I used this program and all it does is allow you to watch the DVD. It does not have the chapter and menu.
I have had a great experience with Aimersoft ripping DVD''s onto my iMac, but for some reason I am trying to download a movie and the application quits early and says the task is complete. Each time i try it stops at a different time in the movie, so I wanted to see if you had any suggestions. thanks
Sorry to make any inconvenience. To your case, I suggest you to contact our support team to get professional technical guidance.
The audio doesn't sync with the video. Depending on the settings it's either slightly off or really off, but I can't get it to match 100%. I try to keep the settings as close to original as possible. Is there anything that I'm missing?
Hi, that's probably because the output audio file with the trial version is limited to 3 minutes. You can get rid of this with the purchased version.
I used the free trail and it did work great, but the audio is completely out of sync! Does the audio and video sync up on the purchased download?
Hi, Jemmy. Aimersoft DVD Ripper is well compatible with Windows 8. ^_^
Hi, is the Windows DVD Ripper compatible with Windows 8? I've just upgraded my Computer to Windows 8 and wonder whether your program will work on my new system.
My first reaction after reading this article was Oh-My-God, this was what I was looking for and it was because of you, that I was able to find it. I love movies and always wanted to watch them on my Mac-book, but somehow wasn’t able to. This DVD ripper software works so fast and tends to keep the original print as well, which I really liked it. Thank you for sharing this article!
Worked great with subtitles too. Thanks
