Comparison of DVD ripper software

This article lists DVD ripper software capable of ripping and converting DVD discs, ISO image files or DVD folders to computer, mobile handsets and media players supported file formats.

System support/minimum-requirements, interface & programming

This table lists the operating systems that different DVD rippers can run on without emulation and/or compatibility layer(s) (e.g.Wine under Linux and/or other operating systems are marked as No, mostly noted, but there may be other applications running under emulation and/or compatibility layer(s) which are not marked). Other minimum system requirements are listed; some features (like High Definition support) may be unavailable with these specifications.

Note: Applications with a purple background are no longer in development.
