Reputation

MacX DVD Ripper Pro is recognized for its speed and reliability in handling protected and damaged DVDs, with users praising the intuitive interface and fast ripping times of 5-15 minutes per disc. Criticisms include the paid-only model without a full free version and occasional issues with very new copy protections. It maintains a solid reputation among Mac users for DVD backups since 2010, though some note it's less versatile for Blu-ray compared to competitors.
