Top 2 DVDmate

DVDmate, one of my daily uses for decrypting DVDs, same as Dimo Video Converter Ultimate, lets you convert DVDs locked by CSS, Region, RCE, Sony ARccOS and PuppetLock, without any barriers. It has an intuitive interface and enables you to convert DVD to DivX AVI as well as MP4, MKV, FLV, MOV, MPEG, WMV, etc. You need just simply importing your DVDs, and then point and click. Don't touch the other settings unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Choose whether you want subtitles or not. Choose your language. Deselect everything you don't need. Then let DVDmate do its work. However, lacking of normal popular videos 4K, HD/SD video conversion features along with Blu-ray ripping missing, make DVDmate inferior to Dimo Video Converter Ultimate.

Top 3 DVDFab DVD Copy 

DVDFab DVD Copy is another best DVD Ripper ranking just behind Dimo Video Converter Ultimate and DVDmate. Like Dimo, DVDFab DVD Copy provides a professional solution to read and backup any DVD disc, ISO file or folder to any blank disc including DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL, or copy DVD to ISO file/folder to your hard drive or media server, with flash speed and lossless quality output. However, close users' access to rip any DVDs to video and audio formats playable on iPhone SE, iPhone 6/6s Plus, Apple TV, iPad Air, iPod Touch, etc. for on-the-go enjoyment, which is not limited to Dimo Video Converter Ultimate.

Top 4 MakeMKV

Like its name description, MakeMKV is two click method to rip your DVDs as Dimo Video Converter Ultimate does, and save them in an open source MKV file to preserve most information but not change it in any way. MakeMKV claims to allow conversion of video files and DVDs makes choosing an appropriate one difficult. MakeMKV performs this task well, but its lack of features and relatively complicated interface may make it a less desirable option for average users. The program seems to be available as freeware, however for Blu-ray ripping, its documentation states it is a beta version that will stop functioning after 60 days. And in reading the DVD, MakeMKV took a little longer than other, similar programs, but worked well. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any options for output other than in MKV format, which is disappointing. That's why Dimo Video Converter Ultimate is known to be the best alternative to it.

Top 5 Handbrake

Handbrake is an open-source, multi-platform video transcoder available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. It can input common DVD and Blu-ray source and output only MKV and MP4 video formats. It supports iPhone, iPod, PSP, Apple TV, PS3 as output devices. However, HandBrake alone cannot decrypt and copy-protected or commercial DVDs. To rip commercial DVDs, it needs the help of a third-party software, VLC media player. HandBrake is a total free DVD Ripper for Mac, Windows and Linux, but it is very unstable, and sometimes will crash, bringing much inconvenience to its users. Therefore, HandBrake alternative No. 1 best DVD ripper – Dimo Video Converter Ultimate is highly recommended.
