How to Copy DVD to PC

1. Install and launch Aiseesoft Video Converter Ultimate

First, this software was chosen to ensure there is no loss of quality during the ripping process. Secondly, it was considered for its lightning speed of ripping files to the desired location.

After the installation, launch the software from the desktop of your computer where you are likely to have the program shortcut.

2. Insert your desired DVD

Your computer should come with a good DVD drive, but in case it does not have it, you can get an external DVD drive.

It will still do the job perfectly as long as it is in a perfect working condition.

So, whether it is an internal DVD drive or the external DVD drive, slot in the DVD containing the file you want to copy or rip and ensure it loads before you move to the next step.

3. Load the DVD to the DVD ripper

On the user interface of the software you are using, click on the “Load Disc” button which is found on the top left of the interface.

This will load the DVD automatically howbeit using either “Navigation mode” or “Parser Mode”.

Either of the two modes will definitely load the DVD to the ripper.

After loading, the files in the DVD will be listed on the interface. This shows that the files are ready to be copied or ripped into the PC.

4. Select your preferred output format

Here, you are to choose the particular files you want to rip. Let us assume the files in the DVD are video files; the software comes with an inbuilt player that can help you preview the individual videos to help you choose the right one.

So, after previewing, you should be able to identify the particular files you want to rip.

The next is for you to choose the output format of the files. This is like converting the files from the original format to your desired format.

But if you are okay with the original format, you can still leave it that way and continue to the next step.

To choose your preferred file format, click on the “Profile” button to select any output format of your choice.

After selection, do some editing if you so wish and continue, else you can skip the editing aspect and go straight to ripping the files.

Some of the editing available to you include cropping, merge, custom effects, enhance quality, cut, etc.

5. Rip the DVD file to PC

After you are done with selecting the output format, ripping location, and editing, nothing else is left than to click on the “Convert” button to complete the ripping process.

This process will be complete within a very short time, so you have nothing to worry about.
