Tips: When you insert your DVD，DVD shrink will devide the DVD movies into some small files, you can’t know which one is the true movie file, which is the subtitles or ad files. Also DVD Shrink copy DVD with minimal loss of quality, not 100% lossless quality.
We can know the Patriot Player can support the MP4, H.264, DivX,etc formats, which are not converted by above 3 DVD tools. Then, if you want to copy the full DVD, they can’t support too. About the H.265 speed up, these DVD tools can’t complete. So I recommend you the Pavtube Bytecopy, It is available on Windows and MAC platform, it has powerful compatibility with the new Windows or MAC platform. Bytecopy can encode H.264 and H.265 quickly with NVIDIA CUDA technology and AMD. About the DVD protection, it supports to all kinds of region code: UOP CSS, RCE, Key2Audio, ArccOS, FluxDVD etc. There are too many advantages, if you download bytecopy and try its powerful functions, when you love this tool, you can own it forever with $42.
If you are still can’t make sure which one is the best, i make the comparision table for your reference. Also as a user of Mac, go to the link, you can know more DVD ripper for Mac
