Any DVD Ripper

Any DVD Converter is designed to rip DVD video contents to separate files. This operation is important if you want to preserve the original discs, edit their contents or play them In portable devices.

Moreover, the application comes with some built-in editing features. The interface design will probably be so familiar to you that you will not need any help to use the product successfully.

Just like with other applications of its kind, the workflow consists of importing, making the necessary changes, choosing a target format and proceeding to convert. Good news is that the application supports importing not only from DVD discs but also DVD folders and DVD images. However, it is my duty to warn you that this product does not support ripping DRM protected DVDs. Once you have imported any of these sources you can choose what content you want to convert. Similarly, if the original video contains several audio or subtitle tracks, you can choose the desired ones. At this point, it is also possible to view the contents of the selected clips.

In terms of editing, although the application does not offer as many features as more sophisticated video editors, it is convenient that it allows several basic operations and even some that deserve your attention. First of all, you do not have to import the entire clip, instead, you can extract only a segment. Secondly, you can apply effects such as rotating and cropping the image. It is also possible to adjust display parameters and add watermarks.

Special attention should be paid to the effect that allows you to improve the image quality. In this sense, you can increase the resolution, eliminate noise, optimize brightness and contrast, as well as reduce shaking. Another possibility is to simulate a 3D video from a 2D source.

Once the selection is made and changes have been applied, the next step is to choose the output format. Fortunately, the application supports a wide range of formats, including HD. What's more, these have been organized into profiles according to the type of device that supports them. It's good to know that you do not have to convert all clips using the same format, as the application supports the use of individual conversion profiles.

To sum up, Any DVD Converter makes it easy to extract your favorite videos, whether they are films, documentaries or even home recordings, from discs to archives, allowing you to watch them on a wider range of devices. It is a pity that the converter does not support converting between files. The product is available in the Mac App Store.
