Seems to be a nice program, except that it keeps giving me an unexpected error and shutting down whenever I select a particular DVD that I am very intent on ripping to my portable. Granted, it is a Japanese DVD, which may or may not be the problem.

how do you get it onto your ipod
i cant find the movie now that i ripped it

hayden
#13. July 9th, 2007, at 1:26 PM.

Yeah this program makes no sense. It doesn’t like my frame rate or something: “input and output frame rate not equal”. And when it did work I could not find where the file had gone. Others have clearly had luck but it doesn’t work for me…

#14. July 19th, 2007, at 1:29 AM.

Installed it on vista. Works fine but if I try and convert to divx I get 4:3 screen ration with the sides of the video cut off no matter what setting I put the Zoom on. Pitty as I was looking for a DVD to divx converter for Vista. Wish there was a way for someone to help me as I dont know if I’m doing it right.

Hello all!
This is a great program.
I’ve looked for a program to do what I wanted and it did!

It took me a while to find this program but I am so happy right now!

Thank you!

When i start encoding the disk drive sounds like it is trying to eat my DVD! i have used other rippers and they have the same sound as if the DVD was playing..

Kevin
#18. August 1st, 2007, at 4:52 PM.

I don’t understand how this works either. Input and output frame rate not equal? How do I fix that? I can’t even rip a certain part of a movie because when I start encoding, it goes to the beginning of the film. I dunno. I need help with this.

M. Gonzales
#19. August 2nd, 2007, at 6:44 PM.

This is probably the best free ripping program out there. It produces great quality videos from Dvds and changes aspect ratios — wow. Great that it also encodes to Mpeg 4

Mr. H.
#20. August 3rd, 2007, at 5:03 AM.

Argh… This is quite frustrating. The readme file tells me to find the folder in which the .IFO files are located, and I can’t seem to find that. Any suggestions?

What a confusing prog ripped 1 dvd to my computer and converted to use on my Zen vision took a long time to find where but surprise it worked,however it hides all further ripped dvd’s and I can’t find them anywhere on my compute,so trying other software.Debraose27

It takes my DvD files to C:/ that’s probably what it’s doing for most of you.

Trikemailer
#27. August 12th, 2007, at 3:05 PM.

Great prog. dead easy to use… just set the Output Folder & the file format, insert a disk and click “Start Encoding”. Runs on Vista with no issues that I can see.

Jonathan
#28. August 13th, 2007, at 6:03 PM.

The program worked great on a Dvd that i ripped the first time, but on a Disney Dvd, it wouldn’t rip, it yold me that an error had occured and asked me to send the error report. I beleive this has something to do with a copyright issue though.

Edwin
#29. August 19th, 2007, at 12:55 AM.

Kevin,

If you’re ripping a segment, you need to click on ’segment’ and enter the ‘begin’ and ‘end’ time. So you need to preview and log the time of the segment you will be ripping.

This is a horrible dvd ripper. It does rip your dvds onto your computer, but the DVD never sounds right after that. The sound FX are too loud and the voices echo and you can barely hear them! It is a horrible product. Don’t waste a DVD like I did!!!

steven
#34. August 30th, 2007, at 12:16 PM.

subtitle, how about subtitle?
can I rip subtitle as well ?

Wigglestheholy
#35. August 31st, 2007, at 3:16 PM.

Man there are some real smart ones on here. You can re-assign the area you want to save the file to, it is right above the encode button OUTPUT FOLDER if you didn’t specify one just go your c:/programs and find the programs file there you will find your file. And you have to adjust settings its just something you have to do. Do you expect everything to be handed out on a silver platter? The PROGRAM IS FREE if you want absolute perfection spend 40 bucks on another program.Newb

Tyler
#36. September 5th, 2007, at 12:27 PM.

It’s crap. No wonder it’s free. I can figure some of it out, but it still isn’t doing what I want, plus the ripped video has patches where it skips or stalls on one spot. Could be my machine, but I think this thing has issues. It’ll only work for just the right people, apparently.
And if you don’t change the file name and location, they rip to C:/, they don’t disappear
Try doing a search on your files to find something if you lose it.

Norma
#37. September 14th, 2007, at 4:44 AM.

