Editor's review
This is a DVD ripper and format converter for the Mac.
DVD Ripper Platinum for Mac helps users rip DVD content to several different video formats. These include AVI, MPEG, WMV, DivX, MP4, RM, MP3, WAV, WMA, RA, M4A, AAC, AC3 and many such video/audio formats. Whether you want to play the video on your Mac or one of the devices like iPod, iPhone, PSP, PS3, 3GP phone, MP4/MP3 players and so on, this is a useful tool. Besides the video ripping and extraction of the soundtrack, this tool will let you split a large source file into several smaller sizes. You will need to specify the playtime or the actual size. It will also let you clip segments from the DVD movie and output them as a merged video file. Settings needed to get the best results for a given device is available as a profile, and you could simply select the profile without going through setting individual parameters.
You could output multiple files with different formats to satisfy multiple multimedia devices at one time just by setting different profiles for one original file. If you need to customize the size of the output file, there is a “bitrate” calculator that will suggest the required bit rate for that file size. Other features that are available include setting start and end times, audio track selection, subtitle and angle and some other advanced settings and ID3 tags editing for MP3/WMA tracks. You can take snapshots that can be used to identify the clips and ripping speed is quite good. This is a good product and has many useful features.
