1. Limited lifespan
Generally, manufacturers require that lifespans of DVD-R and DVD+R discs are from 30 to 100 years, and life spans of DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM can be up to 30 years. But we should know that with the development of disc producers, manufacturing methods and materials, we should pay more attention to the lifespans of disc.
2. Enjoy DVD on portable devices
As we all know, more and more people are willing to watch movies on phones or tablet especially when they are traveling. But it is impossible for them to watch DVD disc on most portable players. The main reason for that is there is no built-in DVD drive in phones and tablet. So, it is necessary for us to rip DVD into common formats so that we can enjoy them on iPhone, iPad, Android phone/tablet, Windows Phone/tablet, etc.
3. Access home DVD movies
If you do not want to carry DVD players from one room to another, you just need to rip or copy DVD movies into digital file formats. Then you can transfer them to your computer, TV, phone, tablets, etc. via media servers like Plex or DLNA server.
4. Backup DVD
If you have family videos or the latest Hollywood blockbuster, you must want to preserve them. And, of course, they deserve your time to ensure that your favorite videos will not be scratched, lost and stolen. So it is very important for you to use a DVD Ripper to make a backup of your DVD.
5. Extract content from DVD
The last reason to convert DVD is to extract your loved content. If you like some segments of your movie, then you can extract them from DVD. But you should use them in a legal way.
