Reviewed by: CNET Staff
AoA DVD Ripper sports an interface simple enough to use without consulting the Help file and powerful enough to batch rip DVDs and convert them for portable devices all in one fell swoop. It can also rip specific and user-defined scenes from movies, making it eminently useful in grabbing a particular scene for further study or enjoyment.
The spreadsheet layout is complemented not by tabs, as is the current style, but by helpful numbered buttons and steps. Export formats include the basics like AVI, WMV, and MPEG, as well as FLV, MP4, VCD, and SVCD. You can also use it to extract audio tracks, great for grabbing those memorable quotes. The audio codec used is user-determined, as is the video codec, giving the solid program a bit of a boost in the customization department. You can also set the aspect ratio and tweak other settings if need be.
Users have noted that their customer service has been quick and responsive in the past, and that the registration code works for at least several upgrades--if not longer. All of this makes AoA a highly recommended DVD ripper. Hopefully future editions will support the nascent Blu-ray and AoA will make it to the next generation of movie lovers.

Version: AoA DVD Ripper SE 5.1.8
Pros: This is so totally easy to use. If you want to watch a DVD on any other medium, this will convert it for you. Also, it separates chapters for those who want to watch TV series DVDs.
Cons: Not for backing up full DVDs with extras and everything. When backing up a movie DVD, it will only backup the movie itself, not any of the extras.

Version: AoA DVD Ripper SE 5.1.8
Pros: I've used various versions of AoA DVD ripper for 2+ years now. Using my initial registration code, i've successfully upgraded to each successive version at no additional cost. Software works like a charm. The only issue is sometimes I have to manually tweak the aspect ratio settings for widescreen or pan and scan movies, which I think is true for all rippers.
What sets AoA apart from the others is customer service. I'm not sure where they're located, but i usually use this program late at night EST. The three times i've had issues and emailed questions, i've gotten a PERSONAL english response within 12 hrs. The last time I had an issue with certain disney movies with a null entry that prevented ripping. Their tech support sent a response to workaround the problem. I don't own much software older than 2 years that i still use, that provides such great tech support, all for only $35. Kudos.

"Well organized, fast, and delievers quality."
Pros: I would like to be able to copy video clips from home recordings onto my computer. And my kids keep scratching their DVD's; I want to back them up to my hard drive. Having tried many of these products. This one actually works, and has many terrific features.
