Overview

Do you want to rip video content from your Blu-ray discs or DVDs? If so, you can do this with an innovative tool called StaxRip. It features a series of demuxers, muxers, encoders, and decoders which make ripping movies possible. Not only that, but you can convert the ripped content into a variety of different formats. Choose a format that is user-friendly to the device you want to play it on, such as Xbox, iPhone or PC.

The only features you need on your device are .NET Framework and DirectX. The files of StaxRip can be extracted to any folder. Just run the executable file in the folder to get started. It can be run the app from any storage area, whether it’s from your hard drive disk or pen drive.  The great thing about this app is that it won’t alter the Windows registry whatsoever.

Choose the Output Profile

The Stax Rip interface doesn’t look like anything special. The appearance is fairly standard, so it’ll be easy to figure out. You first choose the output profile, such as XviD, Xbox 360, WebM, PS3, iPhone, iPad, DivX Plus, or x264. Each profile template is designed with enhanced settings to accommodate the playback for that specific device. Alternatively, the encoding mode can be selected between a reduced file size with poorer video quality or a greater file size with the better video quality.

On the upside, each setting can be customized if you want. Just choose the appropriate image filters, such as resize, noise, crop borders, and deinterlace, and the height and width of the resolution. In addition, choose the targeted device that you will be using and the quality level that you want.

Ripping the Movie Content

The app allows you to rip movie content from DVDs, Blu-ray discs, or Blu-ray folders. Just use the MakeMV feature to do this. And if you have ordinary video files in formats like .mov, .avi, or .mpg, you can convert them too. This can be done via batch mode or from the folders or directories which contain those video clips. And if you want to merge several videos into one file, you can do that as well.

When you’re working on a project in the app, you can save the project as its own file. Then you can just open the file to resume your project at any time. Media files can be previewed, batch executions of multiple tasks can be conducted, and you can manageencoders, decoders, demuxers, muxers, and filters. You can even change the expert settings of paths, subtitles, audio, images, filters, reminders, and compressibility checks.

Conclusion

When we tested the consumption of RAM and CPU, it came out fair. StaxRip was swift in fulfilling conversion tasks and it didn’t cause the operating system to create error dialogs or have symptoms of hanging or crashing. The tool’s biggest disadvantage is that it’s geared more toward advanced users rather than novices. But if you want a powerful movie ripper tool, then you’ll find great strength in this one.
