Fr. Corapi & The Catholic Catechism

Since I'll be joining the Catholic Church and be starting catechism classes in the fall, I've decided to get a head start. Fr. John Corapi has a great series on DVD and CD on the catechism.

A few months ago I purchased his entire DVD series, along with the Questions and Answers series. In all, there of 6 DVDs for the catechism and 2 DVDs for the Q&A. The catechism series takes about 50 hours to watch. To that you can easily add another 12 hours for the Q&A DVD's.

While the DVDs are nice to watch, I also enjoy just listening to his lectures. I searched the internet and found a free software program that rips out the sound from DVDs and creates mp3s. This is perfect for me as I can rip the DVDs, then put on my Creative Zen iPod.

This is not a quick process, as you must manually start the process for each track on each DVD. There are about 9 tracks on average for each DVD. Thus far I've ripped the first DVD and have copied to my iPod. I'm in the process of doing disk 2. If I do a little each day I should finish the process in about a week. Then I've have the best of both worlds - the full DVD series and all the lectures in mp3 format.