Downloaded and got it going on Vista Home Premium. Going ok except that I cannot get MPEG 4 output going. It saves the file as AVI even though I have it set up as MPEG4 output. In the output directories it will only let me update the path. I keyed in a file name say file.mp4 but still only get file.avi output. Both the output files display in the output file selection pop up so once I have keyed file.mp4 it looks like it is going to save two files - file.avi and file.mp4 and only creates file.avi - anyone else with a similar prob?

sean
#38. September 19th, 2007, at 5:04 AM.

What the heck, does anybody now the reason why this stupid program seems to freeze when the installation hits “creating desktop shortcut” I waited for awhile but the installation wouldn’t complete, so I exited out of installation but the icon was on my desktop without the installation ever completing. I don’t want to use the program if it didn’t install right. Therefore I can’t unistall this piece of you know what program.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM. It is absolutely horrible. It ruins DVD’s and messes up your computers hard drive. If you value your computer or anything on it do not touch this program or maybe i should say virus.

soulstice
#42. October 18th, 2007, at 10:25 AM.

ok… i downloaded this, and i guess the install messed up. i saw some one posted a problem with not even seeing the “start encoding” button. same problem here. also, it looks like the buttons have duplicates overlapping other buttons, and the text boxes cover up the video playback window. played around with the aspect ratio, and recorded the whole movie as one segment. turns out the result was the best rip of a movie that i have. sound and video qualities a 10. if i could get this thing to install to look like the picture, i’d be in love. also, it said that it ripped it fast, but i could only get it to rip in real time.

james c
#43. October 23rd, 2007, at 11:18 AM.

Error message while installing: clicked “Ignore” and it installed properly (windows xp home sp2). Very user friendly. If you want a bigger output you must enter dimensions int Settings > Output settings. Would reccomend.

Annoyed
#44. October 25th, 2007, at 7:03 PM.

Okay. So I downloaded it, installed it, and opened it. Why will it not recognize I HAVE a dvd in the disc drive? and why will it do NOTHING except sit there and annoy me? I thought this would be a cool program…and now I am not liking it. Over all it’s fucked.

stavna

It shows up on the bar at the bottom, and when i look at the task manager, it shows it running, but won’t show on the screen. Help!

#50. November 13th, 2007, at 6:01 PM.

Great ripper for experienced users who understand what ripping DVDs actually involves… and those who need absolute control/flexibility of conversion/output options. If you don’t understand video formats, codecs, frame rates, aspect ratios, and the hundreds of options/settings available, don’t bother with this. You’ll just be confused and wind up complaining that it doesn’t work. It *does* work, and it works fantastically well IF you know what you’re doing. Cheers! Nice work. (and Thanks!)

#51. November 15th, 2007, at 2:17 AM.

Okay - this is my first forray into DVD ripping, and I found this one seems to work well in terms of getting the dvd to my hard drive. however, it places a big section of green text on the screen of the movie file describing the audio track, the bitrate, etc. i’m sure it’s somewhere in the settings to remove it, but I can’t figure it out. can someone help, PLEASE??? Thanks!

Check Out Magic DVD Ripper

#56. December 1st, 2007, at 5:25 PM.

I’m sure this works for people with more expierence, but I’m having a lot of issues with AVI (DivX format). I tried to make it a MPEG but the error continued. Please help.

#57. December 7th, 2007, at 5:07 PM.

I had checked out several downloads costing up to $45, and I read the reviews before trying Free-DVD. Not sure why others had problems, but this has been the best in my new experience with ripping and conversion. Easy, intuitive, and flexible. The “frame rate not equal” prompts come up, but it seems to be simply alerting to adjustments that it makes, and I’ve seen no indications of hidden or bothersome spyware. My main projects are taking previous DVDs including my own DVD+Rs and converting them to usable files for simple Windows Movie Maker editing and online uploads. Most of the other ripper/converters had problems recognizing titles for various DVDRs and then providing a usable list from which to draw from. Free-DVD not only read them easily (as an IFO file), but it gave an understandable listing, provided easy segmenting of desired clips, and gave constant progress indications. Nothing else I found would do that. I uninstalled the rest and would recommend this program to anyone.

icecristal
#58. December 7th, 2007, at 8:01 PM.

