DVD ripper for Windows [closed]

I am looking for a good DVD ripper software for Windows. Looking for something that will easily rip the raw bits DVD to hard drive without any loss of quality.

Looking for something that will easily copy the VOB files to a server location for use with the Window Media Center DVD Library feature.


I would definitely recommend Handbrake!

  • open source and free
  • packed with features

dvdshrink is a good, free backup option for your DVDs.


I was answering https://superuser.com/questions/12489/dvd-conversion-software, which then was closed as a duplicate, so I'll post my answer here:

I have had success using a combination of the following Windows programs:

• DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink: to decrypt the copy protection and customize the conversion settings for audio/sound

• Quick Media Converter (QMC) allows you to convert any video format to any other video format.

I hope this helps.


AnyDVD is able to rip a disc bit by bit.

"Discs which cannot be read by Windows can be copied using the AnyDVD ripper."

AnyDVD HD does the same, but for BluRay as well.


Browse the Video_TS folder of your DVD and copy the .VOB file

VLC Media Player should have no problem viewing the files
