This software facilitates ripping DVD media to be compatible with personal devices.
The software can be launched either from the installation folder, or the user can set it to start automatically when a DVD is inserted in the disc drive. To configure this feature, users can open the System Preferences from the Apple menu and navigate to the CD/DVD preferences pane.
Once the program is launched, the user can access the regular interface that looks like a Finder copy window or the preferences panel. Depending on the personal preferences set, users may choose to not show the preferences window on launch. The window can also be programmed to close after 60 seconds to ensure the automatic feature remains intact. This way, if a DVD is inserted, and the user walks away, the preferences window will close, save new preferences and start the rip process.
If a user wants to rip all files in one go, they can choose to tick all checkboxes. In doing so, they end up with a version compatible with Apple devices, a rip of the main feature suitable for car DVD players or to prevent previews and menu navigation, and an archived version packaged as an .iso disk image for backup.
ZippyRippy is designed to be energy efficient. The software uses an uncompressed version of the main title, which it then converts to other formats. This process reduces the amount of time the disc in the drive needs to spin, which saves time and minimizes energy use. Once the initial uncompressed file is created, the disc will spin down, and the conversion process will commence.
Overall, ZippyRippy is an effective tool for ripping DVD media with ease. Its automatic feature, energy efficiency, and intuitive interface make it a must-have for anyone looking to convert media for personal use.
