An amazing (and amazingly-expensive) DVD ripper. Can work with other disks.
I've used this to back up my old DVD discs into .iso files.
- 2024-07-10 - I don't know where I put this, so I'll replace it with Tipard DVD Ripper
2017-09-18 - 9.1.9.5 (28/03/2015) ∞
Testing with DVD ripping to a .iso file.
- I hate software that opens up web pages while it installs. That's creepy.
- It opens the copy tab to start, and switching to another tab takes time, because it's re-reading some part of the same disk.
- I have to click the left-hand "MP4" icon to get a list of types of files to choose between. That's not obvious.
- I guess what I want is VOB. From there I can use some other program to make a .iso
-
I don't know where the temp files are kept, so I don't know if I'll run out of drive space on
C:.- I checked, and it is
C:\Users\user\Documents\DVDFab9\Video\DISK_NAME - There is supposed to be a way to set this, but there doesn't seem to be any configuration possible.
- Oh, I have to cancel, then finish, then at the bottom-left choose where to save it to.
- I checked, and it is
- I ripped, but it didn't do the whole thing, it just gave the first title.
-
I'll try MKV Passthrough, and I see I can
right-clickonOther Titlesin the list, andCheck All.- I don't understand why selecting any item takes time.
- I cannot move the main window when it's analyzing title information
- It feels like this title concept can be defeated by invalid title length information.
- Nope, ripping as MKV saves a bunch of separate files..

Oh, I may as well go into all the settings now.
Settings ∞
On the main interface, on the Copy tab, on the left column is a dropdown box to select the DVD format. I select DVD9. It should also say "compression 100%" .. which means its opposite. 0% compression, or true-to-source.
To get into the settings, the top-right of the program has a downward-pointing arrow. Click that, then Common Settings.

Scan one VOBU every
1VOBUs- This is important for disks which have short transition effects, for things like the THX sound before a movie starts.

The full disk copy seems to work just fine. Where the browsing of the original disc is about 8G, the rip is the expected 4G.
Alternatives ∞
