The iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe is a powerful application that allows users to make back-up copies of their DVDs (even damaged ones) with excellent compression. Fully recommended for both beginners and experienced users, due to its outstanding combination of simplicity and power.
Feature Set (4.5/5)
This application supports Audio and Movie DVDs and is able to convert them with no problems. The iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe can convert your DVDs into AVI, DivX, WMA and VCD formats. Although most other formats can be used thanks to the external codec support, it includes many built-in codecs, so any user can start ripping immediately after installation.
The iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe can successfully read those DVD discs that are tainted or damaged, thanks to the use of a very efficient error correction algorithm. This allows you to recover those discs that are no more played by your DVD player or computer, making a high quality back-up copy of them to watch in your monitor’ screen.
Power users will like this application very much, due to its high level of customization: every setting can be adjusted manually to ensure that “geeks” will be able to tweak everything to their exact needs and desires. In case you are not a power user, the default settings also offer outstanding quality, great compression and a more than decent speed.
The iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe performs CPU auto detection and automatically applies specific optimizations that will ensure accurate conversion and better processor usage.
As said above, compression is really great. Although not as small as advertised in their website, iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe produced very small files when tested by us.
The application also allows the user to select the interval to be ripped, and supports VOB scanning.
Ease Of Use (5/5)
The interface of the iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe is very nice and well organized. It somehow resembles the appearance of Windows Media Player, and certainly features its simplicity and usability. This makes the iSofter DVD Ripper Deluxe a very easy to use DVD-ripping application for beginners, as the default settings are usually enough to create great quality media files.
Advanced settings are available for experienced users too.
