It is a software program designed to copy the contents of a DVD onto your computer, allowing you to watch it on different devices or convert it to different formats.
The ripper software doesn't modify the physical disc itself, it just makes a digital copy.
Here's why:
* It's a digital process: DVD rippers work by reading the information from the DVD and converting it into digital files. They don't physically manipulate the disc.
* The original DVD remains untouched: Your original DVD will still be in its original state after ripping it.
* Ripping is a separate process: The process of ripping and the process of playing your DVD are independent.
However, it's important to be aware of copyright laws when ripping DVDs. Ripping DVDs for personal use is generally considered acceptable, but ripping and distributing copyrighted material without permission is illegal.
