The file can be played over the network or on a USB thumb drive, hard drive, etc.Ĭome across for this task is WinX DVD Ripper Platinum - it's been around sinceĢ009 and has over 70 million downloads. This file format is then playable on other devices, including PCs, Tablets and Smartphones - whether it's Windows, Apple or Android. There are lots of programs out there that will copy an entire DVD and convert it into a single file format (such as MP4 or AVI, as you've noted). Is there a program that you know if that can handle converting my DVDs into a single file so I can play it on multiple devices, including my new ultrabook when I get it?

The problem is that many of the DVDs I own are from different regions, plus they are copy protected, which means I can't just copy them to my hard drive. As such, I'd like to convert my DVDs into AVI or MP4 (for example) so I can watch my favorite media on the go. I plan on purchasing a thin ultrabook laptop (with no DVD player) soon. As such, Microsoft has dropped all support for Windows 10 DVD playback in Windows Media Player. I researched this issue and it appears that this 'feature' was removed on purpose because newer PCs and laptops do not have DVD players. In Windows 7 it worked without a problem. I just upgraded my PC to Windows 10 and I noticed that Windows Media Player no longer plays DVDs in Windows 10.
