Why Use a DVD Ripper?

Nothing beats a front row seat in your home theater. The immersive experience of HD video with 7.1 surround sound on a big screen is about as good as it gets. But when you need to take your DVD library on the road with you, packing your entire DVD collection into your luggage just won’t do. With DVD Ripper software, you don’t need a physical DVD on hand to watch a movie.

Digitizing your DVD collection is an ideal form of insurance against damage, theft or loss. DVD rippers make DVD back up a simple matter of capturing a disc image and saving it on your hard drive. Most DVD ripping software enables you to burn DVDs too. So whether you prefer to back up your DVD collection with physical copies or with ISO image archives, a DVD ripper leaves the choice up to you.

In addition to burning DVD copies, creating DVD images and ripping video to a hard drive, DVD rippers typically function as video converters. Want to watch a WMP file on a Mac? With a video converter handy, a few mouse clicks will convert a video file from WMP to MOV. DVD converters also take the hassle out of finding the newest AVI codecs and fighting with the region codes on your laptop.

As we advance further and further into the age of HD media, DVD rippers are increasingly compatible with Blu-ray. Leading programs are also Blu-ray burners and rippers.
Whether you’re backing up your media library or burning home movies to Blu-ray, this site is designed to help you find the right software. You’ll find articles, FAQs, news and in-depth reviews of leading DVD ripping software to inform your decision.
