Ashraf's Note:

Web of Trust and SiteAdvisor give red and orange (respectively) rating to the website of the developer of Aplus Total DVD ripper. I checked out the ratings and I found that the WOT ratingwas the result of very few ratings. In other words the WOT rating was not very convincing so I am going to say that rating may of been by a competitor and does not necessarily have to be true.

As for the SiteAdvisor orange rating: that is not because the developer's website is phishing or dangerous. That is because some of the programs by Aplus change your homepage upon install and SiteAdvisor does not like that. However I checked out the rating for DVD ripper and SiteAdvisor gave it a green, i.e. DVD ripper does not change your homepage.

Further more, please note this review is for informative and educational purposes only. I am in no way encouraging piracy or any other sort of illegal action. Please only use Aplus Total DVD ripper within the laws of your country. As far as I know, in the USA we are legally allows to only make backups of DVDs we own. I am not responsible for any illegal activities done by Aplus Total DVD ripper.

-------------------------

The Good

  • Fairly straightforward and simple to use.
  • Allows you to rip a DVD or convert DVD video files already on your computer.
  • Allows you to rip/convert to many output video formats.
  • Has "profiles" for iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc.
  • Works fairly fast.
  • Gives you a fair bit of control over your output video in terms of settings (resolution, aspect ratio, audio bitrate, etc.)
  • Can bypass most (if not all) kinds of DRM protection and region locks.
  • Detects and skips the commercials at the beginning of DVDs and "fast forwards" to the actual DVD video.
  • Supports the high quality H.264 codec for .MP4s.
  • Can rip just the audio.
  • Good output quality.

The Bad

  • Very computer resource intensive.
  • Lacking a "keep original resolution" option.
  • Update: For some reason output is always only 320x240
