Editorial Review of Pavtube DVD Ripper
If you look around, there are literally dozens of DVD copy
programs or rippers advertised. Most won't back up copy protected
DVDs--Pavtube DVD Ripper does. Before I go any further, let me say
that while making a single copy of a DVD for backup purposes is
legal, the DMCA says the breaking the copy protection on DVDs or
any copy protection is. That leaves a whole lot of room for legal
contention; so, don't say I didn't tell you.
Legal caveat aside, Pavtube DVD Ripper works well. I ripped my
own copy-protected DVD of "The Bourne Ultimatum" to both mp4 (for
iPods) and straight VOBs (for re-burning to DVD) but the program
supports a myriad of output formats suited to any number of other
portable devices. The demo version placed a prominent watermark
logo on the video, but the quality was quite good.
Performance on the rip-to-VOB was pretty slow (most likely
because of adding the watermark); encoding to MP4 was adequate, but
not super fast. You can select which titles on the disc to include
in a rip, as well as encode all the titles on the disc to one file
or separate files.
The program's interface is very clean and well suited to task; I
had no problem finding all the relevant options or understanding
them. Bottom line: Pavtube DVD Ripper performs as advertised and is
well suited to backing up your DVD collection or rendering it
viewable on your iPod or other portable viewer.
