[Official Video Guide] How to Rip DVD for Players with WinX DVD Ripper
Nowadays, people have more device choices for enjoying video stand still or just on the go. Then how to watch DVD movie or TV episode on various media player software or applications running on those machines? If you happen to be a DVD collector and have the same question on it, go ahead to find out how to rip DVD for player, which is the first and also the most important thing to do for enjoying DVD with media player.
Every operation system of computers and mobiles has its own media player by default, for example, the macOS/iOS has iTunes & QuickTime, Windows has Windows Media Player. But in many cases, those internal media players are inferior to the third-party players, like free VLC, KMPlayer and 5KPlayer. Therefore, the following content will also bring about details on ripping DVD for different players.
WinX DVD Ripper - Your first choice to rip DVD movies/TV series/workout/music and homemade DVDs for players fast and easily. More than 350 output profiles are built in including:
- Any hot media formats of players like VLC, WMP, iTunes, QuikTime, Kodi, Plex etc.
- Any devices that media players may live in, like iDevice, Androi mobiles, computers, laptops, HDTVs etc.
For Windows and Mac only. If you are a mobile user, please click here.
There is a wealth of media play software in the market. However, every time when we ask who is the best, it may be ended up with no answer, because every user has his or her own criteria and no one player can meet the needs for all. Here we just list some active and welcomed players with available systems and media ability. When you digitize your DVD for playback on either of the players by following the steps below, do remember to select one format accepted by the player.
Step 1 - Download and Install
Download WinX DVD Ripper and install it on your Windows or macOS computer. Then insert DVD disc into the DVD drive to standby.
Step 2 - Load DVD and Remove Copy Protections If There're
Launch the ripper and click "DVD Disc" to select and load DVD content in seconds. In this step, you will find the "DVD Disc File System Type" is ticked at "Auto Detect" by default. And in general, you are suggested to keep it still unless the ripper fails to read the disc.
If your source DVD is copy protected with certain mechanism, say a 99-title DVD movie, WinX DVD Ripper would disable it and choose the right title automatically.
Step 3 - Choose an Output Video Format
When DVD content is imported to the ripper rightly, an output profile window will pop up. In this section, just choose a video or audio format you and your media player prefer (SEE Media Formats of VLC/KODI/PLEX and More Players).
MP4 (h.264 + aac) is badly recommended for its perfect compatibility and better balance between file size and image quality. If you're a noob to media formats, you can choose a device output on the basis of its operation system or brand. (SEE What Device Outputs WinX DVD Ripper Supports)
Step 4 - Rip DVD for Player
If necessary, you are free to choose an audio channel/subtitles or edit DVD video. After that check "Safe Mode" and click "RUN" to start the ripping process. WinX DVD Ripper has the support for hardware accelerator from both Intel and Nvidia, so it can reach 32x real-time faster DVD ripping speed, up to 500 FPS if the GPU and DVD-ROM are powerful enough.
Step 5 - Watch Ripped DVD Video with Player
After DVD is converted to a digital file, you can view it with your frequently-used media player running on different systems.
