Which is the Best DVD Ripper? Format Factory VS Leawo DVD Ripper

When it comes to optical disc storage media, DVD still remains a mainstream in market. Believe or not, in Amazon, about 584 thousand DVDs are on the shelf. However, DVDs can only be played on DVD player or computer. When you are out of home or office, it is unlikely you will carry a DVD player to enjoy a movie. Who the hell will take a DVD player with you when so many light and portable devices are at hand? For certain, people would try to rip and convert their DVDs to iPad, Kindle Fire, Samsung Galaxy, and other portable devices.

Then another problem occurs: Which DVD ripper is the better one? Format Factory or Leawo DVD Ripper?

Here, let us make a comparison between Format Factory and Leawo DVD Ripper.

Leawo DVD Ripper: Window & Mac

Leawo DVD Ripper

Comment: As for most common users, they will think Leawo DVD Ripper has a more delicate UI. So do I. The UI of Format Factory sort of reminds me of Win 98. Maybe a few users will like such “old memory” ones, but obviously I will never be one of them.

Format Factory: MP4, 3GP, MPG, AVI, WMV, FLV, SWF etc.

Comment: Format Factory claims that it supports almost all the video formats, and Leawo DVD Ripper also announces that it can handle more than 180 different video formats. As a matter of fact, for common users, they can both fully satisfy our needs since we only use several mainstream formats in daily life. Personally, in terms of formats, the result should be even between them.
