Hello Guys,
the last 3 days, I was installing DVD Rippers who promised me to be free and in the end it wasnt (or there was watermark in the video)....
Does anyone of you know a free or cheap DVD Ripper who is able to convert to MP4 or at least to AVI?
Thanks a lot!

 

I use HANDBRAKE a lot. Its open source and free. You can check it out here https://handbrake.fr/

 

Thanks buddy!

 

I have been using these two for years and am very happy with them:

CloneDVD www.elby.ch/de/products/clonedvd.html
CDRWIN 10 https://engelmann.com/en/goldenhawk-cdrwin-10/

 

I've tried Handbrake but the DVD I wanna copy is protected they say so I cant rip it...
any other free softwares that can rip the DVD even if protected?

 

Have you tried MakeMKV? It's free because it's still in beta.

Code:

The current beta key can be found here:

Thanks, will try that

 

Thanks that did the trick!

 

Once again simply use VLC-Player (free)
Here's how to do.

Additional info for point 7 in the explaination you can click on the wrench symbol to set bitrate for the video and audio stream.

 

I love step 1 'Make sure your computer has a DVD drive.' That sounds useful.

 

I think that's the best (paid) choice

Oh my, I didn't even remember that! I used it in 98 or 99 when CD overburning was an issue and you needed specific hardware to do that (mine was Yamaha) and specific sw: CDRWin.

Happy to see that MakeMKV worked. I'll try it too.

 

Different software with the same name. Version 4.0 was the last from Golden Hawk: https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.goldenhawk.com/

 

That software was really fantastic...as it was also able to burn Akai Sample CD's. But on modern Win machines it doesnt work anymore, because of the missing ASPI drivers.

 

You can install ASPI (FrogASPI etc.). It's not that much of a problem. The real problem is that supported recorders are hard-coded, so only those on the list will work, and these are really old drives by now. Only a few are SATA at all...
