Things to Keep In Mind When Selecting DVD Ripper

  1. Should not take too long – Certainly, the speed of a DVD ripper depends on the performance of the software and systems configuration. The faster the processor, quicker the encoding. However, if a tool takes more than 15 minutes to convert DVD to MP4 with an average speed of 25FPS+ avoid considering it.
  2. Quality should not be compromised – If the conversion software is unable to remove copy protections like bad titles, CSS, fake titles, etc then it means it is not a powerful DVD ripper. Furthermore, if the quality is being compromised after encoding, then too it is not the right choice.
  3. Converted MP4 should not be large – Generally size of a DVD is somewhere between 4-7 GB depending on the quality. In simple words, smaller the size lowers the quality but this doesn’t mean if a DVD ripper is producing a large file it is best. The best DVD ripper is one that can decrypt files following the latest DVD titles.

Well, now that we know what a DVD Ripper should offer. Let us learn how to convert DVDs to MP4. But which tool should we use? Is there a converter tool that can provide fast speed, quality, and smaller size all at the same time?
