Two years ago, I had my first Mac. Today I get my new MacBook Pro. So I am totally a Mac fan now. I enjoy my Mac very much. I always watch movies on my Mac and sometimes rip my DVD movies on it and convert video to another format. Also I make my own iPhone ringtone on it. And recently, I copy my DVDs on it as well. Now I will share my experience with you.

Before we get start, I want to introduce you a really powerful tool:

Part 1. How to rip DVD on Mac
Just click DVD Ripper for Mac on the main interface.

Tick the check boxes(b) before the titles and chapters that you want to rip.
Step 2. Chose output profile and settings.
Selecting output format is really easy, you can chose your output format according to your devices players and the default setting works great.
Tips: Sample rate (Hz) = any value up to 48000 (higher value = better sound quality = bigger file)
Bitrate (kbps) = any value up to 160 (higher value = better sound quality = bigger file)
After setting your own output and settings you can click “Start” button to start your conversion. (The time of the conversion depends on your DVD and the settings you chose.)

Easily click “Add File” to load your video that you want to convert.
