It’s quite common nowadays for people to watch movies on their portable devices, but in order to do that they must first rip them from DVDs and then convert them into the appropriate format for their device as well as make some configurations. With Nidesoft DVD Decrypter this process is simplified, since you only have to insert the DVD and select your device from the device list without making the slightest setting. Furthermore you can make edits to the movie prior to the conversion task regarding sutitles, audio tracks and video adjustments.
