Well, this GAOTD doesn't rip or backup to loseless DVD folder or ISO format, which is or better yet should be an essential feature for any DVD ripper out there...

So why give it an astonishing 80% THUMBS UP??

Once again the GAOTD rating does NOT reflect the real value of the software!!

BEST (and BETTER) FREE ALTERNATIVES

* BDlot DVD ISO Master
Terrific FREE utility which 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 (it takes some time to do that though!!)
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, even 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 ensure to the integrity and sequence of DVD data after burning.

hey...

my bad...forgot to mention this brand-new FREE APP:

http://www.dvdaux.com/index.html

As you can see it supports both NVIDIA CUDA and Intel Quick Sync acceleration technologies and unlike this GAOTD users can copy a DVD of theirs 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 their 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 and much more.

Yes...it's FREE....Simply amazing!!

Enjoy!!!

P.S. Yes, agree with comment N.9....this ridiculous high rating and inflation of THUMBS UP in a blink of an eye sounds very fishy.
They probably use the same dirty tricks played by Aieesoft, namely use several proxies to fool GAOTD rating system!! And honestly this is absolutely ludicrous and senseless, since most of their products are very good indeed!! So why cheating readers by manipulating the GAOTD rating system? And why GAOTD team do nothing about that??

I strongly suspect Tipard and Aieesoft are either the same company or closely related. Again we have a ridiculous inflation of thumbs up votes right from the start that is only found with these vendors. Add to that the obvious planted comments praising the software in the same fractured English. What you get is a company that feels it has to resort to shady tactics to push it's products. That's not a company I trust. Thanks, GOTD, but I'll be passing on this one.
