1. HandBrake

HandBrake is an open-source DVD ripper especially designed for users to convert DVDs to iPad, iPhone, iPod and QuickTime supported video formats. The latest version of Handbrake is 0.9.5, which is released on Jan, 13, 2011. Besides DVD, it can also convert videos like AVI and MP4 (Version 0.9.3 or later). It is a cross-platform DVD ripper freeware available for Mac OS X, Windows (Including Windows 8) and Linux. It supports batch encoding as well as one by one converting with good video quality.

However, it comes with a hard-to-use interface and many users are at a loss what to do. And for DVDs, this free Mac DVD ripper can only rip standard DVDs that can be played on your home DVD player without any third party software. So if you want to rip some commercial DVDs with Handbrake, you may feel frustrated. Another disadvantage of Handbrake is that it is not stable and sometimes crashes.



2. DVDFab HD

DVDfab has a comfortable blue interface, but it is not user-intuitive when it comes to operation. DVDfab DVD Ripper is good for those who would like to have external subtitles and 2 audio languages (MKV only), or those who want to rip a DVD to iPad MP4 and MKV at one time- this app queues up your conversion tasks and it pops up settings/queue box each time a chapter is selected (this makes the operation kind of misleading). There’re some presets for Android smartphones and tablets, and you’re allowed to custom your own format to utilize the screen of your tab. Overall, DVDfab is a nice choice for ripping DVD to MP4/MKV with multi-streams.





3. Aimersoft DVD Ripper for Mac

4. Magic DVD Ripper

You can use this tool to detect and import DVD files automatically from optical drive. It has enough common video formats, including WMV, AVI and MP4, for the average users. There are also 32 presets, but these are not enough for Android users. This tool might not deliver the original features, but it is still a nice tool for burning and copying DVDs.





5. Aiseesoft DVD Ripper for Mac



The Aiseesoft DVD Ripper is a satisfactory application to use when you need to copy movie DVDs to computer, rip DVDs to videos or audios of any format so that you can enjoy them on your portable device like PSP, iPod, iPhone, iPad(iPad2), Zune, Blackberry, Creative Zen, Apple TV, Xbox, etc. The software does a good job working out the presets for popular Android smartphones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung GALAXY Note 2), yet not so good in terms of Android tablets- still lacking of presets to specific Android tabs. This DVD converter comes with creative editing tools, so you can customize output movies by trimming, cropping, watermarking, etc.

Conclusion: So there are some best DVD Ripper software for Mac. While, searching online we find there are still many users are looking for a more professional DVD Ripper for Mac, especially on Mac E1 Capiatn.
