    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!

    Hello, the default setting of Aimersoft DVD Ripper is No subtitle. If you want to keep the subtitles, please select the subtitle you prefer by clicking "Subtitle".

    Hi, how about the subtitles? How can it keep them along?

     Thank you for your interest in Aimersoft software. But I am sorry that it doesn't support the latest DVD now. When our product is updated later, it may support that.
