3. Keep All Audio Tracks and Subtitles

Now, you're able to keep all of the audio tracks and subtitles if you set the lossless MKV as the output format. And these audio tracks and subtitles can be selected when you play the ripped movie on the media player. However, it can't keep the name of the audio tracks and subtitles for you.

5. Faster Ripping Speed

To improve the ripping speed, VideoByte changed a core for the VideoByte BD-DVD Ripper. The new version will be 6X faster than before when you ripping the DVD or Blu-ray disc. You need to download the new version and test it by yourself. You’ll be surprised by it.

6. Add A Toolbox

From the main interface, you can see the "Toolbox" section which provided 5tools: Media Metadata Editor (opens new window), Video Compressor (opens new window), GIF Maker, Video Enhancer and 3D Maker.

Toolbox Interface

In general, the new version of VideoByte BD-DVD Ripper is more consistent with the user's habits and the performance is more stable. Whether the DVD/Blu-ray loading speed or the ripping speed has been significantly improved. The highlight is that you don't need to find the main movie by yourself when using the new version. This program will find it for you!

Now if you're a Windows user, it's time to download the new version to have a try.

New Version (Windows) VS. Old Version (Mac)

1. Main Interface

The most intuitive differences between the new and old version is the main interface. Their color of interfaces and layout of buttons are completely different. But it doesn’t affect users to use the program. They are both easy-to-use.

Take the placement of edit function as an example. In the new version, the edit function and clipping can be used by clicking the star-shaped and scissors-shaped icon which are placed on the movie information column. While in the old version, you can directly find them on the top column of the main interface. As for the Preview Interface in the new version, you need to click the playback icon and it will pop up a window for previewing. In the old version, you can directly preview in the program’s right side.

2. 3D Output

In the Windows version (new version), you can only set “3D Red-Blue” and “3D Left-Right” in the main interface. If you need more settings of 3D to make your video more brilliant, you should go to “Toolbox” > “3D Maker” to set up.

3D Maker

In the Mac version, you can directly select 3D output and the effects on the profile. “3D” button in the top column offers the same function with the “3D Maker” in the Windows version.

To Sum Up

All in all, although they have the completely different layout, their functions are nearly the same. You can choose the version according to your computer. As we said before, new version's performance is more stable compared with the old version and we recommend you to use the new one. We will roll out the new Mac version ASAP.
