AoA Media's Easy DVD Converter can convert entire DVDs or just the parts you want, and save them in a wide range of formats, including high-quality files, widely compatible file types, and even Flash video for sharing online. It can also extract and save audio tracks from DVD movies. Easy DVD Converter is shareware that is free to try, though the trial version limits conversions to 10 minutes of video. The latest release, Version 3.0, features a new engine, and it's also compatible with Windows 8.
Easy DVD Converter's user interface is small and fairly plain, though it packs a lot in a compact layout, starting with a main window displaying file data under columns we could drag to resize. Strangely, we couldn't resize or maximize the interface, though the main window's scroll bar expands with the column headings. Stranger still, the title bar misspells the program's name as "Ease DVD Converter."
We clicked the Help file and selected Step-by-Step Guide (DVD to DivX) but the page wouldn't open. The Web site link didn't offer much in the way of help, either, though it did offer some basic information about the program's capabilities. But Easy DVD Converter is easy enough to figure out. The conversion process has three modes: Entire, Clip, and Chapters. You simply select Output Mode from a drop-down list, choose or browse to an Output Directory, and press Start. Settings include various video options as well as general System Preferences and Advanced Options. Like similar tools, Easy DVD Converter offers preconfigured profiles for a wide range of devices, but you can also change the settings for each -- something many other tools omit. Audio and subtitle controls complete the layout.
We inserted a disc and pressed Load DVD. The Clip selector made it easy to set start and end times. Despite the trial limit, Easy DVD Converter did a neat job of converting scenes from a DVD and saving them in useful formats. If you like watching movies on your phone or creating animated GIFs to post online, Easy DVD Converter is a good place to start.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Easy DVD Converter 3.0.

"Outstanding product backed by EXEMPLARY customer support!!!"
Version: Easy DVD Converter 2.7.1
Pros
This product is the easiest and fastest way to backup your DVD library to other DVD's or just to your hard drive. You can select the entire DVD or just the main movie with the corresponding language and subtitles!!! It makes it so easy, my 7 year old son could copy his "Madagascar" DVD to the hard drive!!!
The customer support team are extremely helpful, timely, and courteous as they helped me out of a jam with licensing in less than 24 hours!!! Great customer service does exist and AoA Media has one of the best. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
Cons
The only con I can think of is that I can't spread the good word fast and far enough about them. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed.

"Fastest and best burner program I ever used"
Version: Easy DVD Converter 2.6.3
Pros
I'm not very computer literate in this category of copying DVD's and this program is very easy to use. I copied a few DVDs and it took about 35 minutes from start to finish for each DVD. I played them on my new HP computer that has the newest DVD+/-R and also in our DVD player in the family room (which is very tempermental) and they work there too. I'm very impressed and will definitely be buying this software.
Cons
None so far. Will update if I find anything that I don't like.
