    Hi, Patamah, this program works well with copy right protected DVDs. Just make sure you convert the DVD for personal use instead of commercial use.

    I always thought that DivX was the same as WMV but I see that it is two separate listings on the output format. I guess you learn something new every day. Thanks.

    Hello, thanks for using Aimersofr DVD Ripper for Mac. We’re sorry but this Macbook DVD Ripper is not free. It’s a shareware instead of a freeware. You can evaluate it to see whether it can meet your needs before you buy. Once you purchase it, you can get rid of the watermark.  Thanks for your understanding.

    Everything works OK, but there is an Aimersoft watermark in the middle of the output movie. Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your interest in Aimersoft. Your original movies will be no difference, since our product will not change your original movies. Please don't worry about that.
