Magic DVD Ripper 8.2.0

Magic DVD Ripper is a powerful application that allows you to both back up (copy) a DVD movie and convert it into a video file. The program offers you several advanced options, like splitting a DVD-9 movie into two DVD-5 discs or compressing a DVD-9 movie to fit on a single DVD-5 disc. Moreover, the program can remove all modern DVD restrictions, so that you can copy/back up virtually any disc.

Despite the advanced functions and the amount of presets provided, Magic DVD Ripper is very intuitive and easy to use. Firstly, you should start by selecting the source and destination discs/folders. The program can read the information from both a physical disc and a DVD folder. Next, you can select the action you want to perform with your source movie. To do this, the program offers you two sections: "Backup" and "Convert".

In the "Backup" section you can select any one of the three actions available – "Copy disc fully", to make a complete 1:1 copy; "Copy main movie", to let the program recognize and copy only the main movie on your disc (e.g., to remove trailers or other unwanted portions of your disc), and "Split DVD-9 into two DVD-5 discs". Optionally, you can also enable an option to compress a DVD movie to fit on a single-layer disc.

The "Convert" section of the program, on the other hand, allows you to select the title on the source DVD you want to convert, its audio and subtitle tracks, and the angle (if available). You can also select multiple titles to be converted at once. Next, you can select the output profile, the split mode, and a file name for your converted video file.

The program includes a lot of output presets that allow you to make any DVD movie compatible with such portable devices as iPhones, iPads, Samsung mobile phones, tablets, and MP4 players. However, there are also general-purpose output profiles, like AVI and WMV. You can even select the "MP3" profile to extract the audio stream from your DVD movies. Anyway, the program comes with its own profile editor that allows you to customize any parameter, such as the video resolution and quality, and to create your own profiles. Now you are ready to start the process, which you can do by simply clicking on a button.

As you can see, Magic DVD Ripper is a comprehensive DVD ripper that allows you to copy the contents of virtually any DVD movie or convert it into any popular video file format. Thanks to its ease of use, even inexpert users can make DVD movies compatible with their portable devices without too much trouble.
