WinX DVD Ripper Platinum: Turn Your DVD Collection into MP4 Files You Can Play Anywhere
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is a Windows program from Digiarty Software that converts DVDs, ISO images and DVD folders into MP4, HEVC and more than 350 other formats and device profiles, with Intel, NVIDIA and AMD hardware acceleration. The lifetime license for one PC costs $59.95, and a free trial lets you test it on your own discs first.
A shelf of DVDs is a library you can only watch in one room, on a player most new laptops no longer have. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is built for the job of moving that library onto a hard drive, a NAS or a Plex server, one disc at a time, without fuss.

Before you buy
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum rips DVDs only, not Blu-ray discs. It's for discs you own: Digiarty asks users not to rip rental DVDs or copy discs for commercial use, and the rules on personal backups vary from country to country. Run the free trial on one of your trickier discs first, since the user reviews below show that results vary from disc to disc.

Overview
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum reads a disc, works out which title is the real movie, and converts it with your choice of audio track and subtitles into a file for your phone, TV, PC or media server. It can also make a straight 1:1 backup of the whole disc. Digiarty says it has been developing the program for over 20 years and that it handles more than 3.6 million DVDs a year. Version 8.22.4 is the current release, and a lifetime license includes future updates and version upgrades.
Features
Finds the real main title on multi-title discs
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum checks every title on the disc and marks the one it detects as the main movie, which matters on discs that carry dozens of decoy titles. You see each title's length, aspect ratio, audio and subtitle tracks in one list, tick the ones you want, and can merge several into one file. A Safe Mode option is there for scratched, damaged or unusually structured discs.
The main window after loading a disc: Title18 is detected as the main title, with its audio and subtitle tracks, the MP4 target, the destination folder, the hardware accelerator options (Intel, nVIDIA) and the RUN button.
350+ output profiles
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum groups its output choices into general formats (MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, HEVC and more), DVD backup profiles, and device profiles for iPhone, iPad, Android, Microsoft and Sony devices, TVs and game consoles. Each profile has a quality slider from fast to high quality, and you can change the codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate and sample rate yourself.
The Output Profile window, with MP4 Video (H.264 + AAC) recommended under General Profiles and categories for DVD backup, Apple, Android, Microsoft and Sony devices.
Hardware-accelerated ripping
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum uses Intel, NVIDIA and AMD graphics hardware to decode, process and encode in parallel. Digiarty quotes about 5 minutes for a full-length DVD with CPU load as low as 2% on a Windows 11 PC with an RTX 3060, against about 25 minutes with software encoding. Your speed depends on your drive and graphics card, and you can switch acceleration off or set how many CPU cores to use.
1:1 backups in four copy modes
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum can copy a disc to an ISO image or a DVD folder, or back up the full disc or just the main title to an MPEG-2 file, keeping the video, audio and subtitle tracks. A backup protects the original disc from scratches and wear while keeping everything on it.
Subtitles, audio tracks and simple edits
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum lets you pick an inner subtitle track, force subtitles, or add an external SRT file, and choose which audio track to keep. Its editor also trims intros and trailers, crops black bars with presets such as Crop LetterBox, 16:9 and 4:3, and merges chapters.

Benefits
Your collection, everywhere. Once ripped, a movie plays on a laptop without a drive, a phone on a flight, or every TV in the house through Plex.
Discs that last. A digital copy means the original can stay in its case, safe from scratches and disc rot.
One payment. The lifetime license includes future updates, so there's no yearly fee for a job you may only do once.
Real-World Uses
- A family rips its children's DVDs to MP4 so they play on tablets in the car.
- A Plex user converts a shelf of movies to HEVC, which keeps files small on the NAS.
- Someone backs up home-video DVDs to ISO before the discs age further.
- A teacher trims a short clip from a documentary DVD for a lesson.
Who It's For
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is for Windows users with a DVD collection to digitize who want something simpler than a free toolchain. It's not for Blu-ray, and Mac users need Digiarty's separate Mac version.
Usage Guide
- Install it. Download the free trial (33 MB) and run the installer.
- Load the source. Insert a DVD and click Disc, or use Image for an ISO file or Folder for a DVD folder.
- Pick a profile. Choose MP4 Video for general use, a device profile, or a DVD Backup mode.
- Check the title. Keep the detected main title ticked, and choose the audio and subtitle tracks.
- Rip. Choose a destination folder and click RUN.
Tips
- Tick your graphics card under Hardware Accelerator for the fastest rips.
- Turn on Safe Mode if a disc stops partway or the output skips.
- Use Deinterlacing for older TV-series DVDs that show comb lines in motion.
What Users Say
TechRadar: best free DVD ripper for beginners
TechRadar's 2026 roundup of free DVD rippers, by Computing Editor Christian Guyton, picks WinX DVD Ripper (the Platinum Edition in trial mode) as the best for beginners: "During testing, we found it an utter delight to use, with an easy-to-understand interface that shouldn't feel intimidating to even beginner users."
On the workflow: "You can rip the built-in subtitles or embed your own and select which audio tracks should be included; it's all beautifully simple and fast."
Its reasons to buy were a decent range of output formats, adjustable video quality and ready-made device profiles. Its reasons to avoid included no Blu-ray support and confusing licensing.
PCWorld
PCWorld reviewed an older version in December 2012 and found it "very easy to use": "WinX DVD Ripper Platinum worked flawlessly in my tests." It tested the conversions too: "I tried several different formats and all played perfectly."
Its one complaint: "The only negative about WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is the price."
Trustpilot: 3.8 out of 5 from 419 reviews
Digiarty's Trustpilot page covers all of its products. 76% of reviews give five stars and 17% give one star, so opinions split sharply. On the positive side, Harold Patton wrote in September 2026: "I'm in the process of ripping my dvd collection of movies and personal recordings to put on my Plex server." Several five-star reviews praise support, including one from a reviewer whose disc copied after support's third suggestion.
The one-star reviews are about discs that wouldn't rip and slow support. Leone Moffat (April 2026): "I was unable to get WinX DVD Rip to work on either my PC or my IMAC." Kruzey Kymbo (September 2026): "Now it took 4 different back and fourth tech settings to get it to even download on the computer as playable file". And jdmacek (April 2026): "Trust me when I tell you that if make.mkv doesn't rip the disc WinX definitely will not."
(Trustpilot excerpts were read through a page summarizer.)
On Digiarty's page
Digiarty quotes Rick Broida: "This powerful utility can turn your DVDs into digital files for viewing on smartphones, tablets, and optical drive-less laptops. Strings attached: zero." and Mark Wycislik-Wilson: "If you're interested in backing up your DVD collection and don't want to be held back by time restrictions or slow processing, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is the best tool we've tried."
The recurring themes: reviewers like how simple and fast it is and its range of formats and device profiles. The complaints come from users whose particular discs wouldn't rip or needed several tries with support, plus the lack of Blu-ray support and a licensing setup TechRadar found confusing. The free trial is the honest test: if your discs rip cleanly in the trial, the full version will rip them too.
Comparisons
Lifetime license vs yearly plan
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is sold two ways. The lifetime license sold here is $59.95 for one PC and never expires. Digiarty's Premium plan is $34.95 for the first year on three PCs, then $39.95 a year. If you're digitizing a collection on one computer, the lifetime license pays for itself in the second year.
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum vs free tools
Free DVD tools can do parts of the same job, but usually take more settings and more patience. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum puts title detection, profiles, editing and GPU acceleration in one window, which is what you pay for. TechRadar notes that the free trial is already usable, and that it lacks a few of the paid version's features, mainly speed-related ones.
