Bigasoft DVD Ripper can help you extract movies from your DVD discs, an operation that preserves your discs from mechanical damage and widens the range of supporting devices. Fortunately, it supports extracting contents from not only standard discs but DVD folders and IFO files as well. However, ISO image files, which have become very popular to store DVD data, are not allowed as input.
The application has a nice interface with a beautiful color combination. As it is not very different from other similar applications, it is unlikely that you will have difficulty using it. Luckily, you will not need to convert the whole disc because the program allows you to choose what chapters or titles to convert. In order to help you in the selection, the tool supports previewing the contents, and while doing that, you can also take snapshots of your favorite scenes. Moreover, it lets you pick the desired audio track and subtitles, when multiple are available. It is good that the program allows you to add subtitles, even when the original DVD movie does not include them, by embedding subtitles from external files. Another advantage is that you can add as many subtitles as you need, provided the selected output format allows it.
One of the main advantages of this ripper is the extensive number of authoring functions provided. For instance, should you want to extract only a segment from a video, you can simply trim it by marking the initial and ending times. You will also be able to crop the visible region of the frame to exclude unwanted elements. Moreover, by adding any of the available effects, you can change the visual appearance of the video. Other actions include watermarking, merging various clips and splitting the video by chapters.
This ripper supports a wide range of output formats. If you are a newbie, you should not worry about compatibility issues because the program comes with an extensive set of output profiles, properly identified by the names of their supporting devices. Luckily, these presets can be customized and the changes you make to them can be saved with new names.
To sum up, Bigasoft DVD Ripper is probably one of the best applications of its kind. Two main reasons support this judgment: it allows multiple editing actions and supports a broad range of output formats.
