With the rapid development and the prevalence of digital media and cloud storage, DVD disc is seemingly retiring from the historical stage. The current dominant trend in personal and home entertainment goes to online real-time streaming or shared cloud resources. That’s true, especially now the powerful 5G is in full swing and 6G coming on the way.
But, different strokes for different folks. Just like the “Vintage style” resurging in the fashion circle, old-timey entertainment manner – DVD is also reviving in certain scale (minority, if not majority). There are still quite a large number of people pleased to collect DVDs (old or new) and to build up their own DVD library. For them, each DVD disc on their DVD shelf is identical to an artwork in an art museum.
If you’re one of them and worry about DVD rot, natural aging, day-to-day disc insert/draw-out damage, you’re suggested to digitize DVD movies and play DVD content on Windows 11/10/8/7 without the DVD disc itself. Thus, you can preserve and playback your cherished classic movies in digital format forever on the computer without using a DVD disc & DVD driver and therefore lengthen your DVD disc lifespan.
To digitize and rip DVDs for playback on Windows 11/10, a professional DVD ripper is a must-have. A solid DVD ripper named WinX DVD Ripper can address your needs. With an advanced DVD decryption algorithm, this DVD ripper for Windows is able to ingest any homemade DVDs and commercial encrypted DVDs, and to rip DVD to MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, M4V, H264, HEVC, VOB, etc. digital formats for playback with Windows 11/10 DVD player software, no DVD disc/driver needed.
