Like Handbrake, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum has a bunch of options you can select in terms of output quality, effects and so on or you can leave it as is. My DVD was ripped in just under 6 minutes while I was writing this part of the tutorial. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum gets the job done very quickly.

If your DVD is encrypted, which many are, you will need a couple of extra files to enable Handbrake to work. For basic ripping, you don’t need to change any of these settings. You can select output quality, specify web optimized video, add filters, subtitles, remove chapters, add chapters and a ton of other stuff.

Handbrake has a lot of tweaking you can do when ripping. Much depends on what video quality you select and how new your computer is.


It also makes short work of decrypting and ripping DVDs which is why it is here.ĭon’t worry, the issue with malware being included in Handbrake has been addressed and the program is now safe to use. It is light, free and works on both Windows and Mac. Handbrake began as a Github project and grew into a legit piece of software to convert DVDs.
