Tipard DVD to AVI Converter can help you extract contents from your DVDs. It has a nice interface, quite similar to those of batch media converters, which will let you use it seamlessly.
The ripper supports various types of DVD sources, namely, discs, DVD folders and ISO files. It is a shame that it does not allow extracting data from ISO image files, a format that is increasingly becoming popular. Once one of these sources is chosen, the tool will automatically display the titles it contains. From this list you can pick the movies you wish to convert. Moreover, you can preview them and take snapshots of given scenes. In the case of multi-language DVDs, you are allowed to choose one of the available audio tracks or subtitle streams.
Besides ripping, this tool can also be used as a simple video editor because it supports various authoring functions. Thus, it lets you trim a title to extract just a segment from it. However, it does not support marking various segments to be extracted from the same source clip. It can also let you erase unwanted frame regions. Moreover, you can add watermarks or tweak picture parameters. Finally, you can also merge various clips into a larger file.
At first, it might seem that only AVI is supported as output format. However, the application actually lets you convert to other formats, such as MPG, 3GP and MP4. What is more, you can also use it to extract audio in such popular formats as MP3, AC3, AAC, M4A, MP2 and WAV. Fortunately, individual conversion profiles can be used and you can even personalize them and save the changes for later use.
To sum up, Tipard DVD to AVI Converter is a fine ripper. As it supports modern hardware, it can do its job both accurately and quickly. Its main limitation is that it does not support as many output formats as other general-purpose converters. Therefore, you should verify whether the available output formats fit your needs.
