Rather than taking $55 to buy a DVD drive ($40 or so) and Windows DVD Player ($15) for an uncertain DVD playback, ripping DVDs to digital with a DVD ripper would make DVDs playable on any media players of Windows & macOS without consideration of DVD decoder, 32-bit/64-bit limit. Besides, you're able to store your DVD discs more securely without unexpected scratches or damages, and extend your DVD lifespan by minimizing the number of physical disc playback.
However, 90% DVD rippers can't do that very well, causing errors like DVD not reading, crashing/freezing, incomplete DVD copy, or poor output quality etc. For that, you might as well try an easier yet more effective one - WinX DVD Ripper Platinum, which digitize any (protected) DVD at GPU (Intel QSV/AMD/Nvidia) accelerated speed, 5X faster than any counterpart.
DVD drive can be the culprit. If it's damaged, your will encounter a DVD read error, or disc drive won't even detect DVD, CRC data error, I/O error etc. In this case, you can buy another DVD drive ($40 or so) to fix the error. And outdated driver causes a stuttering DVD playing or even makes DVD unplayable or unconvertible, since the heavy DVD decode work will be turned over to CPU from GPU. For example, some DVD ripper decoders drop to a rare low fps during decoding/encoding DVD due to the CUDA failing. But if you update the driver up to date, GPU will revitalize for smooth DVD playback.
Windows Media Player doesn't offer a software plug-in that enables the DVD video playback in MPEG-2 format. When you play DVD on it, you'll get an error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the codec is not installed on your computer". In this case, you can install a compatible DVD decoder to slove DVD not playing issue. Make sure you download the right drivers for your architecture (32 or 64 bit).
For using Packman properly, you should not really look at what codecs comes from where, but you should do the Vendor switch. When you are not 1000% absolute sure you did that switch, then please do it first, check again and post again. And maybe yes, then the logs might be usefull.
- by Corey A Misch (Mischcabob)If you've ever downloaded MP3s from one of the other file-sharing services or legal music services like ITunes, and found that those songs sounded like crap, it's because the people who encoded those MP3s didn't know the ripping & encoding mojo you'll learn here. [No, 128-kbps is not CD-quality.]This guide will walk you through the steps of configuring CDex (CD Ripper/Encoder). Yes, there are dozens of them and some believe Exact Audio Copy [EAC] is the world's best CD audio ripper.

A digital video file usually consists of two parts. These two parts are called the "Container" and the "Codec". The distinction between codecs and container file formats is often ambiguous. And they are frequently and mistakenly used interchangeably. This page attempts to clarify this distinction briefly and without going into technical details.
Simply put, a codec is a method for encoding and decoding data and more specifically, a protocol for compressing data, especially video. There are many codecs available out there, each with their strengths, weaknesses and peculiarities, and choosing the right codec with the right settings for the right situation is close to be a form of art in itself. Currently h.264 is the predominant codec on the web.
In comparison, a container is what holds the grouping of compressed video as defined by the codec. A container is also referred to as a format. The container takes care of packaging, transport, and presentation. Containers "contain" the various components of a video: the stream of images, the sound, and anything else. For example, you could have multiple soundtracks and subtitles included in a video file, if the container format allows it. Example of popular containers are OGG, Matroska, AVI, MPEG.
While there are literally hundreds of container/codec combinations, there are two predominant pairings. The MPEG4 container with the h.264 gained widespread popularity after it was adopted as the leading format for iOS devices. Similarly, Google's support for the WebM container and the VP8 codec in the chrome browser ushered in an era of popularity for this combo.
As the digital video landscape evolves, so do the types of codecs and containers. This evolution is usually marked by increased quality and lower file sizes. As screen size and resolutions increase, an evolution that makes containers and codecs more efficient is only natural. That's why we're working hard to offer support for the latest broadcast codecs including MPEG2 TS, Avid DNxHS, Apple ProResHD, Sony HDCAM/XDCAM, and Panasonic DVCProHD.
So there you have it. Now that you understand the differences between codecs and containers, you can work towards finding one that best suits your video project. If you want to learn more about containers and codecs, you should probably look at Wikipedia's page on containers and codecs.
