This program is the easiest software I have ever used…I bought all kinds of other programs with little sucess. I recommend this to beginners as well as experts for its ability to compete with all the others, also If you ever have a problem they get back to you very promptly and are considerate in helping with the situation…to me this is a five star program, no others can compare.

This program is a clear winner when it comes to the quality of the video and audio output and the ease of using its various tools, WHEN IT WORKS. However, it’s expensive ($45), and I found that it can’t decode more recent DVD releases (in my case, Ratatouille (2007) and Shrek The Third (2007)). The program fails to upload the DVD title/chapter info, you never get to start ripping, the program freezes, followed by your computer, requiring a “hard reboot” to restart. Their customer service was totally useless on this issue, other than saying “try another DVD, and have a nice day.” As I felt the program was defective, I asked for a refund. I didn’t get it.
As an aside, the freeware trial version of “#1 DVD Ripper” from Apollo Multimedia WAS able to rip the titles that ImToo’s program could not, and their full version costs $10 less than DVD Ripper Platinum.
