Step 2: Select What You Want to Rip

After loading, all the available titles of the DVD will be listed in the window. You can choose titles from the list and select Audio Track & Subtitle or disable them as needed. Enter the number of the starting and ending chapters to choose any chapter of the titles to copy. Check "Deinterlace" so that the output videos play better on computer screens.

Taking a snapshot of the scene being played is allowed.

Step 3: Specify Output Settings

Click "Browse..." to select a target folder to store the ripped videos. Active "Copy as" menu and three tabs: "Video", "Device" & "Audio", containing various supported formats, are displayed. Click "Video" tab and choose "To AVI" as an output format. Then, you can choose the quality presets from the drop-down menu below. All the presets are well configured and have short descriptions of the usages. With all the settings done, click "Start" to start ripping.

Step 4. Start Ripping

After you hit "Start", some ripping information and a progress bar will be displayed within just few seconds. Select the post-process options to automatically play the sound or shut down the computer after the ripping is finished.

When the window disappears, the DVD video has been successfully ripped. If needed, click "Find Target" to directly open the output folder to get the AVI videos.
