Got the DVD for the newly released movie and hoping to share the joy with your cousin? Or have a big archive of movie DVDs to backup? We surely make copies of them but that has a downside. It doesn’t necessarily have the exact audio or video quality which is lost during the copying process. You need a professional DVD ripping tool which has all the state of the art technologies to create an exact copy of the discs. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is one such tool you can rely on when comes to DVD copying.

Get the software here(and here for the Mac variant) and install it. You can try the app for a few days before you choose to buy it. Once installed you can then fire up the app. The process of ripping is easy to even a novice who is trying out the software for the first time. Select a DVD source or an ISO image and then choose a output profile and you are good to go. Press the Run button to start the ripping process.
