72% THUMBS UP in a blink of an eye...OLE'!!

Proxies proxies + proxies + proxies ==> 72% THUMBS UP!!

Better features is it's ability given to users to full control their output settings (bitrate, resolution, codec etc...) when batch processing

BIG CONS: It cannot store the output as DVD folder or ISO...and, as far as I'm concerned, this is a very important feature any good DVD ripper should not miss, since most of the time a DVD ripper is used to backup a DVD.

Besides that it cannot bypass the "Disney X protection", a task which can be done even using some freeware (see below for more details).

So in my view this GAOTD is a good DVD ripper but not a great one (for sure it's worth much less than 72% THUMBS UP, let's say 50% THUMBS UP!!!).

THUMBS DOWN from me for the very bad "policy" followed by this company aimed at cheating GAOTD users by giving a ridiculous amount of THUMBS UP whenever a Aiseesoft GAOTD is released here, probably by using several different proxies.

BETTER FREE ALTERNATIVES

* BDlot DVD ISO Master
Unlike this GAOTD this terrific FREE utility helps you backup ANY protected DVD to a cross-platform ISO image 1:1 copy, compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, and Unix, without any remarkable video or audio quality loss.
Then, once you have created the ISO IMAGE, you can easily burn it to a DVD/CD/Blu-ray disc at high speed, or play it by the majority of media players out there (PotPlayer, VLC, Mplayer, DAPlayer etc...), or better yet watch it on a virtual disk drive after mounting the image over it using a FREE DVD ISO mounter like "Gizmo Drive".
This is one of the few FREE tools out there able to unlock DVD region codes and defeat ALL those bloody copy protection and well-known damn restrictions which make a DVD copy pretty much impossible, such as CSS, CPRM, CPPM, APS, UOPs, ARccOS, Rip-Guard, and, unlike this GAOTD, Disney X protection.
And with this magic FREE tool you can forget quality loss due to burning errors once and for all, since it also sports an unique "Error Proofing Technology" designed to ensure the integrity and sequence of DVD data after burning.

* DVDAux
Cool brand new FREE DVD ripper and copier, which can flawlessly rip DVD contents to various video formats at high speed (supports both NVIDIA CUDA and Intel Quick Sync acceleration technologies) and with a great final quality output.
Unlike this GAOTD, it can copy a DVD not only to a blank DVD Disc but also to an ISO file and DVD Folder without any hassle, with the ability to clip the videos, set video and audio bitrate, resolution, frame rate and aspect ratio, as well as change the output audio tracks and subtitles with ease.

Thanks to its constantly updated technology, it's also able to decrypt and remove even the latest DVD copy protections, including CSS encryption, region code, Sony ARccOS, UOPs, APS, RCE, Disney and much more.

This company does have good programs and I get most of them and they have all worked. How ever what I don't like is that after you download this program ( Giveaway of the Day - Aiseesoft DVD Ripper Platinum 7.1.8 ) and install it it then says you have to down load another file to make it work, Why can't ALL of the files be in ONE download? So I UN-installed it because of that reason.

I second Giovanni’s observation about strange voting outcomes whenever Aissesoft or their multiple incarnations are involved in the giveaway events.
Please also notice, how high- at the time of my posting- Aiseesoft’s score is, and how low, in negative territory, Ashraf’s post is.
Is it just a sheer coincidence?
