After all, I can’t even remember the last time I opened Music Player.

    With Intel Quick Sync Video being enabled, i used Aimersoft DVD ripper to convert a 2-hour DVD movie to H.264-based 720p video for my Galaxy S7, impressively, i got the resulting video in only 30 minutes. The resulting video keeps good picture quality and plays smoothly on my S7.

    I downloaded this DVD ripping software to rip my copy-protected Disney DVDs, and it worked on most of them except for the strongly encrypted DVD’s. Not bad for me.
