Here, we pick up the most popular and practical DVD rippers and give a review of Best 5 DVD Ripper for encode DVDs to your all Apple or Android devices.

  


DVD Ripping Software: Why It Is Necessary:
   
A. For Android and iOS mobile users, one of the most dangerous things is watching online videos, not only because they are planted with ads, but also for the possibility that there are some extra compulsory charging and potential threats to PCs. Accordingly, to play movies offline and sort out DVD collection, some people may be seeking for the best free DVD rippers for Windows or Mac, but only end up with the functional limitation such as in the DVD to AVI ripping and the support for region/copy protected DVDs.

B. The DVDs still have a limited shelf life and you could potentially lose the data on the disc due to a large number of circumstances. If the disc doesn't go bad naturally, it could potentially become scratched and large portions or even the entire disc could be rendered unplayable. To keep them all the time, we can choose a software and then play them on your all devices (just like iphone5S, Samsung S5, Kindle Fire KDX, Surface pro 3, etc) for watching on the go. 
    
According to industrial surveys, online response, user feedbacks and ownership recently, Pavtube DVDAid shall be crowned the top 1 commercial DVD ripper brand for Windows or Mac. Let's see the following review:
  
Top 1. Pavtube DVDAid (Win/Mac) 
 

 
Pavtube DVDAid is regarded as the best DVD ripping software on the market that provides movie lovers, children and people in any group with the easiest and fastest way to rip and convert DVD movies to MP4/AVI/MKV/WMV and many other video and audio formats with high quality. It lets you enjoy DVD movies on any portable device like iPhone 5S, 5C, iPad Air, 2nd Gen Nexus 7, Asus Fonepad 7,Sony Xperia Z2, Surface 2, Surface Pro 2 and Surface RT/Pro, Kindle Fire HDX, etc. 

Moreover, Pavtube DVDAid makes 1:1 copy of original DVD Disc without quality loss with all audio streams, subtitle tracks, extras, etc. For the short time it takes to convert the movie with the help of CUDA/AMD GPU acceleration, and you will get hours of enjoyments. It's simple to use and well worth the investment. 

The best feature: It can support latest DVD, features with adding *.srt and *.ass subtitle, also help you direct copy titles from DVDs.
  
If you travel a lot and you are looking for a way to take DVD movies you purchased with you to enjoy all the movies in your library, or you just want to backup your DVD collection to avoid them from daily playback damage or from your children, Pavtube DVDAid is the best choice. (A step-by-step guide refer to: Rip DVD movies to Android Phone/Tablet for watching freely. 
  
Top 2. DVDfab DVD Ripper (Win/Mac)



DVDfab has a comfortable blue interface, but it is not user-intuitive as Pavtube when it comes to operation. DVDfab DVD Ripper is good for those who would like to have external subtitles and 2 audio languages (MKV only), or those who want to rip a DVD to iPad MP4 and MKV at one time- this app queues up your conversion tasks and it pops up settings/queue box each time a chapter is selected (this makes the operation kind of misleading). There’re some presets for Android smartphones and tablets, and you’re allowed to custom your own format to utilize the screen of your tab. Overall, DVDfab is a nice choice for ripping DVD to MP4/MKV with multi-streams.
  
Top 3. Magic DVD Ripper (Win/Mac) 



Magic DVD Ripper detects and imports DVD from optical drive automatically. If you have a DVD backup on hard drive, you can select and load the VIDEO_TS folder instead. Magic features adequate common video formats (MP4, AVI, WMV) for average users, but 32 presets are not sufficient for Android users, since there’s only 1 format for Android tablet – the Kindle Fire. As Galaxy Tab owner I would like to put DVD movies onto the 10.1' tablet and I need a costumed format to ensure smooth playback on my device. Magic DVD Ripper failed to keep the original aspect ratio, and gave softer image. Magic DVD Ripper serves as a nice tool for copying and burning DVDs though.

Top 4. AnyDVD (Win/Mac)
 

 
AnyDVD (which rips DVDs only) and AnyDVD HD (which supports Blu-rays and HD DVDs) both earned high praise from you for being well worth their entry prices, and getting frequent updates to get around the copy protection that disc publishers include that make it harder for you to rip your own movies and play them on the devices you choose. The app can handle unwanted DRM, remove region restrictions, disables forced subtitles or delays, and even plays nice with DVD authoring tools if you're backing up your movies. You can try the app for free, but its features will cost you: AnyDVD is 49EUR ($65 USD) and AnyDVD HD is 79EUR ($105 USD).

Top 5. Aiseesoft DVD Ripper(Win/Mac)



Still not sure how to pronounce, but it does just what it says; it rips DVDs. It’s not as robust as the Toast or DVDFab products, but it works well, it’s fast, users seem to like it and it has a great price point. It even offers some basic editing functionality and a whole host of different file format/container options. Therefore it’s worthy of being in the top 5. 

Free Options: 

Here, we will give you a surprise is that Pavtube Free DVDAid, Top 5 Free DVD Rippers Review: Full Guide. It offers you a fun, easy and fabulous way to rip DVDs, according to Pavtube, this freeware has all the features of regular DVDAid except it cannot output as MP4 nor does it have specific output profiles for electronic devices. 

Conclusion:

Pavtube DVDAid is proved to be the best DVD ripper for Android tablet/phone. It ranks top on the DVD ripping application list for almost every aspect except for interface design.

Anyhow, hope this top 5 DVD Ripper Reviews can help you fast choose an easy-to-use and yet professional DVD ripping tool. Now get the best DVD Ripper Program for You!
