About DVDFab
DVDFab is a long-running commercial suite of disc and video tools. Its best-known products are DVD Ripper, Blu-ray Ripper and DVD Copy, which read protected discs and convert them into MP4, MKV and over a thousand other video and audio formats, with presets for phones and TVs, lossless MKV passthrough, hardware-accelerated encoding and OCR to turn disc subtitles into SRT files. Newer modules add AI upscaling and SDR-to-HDR conversion, a basic editor, and metadata files for media servers. Each tool is sold separately, with bundles that combine them, and there are free trials and limited free versions. It runs on Windows and macOS. Pricing is the main drawback: the catalogue is large and bundles add up quickly, and some features, like subtitle OCR, are Windows-only.
Best for: People who want one paid tool to rip and compress protected DVDs and Blu-rays for any device.
