Xilisoft DVD to Pocket PC Ripper

Note: This software solution is no longer available for purchase but users can still download it from Softpedia and use it with its specific limitations.

Xilisoft DVD to Pocket PC Ripper enables you to rip DVD movies and prepare them for playback on Pocket PC devices. This is done by converting video clips into WMV format or by extracting the audio stream to save it to MP3, WAV or WMA file type.

The installation procedure doesn't take long, and the only notable aspect about it is that the RM codec must be installed in order for the app to work properly.

It's wrapped in a user-friendly interface with a clean and intuitive structure, where DVD movies can be opened from discs, ISO or IFO images, or local folders.

You can check out the name, duration, total chapters, default output profile and size, along with the status of each title, as well as preview clips in a built-in media player and take snapshots.

It's possible to convert the entire DVD movie or only selected titles, as well as to select a different audio language, subtitle and angle available in the movie.

After specifying and output profile and destination, you can proceed with the conversion operation by applying default settings. Otherwise, you can edit audio and video parameters when it comes to the size, frame rate, zoom mode, aspect ratio, encode mode, sample rate, channel mode, or volume level. Plus, metadata can be edited, such as the title, author, copyright, comment and album.

During the encoding procedure, you can pick the number of CPU cores to use, as well as make Xilisoft DVD to Pocket PC Ripper run in the background in normal or low priority, or only when the system is idle. On task completion, the application can be set to exit, or the computer can be automatically turned off or switched to standby or hibernation mode.

The tool carried out conversion tasks swiftly in our tests while remaining light on system resources consumption. It delivered quality audio and video tracks, without causing Windows to hang, crash or prompt error messages.

To sum it up, Xilisoft DVD to Pocket PC Ripper offers a simple solution for ripping DVD movies to make them compatible with Pocket PC devices, backed by useful configuration preferences. However, the price of the registered edition seems too much.
