The last app on the list, DVDFab, may seem a bit out of date, as there hasn't been a new version for over a year now, but it's still a reliable suite of applications that can rip from DVDs and Blu-rays. I admit, it sounds a bit complicated, but if you want my advice, simply use this tool together with VLC and you can rip any DVD that you want for free. You' will need an additional tool to do the ripping and DRM cracking and use Handbrake for the video encoding part of the process, but you won't regret it. OK, Handbrake for Mac isn't exactly a DVD ripper, but it's one of the best tools to have at hand when you're ripping DVDs as this application is a truly great consumer-grade video encoder. Also, I was really impressed with this application's processing speed: that's quite a big plus.

Additionally, MakeMKV is capable of preserving tracks, HD audio, chapters, menu and all the other source disc information. There are several advantages of using this tool, but the best thing is that the output files can have a really high quality. If you're interested, you can download the trial version of MacX DVD Ripper Pro and check its nifty features by yourself.Īs its name states, MakeMKV is an application that will help you rip DVDs and Blu-ray disks and turn them into MKV videos. Additional advantages include numerous output profiles, batch processing capabilities, 1:1 copying abilities and an audio extraction tool.

The thing most people like about this app is its video editing capabilities, which provide some basic, yet handy features like image cropping, video trimming, adjusting the audio volume, adding subtitles, etc. This application is capable of ripping from DVDs and ISO images, while also allowing you to convert the videos into a wide array of formats that are compatible with lots of devices like iPods, PSPs, etc.
