So far I’ve had the easiest, smoothest, and best experience ripping DVDs and encoding video ever with Winki The Ripper.
It works fantastically well with a step-by-step interface approach that just works. My ripped dvd came out great–exactly how I wanted it–with no problems whatsoever. And other than a few modifications to the default settings, I basically just clicked “next” all the way through to a completed file. To make things even better, I was then able to use Winki to re-encode file into another format I needed.

I got equal results. If you’re looking for a not-so-complicated way to just back up those dvds, or re-encode some vids to put on your mobile device, this app has you covered.
