DVD Rip
DVD ripping is the process of copying audio or video content from a DVD onto a computer hard drive. A DVD ripper program has an encoder to compress the source media and reduce the size of the file it stores on the hard disk.
Person 1: yoo dude I got a DVD rip of the "Video Hits '86 to '96"
Person 2: i don't care
Person 1: it has Rick Astley!
Person 2: oh actually nevermind ok!!

DVDRip
A multimedia file that contains content sourced from a DVD.
To make a DVDRip, you need to copy the main movie of the DVD to your hard drive, and then re-encode it to reduce size. DVDRips are usually AVI files, with MPEG 4 ASP video and mp3 audio (such files are usually called "Divx" files). DVDRips are always standard definition, and some times even lower than that.
Since DVDRips use a video format that's superior to the one the source uses (MPEG 4 ASP vs MPEG 2 of the DVD), it's possible to dramatically reduce the size of the rip compared to the original.
If you are willing to compromise quality and detail, you can reduce the size even further, often reaching into such small sizes as 700MB (1/10 of the original), but quality will be rather low.
A good quality DVDrip of your usual hollywood movie is 1~1,2GB in size, while 700MB~800MB is a rip of rather poor quality.
DVDRips are arguably the no1 method of piracy and the easiest way to download a movie from the internet. Also, since DVDrips are Divx files, they can play on all Divx capable DVD players, making them an even bigger pain in the back for greedy hollywood studios.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
