Handbrake - dvd ripper

I was searching around the other day for some software that will rip my legit dvds into a good format to be played onto the iphone, that’s when i came across handbrake. It’s opensource and works on all platforms (that being windows, mac and linux), when i first opened it i noticed all the types it can convert to as there is a list on the side. The list includes such formats as the iphone, ipod, apple TV, ps3, psp and many more. That’s one thing i loved about it is that it has all those formats for you to be able to select, for dvd ripping i used to use total video convertor but this isn’t the best of things especially when it comes to ripping dvds as sometimes i had no sound to go with the video.

My first attempt at ripping a dvd on here is well not the best of attempts that’s for sure, it was going really really slow and it said that it could take up to 4 hours so this was disappointing for sure. I haven’t tried anything else yet but i will be sticking to it a you are given other options to play around with as well such as the dimensions of the video which is something i’ll never use myself but see a very handy tool.I plan on trying a dvd that has a film that doesn’t go on for as long as the one i tried the first time and maybe it will go faster (hopefully it will). So if you’re in need of something that will rip your dvds in a good format for other devices then go for handbrake which can be found here
