We usually use the DVD Ripper software if we want to make a back up copy of our DVD content. This software is also use if we want to convert our DVD video for playback on media players and mobile devices.

One of the DVD Ripper software that I like is the ImTOO ,aside from DVD Ripper, they have also DVD Ripper Mac, a video converter for mac that will work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, Aple TV, PSP, PS3, Xbox360, Zune PMPs, Google phones and mobile phones. They also added video profiles for the most recent iPhone 4, so, this is not a problem if you are using iPhone4. Some of the key features of the ImTOO Mac video converter that I find fun to use are the unique transitions in between merged picture/video items, its ability to add audio track to the videos and the capability to split a large file into several by customized split time or size. This video converter is blueprinted to give the fastest and easiest way to translate any video into format optimized for a broad range of media players, mobile phones, or for distribution on the web. Convert standard-definition videos include avi, mpeg, wmv, mp4, H.264, MOV, FLV on Mac

The software is very user friendly, the consumer just choose videos, pick their target device, and ImTOO Video Converter for Mac will do the rest.
