AviDemux - While more sophisticated and more feature full than Handbrake, it is more complicated doing a simple transcoding of a video while getting the best compression configurations, that being said, this is a great software and the huge list of filters it presents are a good incentive to master this one and use it as the video transcoder of choice.Handbrake - Wins first place for simplicity, mainly found due to the large list of predefined configurations which are well defined.I will list the candidates here in a decreasing order, meaning that the top one is the most recommended while the bottom one which still is a good candidate, but I would prefer using one of the others.
In this category I found many good candidates which basically do the same things (all of the above) in different levels of complexity, here I prefer simplicity over functionality as long as all the basic requirements are followed. These filters range from video cropping, to watermarking through video effects etc. This is where the heavy lifting is done, in transcoding I will convert the video to the video format of my choice, will encode it using an encoder of my choice (thus keeping as much quality but reducing as much size as I can) as well as applying "filters" to the video. If there is no other option you can also use VideoToVideo which has most of the dvd ripping features although it is outdated (2013) and lacks copy protection removing as well as some ripping options.
If you need something else, then the only good alternative I found was DVDShrink which is good enough but lacks the copy protection breaking and also wasn't updated since July 2004! I was stunned to find almost none which do what I need, that being said, I did find a real winner which is MakeMKV - this one fulfills all of my requirements! For DVD ripping I have several specific requirements, I want a software which will show me all the streams of video/audio/subtitles and will make it really simple to rip only part of the DVD.Īnother requirement will be Direct Copy of the ripped content as I don't want a software which will transcode the dvd to another format as it will cause the ripping to take several hours thus causing longer wear and tear on the poor DVD media.Īnd finally I prefer a software which can handle dvd drm/copy protection as it will make life easier.
