Introduction

While a CD ripper is commonly used for copying raw digital audio from a CD to a file encoded in mp3 or other audio formats, a DVD ripper is usually used for copying the audio and video content of a DVD to a file encoded in mp4, mpg or other video formats. The ripped file saves in a hard disk or other media device for further editing, backup, sharing or playback without the need to load a DVD. If you have a collection of DVD movies or music videos and want to extract a chapter or make a full backup copy from a DVD to a video file in selected format, these are the free DVD rippers you might be looking for. |

Despite the slow speeds it transcodes at using the CPU to do the job, the transcoded video is surprisingly good quality for the amount of time it takes to rip. However, if you have a graphics driver installed that supports Open GL, it will take a rather small fraction of time to transcode the content. The latest version 0.9.3 integrates the latest improvements to the H.264 encoding library with enhanced picture quality, speed optimizations and supports better control over multiple audio tracks. The program supports output formats including mp4, m4v, mkv, avi and ogm. |

It is slightly confusing to use the program to start off with as there isn't a rip button. Rather, you click the 'back up' button and then it will bring up a prompt asking you where to save the files on the DVD. After that you just click OK and off it goes ripping the files to your hard disk. DVD Shrink offers built-in decryption algorithms and shrinking the content from your original DVD to fit into a single recordable DVD-R or CD-R disk by re-authoring and/or re-encoding. On the downside, this program is no more supported by the developer. |

I believe there is a difference between DVD Decrypters and DVD Rippers?
I have tried DVD Decrypters and they copy the DVD structure onto the hard disk without any change in format. Whereas, DVD Rippers have the capability to convert the VOB files to some other video format.

Please remember the difference between a DVD Ripper and a DVD Encoder.. as there is a big difference..
Handbrake is both a ripper and a encoder
DVD Shrink is a DVD Ripper
DVD Decrypter is a DVD Ripper

IObit Security 360 is in beta at the moment, and gives a lot of false positives. Best is to check with virus total, or MBAM/SAS.
