No comments but 80% THUMBS DOWN already...come on... this GAOTD is an excellent tool every mobile phone "junkie" should have in his/her arsenal. It's very easy to use (you don't have to do anything since it automatically decrypts any commercial and protected DVD you may come accross) and highly customizable, since it enables users to configure the resolution, codec and the video/audio quality. So there's no point to give it 80% THUMBS DOWN!!

2 huge THUMBS UP from me!!

I have used one of their companion products, DVD Copy, which for me has been the only product that I have found that has never failed to copy a DVD, despite many other more popular and more well known products used by many, which have not been as consistent in my experience of use.

Format Factory is something that often gets mentioned and for what it does, it is good and of course free.

DVD copy protection removal is not supported by Format Factory though, so cannot be compared with something that does.

Having tried Longo DVD Ripper a couple of times now, it seems to do what it says on the box.

Nothing fancy, just a solid job of ripping and conversion, which is all that it claims to do, without unnecessary bells and whistles.

Longo has poor customer service. I contacted them in regard to their DVD Copy software, and I received a return email in broken English, telling me there was no way to help me so I have to pay for a new version. In my experience, good customer service doesn't mean telling you to buy something you don't need, but rather making an effort to resolve the existing issue first. I resolved the issue myself, and will stick with the DVD Copy program, but will avoid adding more Longo products to my media software library because of the customer service issue.

Thank you #4 (xpurt). It saved me a whole 5 nano seconds in reading time but did nothing to add to the translation. Now, can you write it in Greek and Russian??

I had to disable Norton to install. It works but it will not be my favorite DVD ripper. It has a very plain interface and can not change the size of the small window and no basic editing tools. If I was paying for it i get the Aiseesoft ripper better because it has some basic editing tools for the same price. If you don't have a DVD ripper this will do the job for you.
