We all know that we can rip DVD movies and music, but most of us gave
up doing this just because it takes too much time and needs too many
settings which could only be understood by a very few general crowd to
rip a DVD Movie to a high quality video as AVI, MP4, 3GP, DivX file
etc.
These months, however, more and more tools become available that
automatically do everything for you at speed and quality. One of these
tools comes from ImTOO Studio, the DVD Ripper Platinum consisting of
the function of DVD Ripper and DVD Audio Ripper. As described, it can
rip DVD to all popular videos and audios including DVD to video DivX,
AVI, MPEG, WMV, RM, MOV, MP4, 3GP, and to audio MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC,
AC3, M4A, OGG. No longer are you limited to watch DVD on TV, the movie
and music is now available in your car, on your iPod, PSP, mobile
phone, portable MP3 player and accompanies you now wherever you go.
The Installation is so easy to handle. If you'd like to click with the
mouse, you can install ImTOO DVD Ripper Platinum in less than 40
seconds. After that, it's very simple to add a Disc in your DVD Drive
and use the options from ImTOO to match your needs. The ImTOO also
allows the ripping to be started in as few as 3 steps.
First choose "Add DVD Folder" in the "File" menu or click the "DVD"
icon directly on the interface to select the DVD Drive with the disc
inside and select tracks you'd like to convert.
Then you are supposed to select a "Profile" (known as output formats)
amongst the ones available ( DivX, AVI, MPEG, WMV, RM, MOV, MP4, 3GP,
AAC, MP3, OGG, RA, AU, WAV or WMA etc. so many which is dazzling) .
Next, click "RIP" to save the video and audio files to your hard drive.
Reading the DVD is done fast and the interface allows "playing" the
movies with video on screen at bottom right. Strangely the sound
produced is very distorted with 1 of the 8 soundcards we tried out
which is the Creative sound Blaster live 24-bit, so I decided to reboot
my PC which didn't help. I then started playing with the settings of my
Sound card (Sound Blaster Live 24 bit) and it seemed the slider for
Hardware Acceleration was the solution. (Go to Control Panel, Sounds
and Audio Devices, on the Volume Control Tab select "Advanced" and set
the slider to the opposite side of where it is as default if it happens
to you).
What you will experience during listening to the DVD Audio through
ImTOO is that when the program window looses focus (because you open
your mailbox or want to start surfing), the sound is gone until you
make the ImTOO Program window active again.
We decided to set the program to rip a DVD of A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS'
DREAM to MP4 playable on my iPod, and split the file each ten minutes
while we keep working and surfing the Internet. After all, ripping
should not render your PC useless or cause any distortion in the file
that result out of ImTOO. Good news after we are done, no distortion is
noticeable and the Quality is very good.
Total ripping time for 2.24 hours DVD was about 1.5 hour time so it is
fast on top of the Quality. With a little tuning of the program for
your hardware (remember the sound card options) and selecting your
preferred output type, you can rip many DVD's in a couple of hours and
stach your results in your car, on your iPod, PSP, mobile phone, MP4
player, portable MP3 player etc.
More easy settings are available but not discussed in this short
article to allow you to explore what else is available in this great
tool. I'd already ripped my entire collection last night (5 DVD's) to
700MB discs...and today my Friend is wondering why I am red-eye but
swollen-headed...lol
Limited to the settings you really need!
Made with the Home User in mind!
Very nice Quality!
Fast ripping!
Xcellent program!
