Well, if you are a bluray movie nut this GAOTD could be the right tool for you, since it looks like able to decrypt most DRM protections out there without any hassle.

Of course this GAOTD is not able to convert video formats other than MKV, but I don't see this as a con because MKV format has many advantages compared to other formats (to AVI or MPEG for instance), such as the fact that it's OPEN SOURCE and supports menus and subtitles tracks, not to mention that it also supports virtually any video &audio format out there and can be played by almost any kind of video player nowadays (PotPlayer, VLC etc...).

Final Giovanni's verdict ==> Given the above FREEWARE this is a SUPER SATURATED FIELD and since we are not allowed to UPDATE any GAOTD for free at least for a few months, a tool like this can be used for FREE just for a few weeks, unless you are willing to pay an extra charge for the upgrade of course. But why do that if "DVDFab HD Decrypter" can do the same for FREE? It doesn't make sense, does it??

HINT: Why not give GAOTD users the ability to upgrade for FREE any GAOTD offered here at least for a few months?

My 2 cents for today's giveaway....

Installed; converted a DVD to MKV.

Despaired at the lack of control over settings.

Final result appeared to contain missing or incorrect ratio information, consequently videos played in most players at the wrong aspect ratio.

Uninstalled.

Registered, downloaded and activated this program on my Windows 8 Pro. Converted my Twilight Saga 3 DVD disc. The program is quite clean and simple. The result is quite satisfactory, high quality and nice synchronization. The only defect is that it took too long to finish the conversion. Yet still a very useful app. Thank GOTD and Leawo.

Downloaded without problems. On installation a strange page (not working) was opened. Registration without problems.

First conversion (Ghibli no Hondana)
track 01: no audio, slow play (from 5 to 11 fps; video playback chops)
track 02: no audio, slow play (from 5 to 11 fps; video playback chops)
track 03: promotion video 1+2 - work without problems
track 04: the video track stops and skips from time to time, audio and video are not in sync,

Tested on Windows 7 x64, Windows XP x86, newest codecs and splitters.

According to the ripped file size, the program only makes a stream copy of the blue ray disc (source disc total size = 38.6 GiB; ripped video size = 36.5 GiB) This would explain also no conversion options, only one output format.

Cons
Almost no configuration is possible. Only selection of audio/subtitle track.
Only one CPU core is used.

(This would be normal if this is only a stream copy and CPU was used only to decode the content of protected disc.)
