#2 MakeMKV
Developer: GuinpinSoft
Operation System: Windows XP or later, Mac OS X 10.6 or later

MakeMKV transcodes DVD and Blu-ray discs to MKV with most information like all video/audio tracks, chapters of original disc/video source. It’s able to tackle encrypted DVDs and kill all region codes, CSS and other protections.

MakeMKV allows you to select single or multiple/all chapters to convert. The minimum title length (in 120 seconds by default) can be modified to skip some disturbed chapters. Also, the stream service is pushed out enabling you to instantly stream selected item to various players/devices without conversion. It released a free beta version with time-limited functionality in 60 days. This beta version can fully support DVD and Blu-ray.

MakeMKV only outputs MKV making some users have to use video converter to get a resulting file with other formats. Its interface is not so easy-to-understand so beginners may need a guide before using it. But, working as a DVD region killer, it becomes one of the best alternatives for some free DVD rippers (for example HandBrake) which cannot rip copy-protected DVDs.

#3 DVD Decrypter
Developer: Lightning UK!
Operation System: Windows

DVD Decrypter is a famous DVD ripper for copy-protected DVDs, which can kill DVD region codes and other copy protections, including CSS, user operation prohibition, Macrovision content protect and more. It easily convert a region code encrypted DVD to a region-free copy.

DVD disc and main title will be automatically detected after you insert one into DVD drive. Then, you just need to set destination and click the “DVD to HD” image button to start DVD copy process. By default, DVD copy protection removal options have been checked for every mode (File, IFO, ISO Read and ISO Write). You can open Settings dialogue box under Tools and check and reset decryption options. You can also manually set region code with this DVD region killer. Click Tools > IFO > Region Path and then make one IFO file region free or transfer it to other regions (1/2/3/4/5/6 and special 7/8).

DVD Decrypter had stopped developing in 2005 for legal issue. Therefore, it cannot well handle copy protections on newly released DVDs. And, there is no official support for you to fix various errors (for example failed to set data for “DVDDecrypterPlayDVDMovieOnArrival”) or bugs.
