When it comes to optical disc storage media, DVD still remains a mainstream in market. Believe or not, in Amazon, about 584 thousand DVDs are on the shelf. However, DVDs can only be played on DVD player or computer. When you are out of home or office, it is unlikely you will carry a DVD player to enjoy a movie. Who the hell will take a DVD player with you when so many light and portable devices are at hand? For certain, people would try to rip and convert their DVDs to iPad, Kindle Fire, Samsung Galaxy, and other portable devices.
Then another problem occurs: Which DVD ripper is the better one? Format Factory or Leawo DVD Ripper?
