In the course of this article, you will learn how to use WinX DVD Ripper to rip copy-protected DVD for free. Meanwhile, let me summarise why you need to rip/convert your DVD.

First off, ripping your DVD will save you some shelves space. Secondly, in order for you not to lose your DVD collections, you may want to rip and convert it by creating a copy of it elsewhere(E.g on your hard drive or USB). Another valid reason is the need to have your videos in various video file formats.

Consequently, converting your DVD to other video formats would enable you to watch them on various devices.

What are the best DVD rippers?

When it comes to ripping a DVD, two products come to mind. The first one is handbrake and the second is WinX DVD Ripper by Digiarty Software. Handbrake is cheaper and less featured-packed when it comes to ripping a DVD video. With WinX Ripper, you get a whole lot more for the token you pay. Luckily, they are currently running a giveaway which means you can actually, use all the full features for free.

Warning: It is of the essence to check the intellectual property laws in your own country before starting to rip DVDs. there are varying levels of permission from different governments regarding the legality of ripping a DVD. Fortunately, and Digiarty Software guide to determining what is legal and what is not when ripping videos.

Besides, even if it is legal in your territory, it will only be for personal use, research or possibly educational purposes.

Wikipedia defines Ripping as the extracting of all or parts of digital contents from a container. Originally it meant to rip music out of Amiga games. Later the term was used to extract WAV or MP3format files from digital audio CDs, but got applied as well to extract the contents of any media, most notably DVD and Blu-ray discs.

What does handbrake lacks that WinX DVD Ripper has?

1. WinX DVD Ripper will rip a DVD in 9min 30secs at 355 frames per second, maintain 98 percent quality and leave a 1.24GB file. By contrast, handbrake can only rip at 297 frames per second, takes 11 and a half minutes to rip, only maintains 70 percent quality and leaves a massive 6GB file. The test is done on a Windows 10 pc, see image below
2. Secondly, WinX DVD Ripper can rip all kinds of DVDs including some pretty sophisticated DRM protected DVDs like Disney DVDs without third party apps. Handbrake, on the other hand, can only rip unprotected and non- encrypted DVDs.
3. Thirdly, WinX ripper is capable of fully hardware accelerated speed, in high quality and with a lower end result file size. The same cannot be said of handbrake.
4. Fourthly, handbrake only owns two containers: MKV and MP4 while Winx DVD Ripper can embrace All Types of DVDs.
5. In addition to the above strengths of WinX, WinX DVD Ripper is also able to rip damaged DVDs, special Japanese DVDs, plus region-free 99-title DVDs . This feature is lacking in Handbrake.
6. Also, WinX DVD Ripper doesn’t require extra add-ons to run. By contrast, Handbrake does. Yet WinX is able to offer over 210 file types to output to, where Handbrake only offers MP4, MKV and sometimes M4V.
