Compared with Blu-ray, there is no doubt
that DVD still take the dominant position with much bigger market share in the
video field. If you are out of home or office, you are unlikely to watch your
favorite DVD collections since DVDs are only able to be played on computer and
DVD players. However, there are many prominent devices which are more suitable
for watching movies whenever you want and wherever you go nowadays. So if you
want to take your favorite DVD movies along with you, you just need to rip and
convert them to your devices. Under this circumstance, DVD ripper comes out in response
of this need to enrich users’ video life.
In
recent years, DVD ripper has been developed to be more and more versatile and
powerful. A good DVD ripper must come with an intuitive UI designation, if it
is complicated to users with many confused option, it can’t be considered as a
good DVD ripper. Plus, a good DVD must be equipped with a powerful processing
engine to complete a DVD conversion quickly. If a DVD ripper requests you to
wait a long period of time, I don’t think many users will prefer to it. At
last, a good DVD ripper must keep the original video and audio quality
maximally. If you wait several hours or even less than 10 minutes in an ideal
situation, but only get an inferior output video, I don’t think you will be
pleased.

The
difference between the free edition and the paid edition determines the
limitation of WinxDVD Ripper. This application is only able to copy some old
DVDs, and the newest DVDs and Disney movies are not supported. Similar to this,
the newest devices are not collected in its profile bank, so you can only enjoy
the limited output videos formats and devices.

degradation. According to the test, the original 6.60 GB DVD disc can be
