It's hard to repair them if you leave some permanent damages on them, which could happen easily. The best way to protect it would be to get a backup of it. If you don't know how to do it, check out this post below to see how to convert your DVDs to MP4 using two programs: Avidemux and MakeMKV.<\/p>\n<p>Avidemux can't rip DVD itself, that's why we'd need MakeMKV. We will use MakeMKV to rip the DVD and create an MKV video from the disc, and then we'll use Avidemux to convert the MKV video to MP4 so that you can play the movie on both your PC and your mobile handsets. <\/p>\n<p>If you don't want to play the MKV video that MakeMKV produces on your mobile handsets, you might still want to use Avidemux to convert the video to MP4 because, although the MKV video MakeMKV creates is of high quality, the size of it is very large and it's going to take up a lot of storage space on your hard drive. And you can use it to shrink the video to a reasonable size. <\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#part1\"><b>How to Rip DVD with MakeMKV<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part2\"><b>How to convert the ripped MKV video to MP4 with Avidemux <\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part3\"><b>How to Directly Rip DVD to MP4 with Leawo DVD Ripper<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part4\"><b>Leawo DVD Ripper Video Guide<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part1\"><b>How to Rip DVD with MakeMKV <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Some people might want to do all the things with the same program but the hard fact is you can't. In this case, by only using Avidemux DVD to MP4 conversion can't be done. So we need MakeMKV to first help us rip the DVD. And MakeMKv could really do a great job in this. MakeMKV can rip both Blu-ray and DVD. You will have to pay for it after using the program for one month if you use it to rip Blu-ray, but you can use it to rip DVD for free with no limits. And it proudces high quality output videos. The resulting MKV videos are usually in large sizes because they basically preserved all the data in the disc. So you don't have to worry about the quality of the original video when use Avidemux to compress the video.<\/p>\n<h3>Here's how to rip DVD with MakeMKV.<\/h3>\n<p>Insert the DVD disc into your hard drive and launch MakeMKV. The program will soon detect the disc and load it. When it does, you will see a Title drop-down menu on the left side of the interface. Click on the <strong>Title<\/strong> menu and you can see all the titles in the disc. Also audio tracks and subtitles will also in the menu. Check the content you need and choose a folder to store the output video on the right. And then click the <strong>MakeMKV<\/strong> button next to the <strong>Output Folder<\/strong> box to start ripping the DVD to MKV.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><a onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/makemkv_beta.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/makemkv_beta.jpg\" title=\"Rip DVD with MakeMKV\" alt=\"Rip DVD with MakeMKV\" width=\"550\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part2\"><b>How to convert the ripped MKV video to MP4 with Avidemux<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>After getting the DVD ripped to MKV, we can start to use Avidemux to convert and compress it.

If you think using two programs for the DVD to MP4 conversion is too troublesome, there's a program that can get both DVD ripping and conversion done without needing another program. The program is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/dvd-ripper\/\" title=\"Leawo DVD Ripper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leawo DVD Ripper<\/a>. It's part of a media processing software suite that Leawo Software developed and called Prof.Media. Leawo DVD Ripper can rip DVDs with copy protections and region codes and convert them into videos in a lot of different formats. Both MakeMKV and Avidemux support limited numbers of output video format and Leawo DVD Ripper offers you with much more options in that regard. Also the resulting file created by Leawo DVD Ripper is also of high quality.
