A DVD ripper is actually a software program that is used to copy DVD content to a hard drive. Its primary use is to transfer the video found on DVDs to a different type of format so that the content can then be converted to other types of media such as MP4 players or some other type of mobile device.

You can also decrypt a protected DVD with the right type of DVD ripper software. This will allow you to make copies of your DVDs that are copyright protected. Now be forewarned: you cannot sell copies of copyright protected DVDs but you can keep a backup copy for your own personal use.

DVD-Ranger can rip media to your hard drive thus allowing you to transfer that media to any type of format you desire. It is super-simple, quick, easy and the quality is unmatched.
