Don’t know how to pass the boring time during the trip? Or are you seeking for a way to backup your DVD to be safe from scratch? A DVD ripper software can easily solve your problem. I get to know WinX DVD Ripper Platinum from one of my friends and gave it a try after I got it. What impressed me are its fast speed and the wonderful performance on ripping protected DVD movies, even the newly released movies, like Star Trek 2009, Transformers 2, etc.

WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is a handy tool that allows you to rip and convert your DVDs in few clicks. It has a very intuitive interface and the ability of supporting multiple CPU, so that it helps you convert your DVD movies into more popular video formats: AVI, .VOB, .MPEG, .MP4, .WMV, .MOV, .FLV, or even .MP3 with fastest speed I ever see.

It can bypass all the protections and region locks. Especially when new types of copy protections are adopted in the DVD movies released recently, like Transformers 2, Star Trek, UP, etc. All of them are well protected with new generation copy protections, and there are rarely solutions to fix it. But WinX DVD Ripper Platinum can successfully solve this problem.

The latest version of it adds another feature allows you to copy DVD to hard drive as MPEG2 video format without any quality loss. It is a perfect 1:1 DVD copy and the converted video can be played with any DVD player software you are familiar.

First download WinX DVD Ripper Platinum, then run the program, you’re greeted with a fairly basic interface, at the bottom you can select the desired video format you would like to convert.

Import DVD file by clicking the ‘DVD Disc’ button to load it up and select it. Or you can select the folder of your DVD movie by clicking "DVD Path" button.

Choose what video format you’d like to convert to. Here I choose “to iPod” to convert my DVD movies to watch on my iPod. For advanced users, it also lets you adjust parameter settings according to your requirement.

Then select the output folder by click “browse” button.

The last step, click “Start” button, the conversion will begin.

I’d say WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is an easy to use which provides the standard set of features. It is only for $29.95 now on holiday promotion. The price $29.95 is quite reasonable compare with any other DVD ripper tools with the same functions. So if it is a DVD converter you are looking for, WinX DVD Ripper would be what you’d want.
