Use a different browser, but there are TWO offers on the giveaway page at Leawo -- the LEFT offer is iTransfer, the RIGHT offer is DVDRipper, try again.

Paul,

Expand/maximize your browser's window.

The "Get It Now" tab for the DVD Ripper should be now visible to you (on the right side of that window).

Cheers,

consuella

consuella, I have opened up the link in full screen on Chrome, MS Edge, and Firefox and I don't see anything for get it now under the DVD Ripper software. It only appears under ITransfer.

consuella I finally found it. You have to click on "Get Win Now" for the drop down box to appear. It automatically appears for ITransfer.

Debra Williams, the only place on the page referred to in the link provided in the "Read Me" file shows just a "Get It Now" button under ITransfer. I put my name in the form and was provided with a license number. On the activation screen, I am getting, "Invalid License (100201). Did you get two codes, one for Itransfer, and one code for DVD Ripper?

[ Glen Hallstrom ],

Go back to the giveaway page at Leawo and click on the RIGHT HAND OFFER, you probably clicked on the LEFT HAND OFFER which is iTransfer, not DVDRipper -- try again.

Yes, it is any good.

Phillip Lipton, Yes, works fine and does a decent job ... Try it and form your own opinions.

Mangina, that depends on the software.

Haven't looked at it yet, but if it's trialware and not the full software, then yes. Just an extended trial.

It's it's the full software, a lot of software is subscription-based these days, and that would make this a giveaway.

Whether subscription-based software is a good thing or not, though, is an entirely different discussion.

Mangina,

Although a version-lifetime giveaway is always preferable to any other, I don't think most people would find it unreasonable to have a 12-month licensed product. Anything less than that, I'd also regard that as an extended trial. But 12 months' free usage is long enough to decide if the software is worth buying.

Thanks, then, to Leawo for offering this, as my experience has been that its ripper is just as good as others. Unfortunately though:

Leawo's habit of bundling its apps into a "suite" means that today's download is over 100Mb, 80% of which will not be usable (unless purchased from Leawo.) I know disk space is nowadays as cheap as it gets, but I'm not in the habit of cluttering my drive with stuff (a) I don't want (b) never asked for and (c) don't wish to be reminded of every time I open the program and see five other "modules" on screen that are irrelevant to the task upon which I'm embarked.

If Leawo wishes to promote its ripper on a giveaway, then it should do just that: it's the single product in which folks might be interested in using, not the entire store.

TO ALL USERS: DOWNLOAD the program "IQMANGO DVD RIPPER.

IQMANGO is free. You can put a DVD in, and then it will rip it to a folder which lets you then BURN it back to another blank DVD. IQMANGO next allows you to rip the DVD to files, movie files, like .avi and mpg files, which you could click on an just play on your pc using your video player like VLC or Windows media player. 3rd, IQMANGO can CLONE a DVD. You put in the DVD, click clone, and then it reads it, ejects the dvd, you put in a blank one and then it copies it to a new copy of the DVD. So now you have 2. Give 1 to a friend. IQMANGO is free. there is no 1 year expiration or anything. in fact no charge whatsoever. Google it. "IQmango dvd ripper". They also have another utility IQMango converter which is also free and lets you do all kinds of manipulations and video format conversions.

CEO of IQMANGO:

Neat little promotion there. But this comment thread will get really tedious if huckstering "TO ALL USERS" posts start appearing here from CEO Wondershare, CEO Ashampoo, CEO Engelmann etc et al.

I have NO relation to IQmango. whatsoever. I am CEO of a systems integration corporation. Not IQMANGO!

MikeR, Also not everyone has fast, unlimited internet available. For comparison the Win X dvd ripper has a download of only 32 MB.

CEO,
Went to site and THEY have all kinds of "stuff"......including a PACKAGE DOWNLOAD of all of their pgms..........gonna give it a try since it appears to "do all"........better yet......it's all FREE.

[ Woody ] ( and Leawo and competitors if you're reading ),

I prefer Leawo's default QAD quick and dirty storage scheme of automatically creating a new directory when saving CD/DVD movies, compared to DigiArty WinXDVD which dumps all disks into one directory unless you say otherwise every single time you copy a disc,

... but DigiArty WinXDVD names each file with the disc name + track number, whereas Leawo just writes the track number, same for all discs, beware of accidentally mixing directory copies or needing to recover a crashed disk with dozens of "track 1" files with no other identifier,

... yet with either, you need to look at the largest file to know which is the main movie, and which are probably trailers and "the making of ..." stuff.

Speed and quality wise, they are capable of being equivalent,

... DigiArty WinXDVD requires engaging the
"[ ] Use High Quality Engine"
option to match Leawo default quality, then DigiArty WinXDVD loses it's superior speed claims.

My challenge is getting
-- the smallest file
-- with acceptable image quality,
-- full width screen ( no black borders left and right in the video itself ),
-- and subtitles, especially for British mumbling, which I also playback at -20% speed and I still have to stare at the screen to read lips!

We all have different requirements.

Mine are
-- enjoyable viewing qualities on a cheap 50" 1,920 x 1,080 LCD, carefully detuned ( no sharpening or saturation, and so on ),
-- uninterrupted playback smoothness via an old 4 GB Windows 7 PC running at ~2,000 MHz dual-core, with whatever modest HDMI controller I can find,
-- packed, efficient file storage,
-- file reads smoothly over our 10/100 network,

... 480p is often satisfactory,
... 720p is often an unasked-for default,
... 1,080p is overkill,
... I'll probably archive all watched movies down to 480p, and toss any larger copies.

I occasionally watch a movie on my cell phone, where small files with subtitles are a must as I sit in the boyfriend chair while shopping with my partner,

... but we have cabled the phone into a hotel display to watch our in-hand movie choice rather then pay for rental movies, so even phone-size copies seem to smoothly extrapolate up on modern displays.

Your mileage may vary.

None of the DVD ripping software I have found create separate subtitle files ( CORRECT ME FOLKS IF YOU KNOW OTHERWISE ), drat, so I always save my ripped files with subtitles in the movie itself, at least they are time-coordinated, though they cannot then be turned off, BUT sometimes they are inside the image frame, and sometimes they are below the image frame in a black area, and neither program has any way of telling me in advance if I can control that, so I have to record a few minutes, stop, then watch to see if I prefer one program or another's positioning of subtitles, then record fully with the program that pleases me most.

None have controls to equalize volume or normalize image contrast or control speed, so I use various playback programs, and sound-card settings to effectuate those controls during playback.

None have intelligent "ensmallening" settings, that is, none have a way of offering a range of smaller and smaller file copies.

They may offer different frame rates and different resolutions and different audio sampling and different encodings for video and audio,

... but they do not tell you what is the original source setting for each of those,

... so if you want to create a smaller file,
---- you have to independently measure an original movie's source information,
---- then come back into the controls and try to select a lower setting for each:
-- resolution,
-- frame rate,
-- audio sampling,
-- encoding scheme for video and audio,

... and hope you get a smaller file, sometimes I get a larger file when selecting what I thought were ensmallening settings, drat -- do-over.

None have intelligent compression information or controls, so you have to record a movie multiple times using each codec in turn, and then compare the results ... now I just accept defaults and take what they produce.
