How can I rip a DVD-ROM? What software should I use?

[Ross11]

I bought a book for self-teaching piano that came with a dvd-rom disc with .wma audio and .wmv video files for all the exercises in the book and it said you could rip it with a media player to play the files with an mp3 player while practicing, store the videos on a hard drive etc.

I can't figure out how to rip the files. I tried copy and paste but the files don't work after that. I managed to create an iso with imgburn and I can play the files if I mount it to daemon tools but if I try extract from the iso they don't work.

.wma, .wmv are Microsfot-proprietary audio and video formats. If you can copy files off the DVD, then you need a program to convert these into .mp3 and whatever video format your player supports (Handbrake is good tool for that)

Figured out a way to make it work with simple copy & paste. No file alterations needed. Thanks for the help and suggestions though.
