And can you recommend a free DVD ripper for Windows 7?

With the release of Windows 7 in Oct 2009, it has won thousands of accolades worldwide. It features in the aesthetical UI, responsiveness and stability. Today, even though Windows 11 has been released, Windows 7 still controls 10.63% of the desktop Windows version worldwide market. So, we can't ignore this group of users' needs for ripping DVDs. But, how to rip a DVD on Windows 7? First of all, we need to download and install a DVD ripper that is compatible with Windows 7.
