Online streaming service has become the mainstream over the past few years. Old-fashioned DVD disc is overshadowed by this prevailing multimedia carrier. Yet, this doesn’t mean that DVD disc is completely replaced by online streaming service. To be more specific, the market position of DVD has changed from mainstream to margin.
What goes around surely will come around. It’s DVD’s turn. Currently, with the rising inflationary pressure, some users, if not all, choose to cut down the unnecessary entertainment costs. Among them, online streaming service subscription bears the brunt. They cancel the redundant service subscriptions, save only one service or even unsubscribe all the services to reduce expenditure. Instead, they regain the old-fashioned yet money-saving entertainment way – DVD.
DVD is good but the downside is plain as plain can be. The fabulous movies are trapped on the plastic disc. You can’t watch DVD movies or TV shows anywhere anytime unless you digitize DVD collection to MP4 MOV H264, etc. modern digital format. That’s where DVD ripper comes for.
WinX DVD Ripper can digitize DVD to MP4, MOV, AVI, VOB, MKV, etc. modern formats playable on any iPhone iPad, Android, Windows, Mac or smart TV without DVD drive or DVD player. One of this DVD ripper’s greatest talent is the ability to remove any protection from DVD disc. Thus, any of your DVD disc can be successfully detected and analyzed irrespective of homemade DVD, damaged/unplayable DVD, 99-title DVD, bad sector DVD, workout/AV DVD.
WinX also acquits itself extremely well in DVD ripping speed. Its developer team knows how painful it is to spend seemingly forever ripping a DVD disc. Thus, they constantly improve DVD conversion speed and apply the advanced GPU hardware acceleration to elevate DVD digitizing speed up to 47x real-time faster and 5X faster than its competitor. Thus, a full DVD disc can be smoothly ripped within 5 minutes! You can have a free trial here.
How to Use WinX DVD Ripper to Digitize Your DVD Collection?
First things first: WinX DVD Ripper does not advocate ripping copy-protected DVDs for any commercial purpose and suggests referring to the DVD copyright laws in your countries before doing so.
Step 1. Download and install WinX DVD Ripper.
The application is available on Windows 10/11/8.1/8/7. Free download and follow the installation instructions to install it on your Windows PC. Then check if your computer has the built-in DVD drive. If not, try an external DVD drive instead.
Step 2. Load DVD disc.
Load the DVD disc by clicking the DVD Disc button. Meanwhile, it also supports ISO image and Video_TS folder as input format.
Step 3. Choose MP4 as output format.
If you want to play DVD movies anywhere anytime, it’s better to convert DVD to MP4 digital format.
Choose MP4 (H264) as the resulting format on the pop-up output profile window.
- To watch DVD on any device/platform: Go to General Profiles and choose MP4 Video as the output format.
- To enjoy DVD content on the go: take the iPhone 13 Pro as an example, go to Apple Device and click on to iPhone Video, and then choose iPhone 13/Pro/Max (H.264). The same steps can be applied to rip DVD movie to PS4, PS5, Xbox, iPad, Android device, etc.
- To 1:1 backup DVD to computer: go to DVD Backup Profile, and click on the DVD Backup option. You’ll be greeted with 4 copy modes (Main Title Content Copy, Full title copy, Clone DVD to ISO Image, clone DVD to folder). Opt for one mode grounded on your needs.
Step 4. Adjust DVD settings.
Unlike backing up DVDs, digitizing DVDs to MP4 allows you to adjust the audio and video parameters. Simply click on the gear-shaped Settings button, and you can upscale the DVD resolution from 480p to 720p HD, change frame rate, aspect ratio or bit rate, or adjust the audio settings. Assuming you don’t need settings adjustment, ignore this step.
Optionally, basic video editing features can be achieved in this DVD ripper software like trimming out the FBI DVD warning clip, cut the wordy introduction part from movie, cropping the video frame size to adapt to different screens, adding external subtitles for your foreign DVD, etc.
Moreover, shift your attention to the lower right corner of the main screen, where you can see the GPU hardware accelerator auto ticked (if your computer supports GPU hardware acceleration, too), or manually enable the High Quality Engine and Safe Mode options to ensure smooth DVD ripping without quality degradation.
Step 5. Begin digitizing DVD disc.
Hit the RUN button to activate DVD to MP4 ripping after you select a destination folder for saving output MP4 file. This process will not take much time and once finished you’ll be able to see the ripped DVD in the output folder.
