MacX DVD Ripper Mac Free Edition 4.2.7

Overview

MacX DVD Ripper Mac Free Edition is a package for the trusty Mac computer to successfully rip DVDs. The package can handle HD quality video files like MP4, MOV and M4V as well as other video formats as well with its DVD ripping. Video can be adjusted for screen resolution as well in order to make it more easily viewable on the iPhone, iPad, iPad, Apple TV and iTunes app without wasting space with a higher resolution than the target device can natively display (a useful feature for devices with limited storage space). The package can also deal with copy protected DVDs to access them, play them, or clone them as the need arises. Audio can also be pulled right from the DVD and captures can be taken of frames within a movie. Minor edits can also be made of the video.

Installation

The installation runs smoothly. The download package can be taken from the Download3k to install it. The developer also offers a purchasable Pro version of the software which comes with a trial version.

Interface

The interface is rather dark. It has an icon control bar at the top with burning options to deal with DVDs, ISO images, add folders, plus sharing and settings. With a DVD in the drive and read, the software will display each chapter found on the disc. The chapter title, length, screen resolution, audio type and subtitle options are all shown. The user can preview a chapter in the small video preview screen on the right of the interface.

Pick what you wish to burn, adjust the settings (like how many CPU cores to use during the process), and then click the big blue RUN button.
