This $59 lifetime subscription lets you digitize any DVD

TL;DR: Digitize your DVDs with a lifetime subscription to DVDFab DVD Ripper on sale for $59 (reg. $84.99).

At any point, streaming services can take down your favorite movies and shows. Physical media like DVDs are one alternative, but what happens when you want to watch a movie on your phone? If you want the permanence of physical media with the convenience of digital, check out DVDFab. This simple DVD Ripper copies the movies from your DVDs so you can watch them as easily as you would on any streaming platform, and right now, a lifetime subscription is only $58.99 (reg. $84.99).

You start by loading a DVD from a disc, folder, or ISO file. DVDFab detects copy protection like CSS, region codes, or analog guards and decrypts it in the background before ripping. From there, you can convert to common formats like MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, or even just audio formats such as MP3 and AAC. There are profiles for phones, tablets, streaming boxes, and game consoles, so you can pick something like an iPhone or Roku preset instead of guessing at bitrates and resolutions.

If you care about quality, there is a lossless mode that copies video to MKV with 5.1 AC3 audio in a 1:1 style output. If you want to save space, you can compress with minimal quality loss and tweak codec, bitrate, and resolution yourself. GPU acceleration support for things like multi-core CPUs, NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel Quick Sync helps keep rip times down, especially if you are working through a stack of discs.

There’s also a basic editor. You can trim and crop, merge clips, adjust brightness and contrast, add a watermark, or insert external subtitles. Subtitles can be extracted as SRT files through OCR so media servers like Plex or Kodi can read them, and metadata files can be generated to keep big libraries organized.

For anyone serious about backing up a DVD collection, the task queue lets you line up multiple discs so the software moves from one job to the next without babysitting.

Watch what you want without worrying about a streaming service taking it down. Get a DVDFab DVD Ripper Lifetime Subscription on sale for $58.99.
