The latest version of DVD Shrink was released a few years ago and works well with XP 32-bit Windows, but I don't know how it works with Vista or Windows 7. I don't think there should be a problem running it in those versions of Windows. It will likely at least run in compatibility mode but I don't think that is necessary. Write me at the Email address shown below if you want to get more info on those two programs. They can be used with JAWS but the JAWS cursor needs to be used quite a bit. Take care.

I haven't used Goldwave and so I am not familiar with its converting operations. A lot of people on this list use Goldwave, and if it is working for you then you might not need to change. I will leave the program in my drop box for a couple days so feel free to download it and try it out if you want to. You can easily uninstall it using add/remove programs in XP or Programs and Features in Vista or Windows 7. Have a great rest of the long weekend! Take care.

I have been using goldwave to convert videos to audio, and it is fine, but, if this is eayser; Cool!!!.
