Here are some instructions on how to backup DVDs with lossless quality and rip DVD to all popular video and audio formats.

A. Free DVD Ripping software:


1. MakeMKV(Windows/OS X)

If you are looking to make digital backups of your favorite Blu-ray movies, you can find few better tools than MakeMKV, a freeware video transcoder that is quick and easy to use.

Out of antipiracy purpose, Blu-ray publishers put complicated copy protections on disc with the aim to prevent the content from being copied for commercial use. In case the protected discs, common Blu-ray ripper software will crash while converting Blu-ray to MKV format. But by taking advantages of MakeMKV, you can smoothly rip Blu-ray to MKV format as it supports decrypting almost all Blu-ray with CSS encryption, RCE scheme, Sony ARccOS protection or Disney X-Project DRM.

2. Handbrake(Windows/OS X)

There are several ways to do that but a good place to start is a free Open Source conversion utility called Handbrake. The Mac versions can be downloaded here.

You can convert a DVD into formats such as MP4, MKV that can be played on your PC, Mac, Television, iPhone, or Android phone. As a free DVD ripper and video converter, Handbrake has some limitations, for instance, it’s a pain to rip protected DVD movies. So in this article we are going to rip protected DVD with Handbrake on mac for playing the movies wherever and however you want. All you need to do is get download liddvdcss and Handbrake on your Mac and follow a few steps.

B. Alternative to Free DVD Ripping Software:


So far I’ve tried to save you money by suggesting open source software to do your DVD decrypting and ripping. You probably have found out that it’s very complex to operate the HandBrake and MakeMKV output MKV files ONLY! If you wanna convert the MKV rip to more common format MP4, you will still use Handbrake to convert MKV files to MP4.

Now that, Handbrake can’t support copy protected DVDs; MakeMKV can only output MKV video format.

Brorsoft DVD Ripper(Windows/Mac OS X) is one of the dvd ripping alternative if you just only need to rip and copy your DVD discs.