First rip, works great. Get a little educated on digital video people, it’s not a no-brainer and the app does not intend to teach you. Also there’s no spyware on this app and it doesn’t ask you for your credit card.

Roger L. Main
#61. December 14th, 2007, at 5:51 PM.

So far so good. I saw two comments that I thought were problems too but there are solutions. 1) Can’t find the video once encoded - there is an option on the main window (what’s your problem? are you blind?) that says: “Output Folder” which is a bit misleading because it does ask you to specify an actual file name. The other comment (which I thought was a problem) concerns the message: “frame rate not equal.” It took me a moment or two to work this out - to change this setting you actually need to look at the Input Settings (under the Settings Menu) - I agree that this is counterintuitive, but it’s there and It seems to default to PAL frame rate. In North America you need to change this to NTSC (29.97 FPS). I’m ripping now and I’ll let you all know how it goes, but after testing several products this seems to be the easiest. I agree with post #50 - If you don’t know about codecs, frame rates, video standards, etc, then do some research first. It makes a lot more sense when yoyu know about these things.

Roger L. Main
#62. December 14th, 2007, at 6:20 PM.

OK. DVD ripped with no problems. Those people on this board bitching about this product of full of it. No spyware (so far - if I come across any believe me, you’ll hear about it) and no crashes. I suggest that if you’re having problems with this product then look for the cause somewhere else because this did exactly what I wanted with no problems whatsoever.

And, incidently, if you’re thinking that I’m an agent for the company then you’re wrong. I have absolutely no affiliation with the producers of this - I don’t know any of them and never even heard of this program before I did a google search for a free dvd ripper. I just hate to see a good product get bagged because the users are incompetent (or stupid).

#70. December 30th, 2007, at 6:02 AM.

According to the README file, this program has been made by NeSoft
(http://www.nesoft.org). What it really surprised me is that there is no
mention of FreeDVDRipper anywhere on that website. Could it be that this
program contain some malicious/spyware code?

josh

Great program! I’ve been looking for a good free DVD ripper for a long time and I’m glad I found this before I just gave in and bought one. Works like a charm! It might be helpful if they put a “How-To” guide on here for those who don’t know how to use it.

themanisbad00
#73. January 1st, 2008, at 2:33 AM.

I think it’s a great program but, it took me a while to find a program that would be a loophole when it says cannot read a certain file. All you have to do is download DVD43!!! What it does is it unlocks the protection on the DVD and lets you use whatever program to rip it, such as this.

ppplll000999
#74. January 3rd, 2008, at 2:38 AM.

This is a very good FREE program! I am not too computer-smart and yet I already am using it within 15 mins. Following Roger Main’s pointer, I put output to NTSC & I have not problem at all on running it.
Thank You for such good freeware.

CHris
#75. January 4th, 2008, at 1:14 PM.

I found the ripper to work very well the first time I ran it. did have problems finding IFO files after the first rip and so have to reinstall each time I use it but I run Vista home premium which is most likely the problem. I have encountered worse problems with other programs before. for those who experience lag, try using a different player, I found lag on an AVI my friend sent me when using mediaplayer and so watched it on DIVX player. Worked fine.

#76. January 4th, 2008, at 2:39 PM.

This is a great easy to use program!!!…a quick download and install.
Works great, and does what it says…i have no problems (using XP) it does take a while to rip a dvd but of course they hold gigs of video. you can select what part of the dvd you want (such as a single song from a concert dvd)…works great!!!!!…download it now!

Derrick
#77. January 7th, 2008, at 10:43 PM.

Awesome! What more could you want from a completely free program. if you cant figure out where it is saving you videos, click file/destination. it usually saves in C:

Emily
#78. January 19th, 2008, at 9:19 PM.

Program worked great. For the problem with letterbox and distortion - under Settings -> Input Settings select Full instead of Letterbox. For the problem with input/output frames not matching, in the same settings menu select “Output Frames” to match input. If you don’t know the frames per second of the input, try one of the other two standard speeds (PAL or NTSC), as most DVDs are in one of those standards. To select the output location, press “Output folder” and then press “Browse” on the window that pops up. This will give you a “Save As…” dialog and you can choose the location.

Mr. Paul
#79. January 19th, 2008, at 10:10 PM.

