First of all, I would like to thanks the author to make this tool freeware. Because of this, the tool is rewarded 1 extra pt. to each category.
So far, I have not tried DVDStripper with a DVD with a complex menu structure yet (i.e. For example, CloneDVD choke on Treasure Planet), but for now, here are my observation:
1. Not very user-friendly, but comparing to IFOEdit, this tool save me lots of time, and so it go extra point for it.
2. Does not process your already ripped DVD on disk, it has to rip from the DVD reader. So if you make a mistake not turn-on the backup option, you have restart the process over by re-ripping again from the reader.
3. DVDStripper used lots of disk space, and here's why:
- Because it rip to a special VOB file structure so it can use later with IFOEdit. So you will need at least 7-8.5 GB for a DVD-9 ripping (i.e. for a DVD-5 you wouldn't need this tool anyway)
- After processing your files, and if the outcome is less than 4.37GB, then you wouldn't need any more disk space. But if it's not, then you have to use DVDShrink (or other transcoding tools), so you need at least another 4.37GB. And that's without the backup option turn-on.
So in total, you probably need about 15-20GB of diskspace.
Overall, it's quite an useful tool, once I figured out its quirks. |
