Rippsy help
Last updated: 29 September 2026
Rippsy saves your home-made DVDs as digital video files. Put the disc in, press Start ripping, and you get a video that plays on your phone, your TV, Plex, or any PC.
It's made for discs you (or your family) made yourself: camcorder discs, wedding DVDs, DVD-recorder discs, and discs burned on a PC. Commercial movie DVDs are copy-protected, and Rippsy won't copy them. See Copy-protected discs.
Start here
- Getting started: install Rippsy and save your first disc.
- Choosing a format: MP4, MKV, or a disc image (ISO).
- Scratched discs: what Rippsy does with old or damaged discs.
