It is always useful having a DVD ripper, so you can extract the information from your DVDs and have it on your PC hard drive. If that ripper also lets you independently rip the audio as well as video, then even better, like with Ease DVD Ripper.
With Ease DVD Ripper you can rip the sound from a DVD directly to MP3 or WAV formats, always keeping the same quality as the original DVD. For videos, you can rip the DVD and convert the content to AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2, VCD, SVCD, DivX or Vid. Of course the user can indicate which exact parts they want to rip.
The size, compression level and characteristics of the resulting video can be specified by the user. Ease DVD Ripper also lets you make graphic captures of the DVD content in any of these formats: JPG, BMP, ICO, EMF or WMF.
