WinX DVD Ripper Review and Alternative DVD Ripping Tool

About WinX DVD Ripper

WinX DVD Ripper, developed by Digiarty Software, is a DVD ripping tool that can rip copy-protected DVDs to popular digital formats such as MOV, MP4, AVI, WMV, and MP3. It also provides dedicated profiles so that you can output videos compatible with the specific device. The output files can be played on your Plex server, home theatre, or portable devices like Android and Apple phones/tablets.

WinX DVD Ripper Free Edition for Windows and Mac is not a standalone application but is integrated into the full version of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. When you download and install the program, you will automatically install the Platinum version.

When you run the software, you will get a message indicating that you need to buy the full version to remove the 5-minute limitation. In our tests, the free version allows for a 10-minute conversion of each title.

WinX DVD Ripper Platinum also allows you to make a master title copy and a full disc copy of the DVD, so that you can get all the video, audio, and subtitles of the DVD disc.
