Do you want to watch your favorite DVD movies on your iPod Touch, iPod Nano, Microsoft Zune, Creative Zen or on your Sony PSP? Or, do you need to rip video or audio from a DVD, DVD-R or DVD-RW to your computer for storage purposes? If you answered yes to either question, then you might want to consider getting a DVD ripper software program.

With this form of software, you will be ale to rip and convert your DVD discs to a format that is compatible with some of the most popular portable multimedia players available, such as the previously mentioned iPod,Zune,PSP and others.

Whatever your portable multimedia device is, you will see that it will likely read MP4 (or sometimes WMV) videos only. Now, when getting a DVD ripping program, the question on what to look for will be one of the first questions that you will likely ask.

When you are looking to purchase a DVD ripper application, you first need to take a look at the specification. Try to consider the ripping speed. You want a program that will be able to rip your DVD videos to the right format as fast as possible. Besides, you would not want to wait a whole day just to rip one movie, would you?

So, keep in mind that the ripping speed is very important.

Next you should try to look for a program that will be able to rip DVDs in batch and in full mode. With a batch mode feature, you will be able to rip specific chapters of the movie. Or, if you are ripping a DVD that contains TV series, you will be able to tip only the episodes you want to rip. You might also only want to rip the DVD audio and not the video.

The next important consideration is the user friendliness of the ripper. If it is too complicated to operate, then you might want to pass up on the software. Look for a DVD ripper program that is easy to use.

The final thing to consider is the manufacturer's support availability and if they offer a demo or free trial version. In the best case scenario, you will be able to try out the program before you buy and you will be able to get email support if you need it.

Remember these tips and you will be able to get the best DVD ripper program for your computer.
