I create temp iso's as they are one file and easier to clean up and less likely to get mixed up when doing multiple rips. My opinion, preference. I would much rather have back the ability to rip directly from the disk. No, I have not tried ripping to a folder. ThanksDoes it work if, you don't create an iso, but access the folder instead? Hint: Avoid creating isos of DVDs with AnyDVD ripper. Rip to folder instead.
