2 Free Software to Backup Your DVDs

Before DVDs, if that’ll ever come the day, leave us, there are still so many movie lovers addicted to DVDs. They prefer to enjoy movies with DVDs at home in the living room. But chances are that sometimes after searching all day for a classic DVD you’ve collected and inserting it, when you realize that it’s damaged.

That’s way annoying, isn’t it? Although news came from Disney that: users can get new copies from without requiring customers to purchase a new one (but not free: DVD for $6.95 each and Blu-ray $8.95). They only referred to Disney DVD movies. The following software would help you backup your DVDs as digital copies.

Super
Super-simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer is a freeware for video converting provided by FFmpeg, MEncode, MPlayer, etc. With it you can convert DVD to many video formats (and .iso images) you need for your portable devices or for other purposes. In addition, it could merge several videos into one. It is said Super even accept custom option for users.

Its operating interface seems to be kind of complicated, which may make it difficult for some users for the first time. Till now, it only supports Windows OS. The biggest flaw I personally think is there’s even no way of getting support and help: email, telephone or live chat, nothing works.

Format Factory
This is an awesome free format converting tool: videos, audios and images are all supported. Formats can be easily converted with it with a nice icon-driven interface, including DVD to other formats. Besides, it could be applied for batch media conversion.
It's a pity that there’s only Windows version available at the moment.

Well, these two are not professional (specialized) in DVD ripping, though, they work well. Too many other tools for DVD to be listed here, I’ll introduce some other ones, maybe some of the best paid ones from my personal experience, just for your references.
