Hello, Hello!

It’s been a while since I’ve taken a look at any DVD ripper and conversions software, but I’m back with winxdvdrip1 another one. I have reviewed software from this company before here, but this is the new version of that software actually. It’s WinX DVD Ripper Platinum and one of the new features is full multi-core support and and a built-in 1:1 DVD copier as well. Also included in this new version is the ability to re-sync you audio and video if there’s an issue, you can also now change the interlacing from normal to progressive scan if you wish.

His story illustrates the dark side of information in the 21st century and confirms our need to ensure that, in our real-time, instant-access world, the information that is spread through cyberspace is both timely and accurate.