This made NO sense at all! It sucked! It kept telling me the “input output frames were not equal”, then when it started working, it said there were “Too many frame samples.” And I had to change the frame rate, and whoever made this “CLEVER” device didn’t put ANYTHING helpful in the ‘About’ colum.

Kelsey

Roy
#86. February 28th, 2008, at 3:18 AM.

“Input output frames were not equal” is just a warning. Two clicks to OK it and its gone. I set my output resolution to 1280 x 720, even though I bumped the res up, it still looks good. However, its gonna take over 6 hours to rip, but it will fit my entire widescreen tv perfectly.

You Idiots whi can’t work your computers need to go get a DUMBED DOWN MAC!!! This program is what i think VERY user friendly.
If your having problems with finding your ripped DVD Movies save them to a diffrent folderthat YOU WILL REMEMBER. (DUH!!!) If you dont know your computer good enough to look in a pre-made folder on the C:// drive or at least search for the file nave your a real NOOB AT COMPUTERS! I’ve used this program on my newly bought Voodo computer and this program runs like a star!! No problems AT ALL! I’vew been riping full lengthed DVDs onto my Zune and i Have not experenced any… Screen issues, sound problems or failures, and the only whining i’ve heard is from you guys who cant spot a good program! Also NO spam at all!!!

THIS ISN’T FREE. I took the time to download, install and use it. Turns out not only is it a 30 day evaluation program, but it only rips video to 3gp. There are many other output formats, but none of them are selectable.

Thanks for wasting half an hour of my time.

This app won’t even start - got error about missing driver.

I wouldn’t recommend it. Also doesn’t show up in add/remove programs.

ok this thing is obviously a scam. ppl that say “Oh my gosh, it is great! The best one out there! This rules - WOW!” are just ppl from the company, ppl that were told to put that, or the guy that MADE THE SOFTWARE! i will never download this stinky piece of dog shit because in earlier comments, they said it doesnt appear in Add/Remove programs. its obviously crap and a total scam and i suggest you dont bother with the free ones because they have spyware that take up your computer.

Definitely NOT free. Trial version only. Does not rip all formats and has audio lag problems and video jumps/stalls at times. Tried many different settings and still have the same problems. My computer is only a couple months old so don’t even try to blame it on that. I’ve used other dvd rippers before and most of the “free” ones are crap. They are almost all limited TRIAL versions that constantly ask you to upgrade them. Best free dvd ripper I’ve found so far is BITRIPPER. Just google it. I’ll tell you this much here and now, it works on most dvd’s and if you want ease of use, it doesn’t get much easier than BITRIPPER! Oh… The best part of all: BITRIPPER is TOTALLY FREE! No ads, no spyware, no viruses!

Some people are too lazy, ignorant or plain stupid for this great util.
I recommend it and yes it works on Vista for me too. It’s free and it works.
Those of you who think that a comuter is smarter than you deserve the problems
you have.

Hey, this is a really great program, but only recently I’ve been having trouble. The last two DVDs I’ve ripped were distorted and wavy, yet the others came out perfectly and I don’t think I’ve changed the settings whatsoever. Can anyone help?

Wow, it is so fast to download! And it works so good! And to those of you having trouble finding the files you’ve encoded… alrighty heres my advice. Click ‘output folder’ before you start encoding. Pick a folder in ‘browse’ that you want to put it in and name it. THEN you click start encoding… and click stop when you’ve finished the section you want saved. Once it’s stopped it will save. Anyhoo, so far so good for me… hallelujah!

Maybe I spoke to soon, I was excited… is it to good to be true? I think so… after reading a bunch of your comments saying it contained spyware I ran a a virus scan using Sophos anti-virus. It detected a Trojan bug, which you usually get from ads saying ‘free ringtone’ or ‘free screensavers’. A Trojan virus IS spyware and is used to corrupt files or get into hidden files on your computer etc. I am a bit reluctant to uninstall because it does work, but I’d rather pay $45 for a reliable one that won’t cause me any trouble then have a free one full of viruses. I’m sure you’d agree. Plus, look at the advertisements and crap on this website. Hmmm… I should have looked a bit more carefully.

This won’t install correctly on Vista, so don’t waste your bandwidth downloading it if you have it.
