CNET Editors' review
Combining powerful functionality with a straightforward interface, Easy DVD Rip provides an easy way to transfer DVD information onto your hard drive. In addition to extracting DVD tracks to MPEG or AVI files, it lets you burn VCDs and SVCDs and extract, discard, or merge specific chapters. You also can customize movie settings such as codec, frame size, audio track, and subtitles.
The program performed well in our tests, and the task-based interface was very easy to use. The only counterintuitive aspect of the process is selecting ranges for splitting. Unfortunately, the trial version converts only 10 minutes per track, which makes it impossible to adequately evaluate its performance. Nevertheless, we were impressed with what we saw. Users seeking a hassle-free DVD ripper definitely have a candidate in Easy DVD Rip.
Publisher's Description
From HomeDVDCopy:
With Easy DVD Rip you can convert any DVD to VCD, SVCD, MPEG-1/2/4, AVI, DivX, XviD with just a few clicks--either complete with all the extras or just the main movie only, in selected language tracks and/or subtitles. The conversion engine features four different modes of conversion (Whole Title/Chapter, Chapter Splitting, Chapters Merging and Time Range), and it auto-detects all DVD parameters, minimizing the list of settings making DVD backup a simple task. Furthermore, with a batch-job engine, each title/chapter can have its own settings, independent of the others.
What's new in this version: Version 3.0.801 supports Windows 7 64-bit.

"I am not very impressed with this product"
Version: Easy DVD Rip 3.0.801
Pros
I am yet to find anything positive to say.
Cons
After making my payment, only the preview version downloaded, so I was only able to record 10% of the DVD I wanted to record. Since I asked for a refund I was given another link to download, did that then tried again to download off a DVD, no better.I still have not recieved a refund either.
Summary
Buy something else.

"Didn't give me a Trial!"
Version: Easy DVD Rip 3.0.801
Pros
It didn't work for me so I wouldn't know.
Cons
Gave me no trial period at all.
Summary
The program didn't work for me. I downloaded this program for the first time and after a lengthy download, the program told me my trial period was over and to buy the full version.

"Do NOT buy this"
Version: Easy DVD Rip 3.0.801
Pros
None, I cannot use this software. It's a waste of money
Cons
I believe this company is deceptive. If you try to rip a copyright protected DVD using the trial version you will get a message saying you must purchase the full version. I went ahead and purchased and it will not rip copyright
Summary
I also emailed this company asking for confirmation that the full purchased version would rip copyright protected DVDs with an affirmative response.
These are DVDs that I purchased and wish to rip into my home network for use on various devices. I am not stealing.
Do not buy this product, do not believe them when they say it will RIP any DVD. It will not. -

"Trial Version"
Version: Easy DVD Rip 3.0.801
Pros
There are none
Cons
Ripped the first 10 minutes only, limited functionality (you can't pick & choose which parts you want to rip)
Summary
I am very glad for 'Try before you Buy' - I will not be purchasing this product

"Flakey. Full version not as good as the free trial!"
Version: Easy DVD Rip 3.0.801
Pros
Interface is simple and straightforward.
Cons
It basically doesn't work (on Windows 7 32 bit). Its flakey, crashes itself with C+ runtime errors, refuses to do some disks, and on one occasion caused my PC to do a hard-reset, which it has never done before.
Summary
I will be attempting to get a refund for this, and then find an alternative that works. The strange thing is that the trial seemed OK which is why I bought the full product.
-
"Worst Demo ever."
Version: Easy DVD Rip 3.0.801
Pros
It was a fast download.
Cons
Seriously, I've never used a less functional demo.
Summary
You can only rip 10 minutes to "test" it. And it tries to force you to buy.

Trial is a total rip off. Does not function as advertised.

Do not waste you time with this one.
