Ripping is the process of copying audio or video content to a hard disk, typically from removable media such as compact disc (CD) or DVD, although the word refers to all forms of media. Despite the name, neither the media nor the data is damaged after extraction. Ripping is often used to shift formats, and to edit, duplicate or back up media content. Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) is a more formal phrase applied to the ripping of audio CDs. A rip is the copied content, in its destination format, along with accompanying files (such as a cue sheet or log file from the ripping software).
Ripping is distinct from simple file copying, in that the source audio or video often isn't originally formatted for ease of use in a computer file system; ripping such data usually involves reformatting it and optionally compressing it during the extraction process.
The source material being ripped doesn't need to be digital; ripping can involve digitizing audio and video originally stored on analog formats, such as vinyl records.
Ripping is the stage that people, mainly body builders, go through in order to lose body fat to a very low percentage. The idea is that if ones body fat is low, then muscle tissue will be more visible and therefore a better looking body will emerge.
The ripping process usually occurs once a year for those who participate in body building. In the stage of ripping, there is a change in diet and exercise in order to maintain muscle mass and, at the same time, lose a significant amount of body fat. It is the stage that body builders do not often look forward to, as it means giving up the food and drink that they enjoy in order to reach their desired change in body shape and definition. Also it may mean an increase or decrease in particular desired training routines. The ripping stage takes as long as a person wishes it to be. However, when body fat reaches such low levels, it becomes dangerous, which is why body builders don't usually continue with this process all year round. Most body builders spend on average around 12–16weeks of ripping.
