I need to know if I can to build an Automator app for ripping DVDs (My own DVDs) I am building a library for myself on an external drive (500gigs) with all my DVD collection and I'm getting tired of doing the same again and again... Can I just use automator for that? I mean, I've never used that application but for what I know that's an application you use when you need to do the same task over and over again... please help me on that.

thanx

Basically, whatever application you're using to rip DVDs needs to provide an Automator action. Then you can select that action when building an Automator workflow.
