Step 1 Load DVD files

When you launch the program, click Load DVD to choose Load DVD Disc, Load DVD ISO, or Load DVD Folder from the three dots options.

Rip DVD to digital format

If you want to rip DVD to the digital format, select Rip to Video/Audio and choose the output format at the upper right side of the program next to Rip All.

We recommend you the format for the output is MPG Lossess, for it will keep the original quality and subtitle and audio tracks of the DVD file.

Also, you can convert DVD to other video or audio formats for playback, such as MP4, MOV, WMV, MP3, and so on. To do this, you can select the output format from the drop-down menu of the output.

Tips: You can choose the output format for each title to rip every title into a different format. But you can’t maintain all the DVD subtitles, audio tracks, and quality with the ripping speed.

Tips: if you want to apply the editing effects, you should choose other formats rather than MPG Lossless, because it will provide you with more benefits.

Trim & Split Video

The main interface might be too long for you to play, but you can just use the trim feature. First, you can create a new segment, split one long file into two, copy and create a new segment again. Dividing one video file into several clips on average will be better for your video editing, and DVD Ripper will help you do so. You can just click the Save button at the bottom right to finish the split.
