Converting DVDs


The era of the DVD disc is coming to an end, and not all homes now have a DVD drive. Make your favorite movies future-proof by backing them up to your computer.
 

Open DVD

  • Insert the disc into your DVD drive. If you have an external DVD drive, connect it to the computer.
  • Click Add Media in the upper left-hand corner of the window.
  • Hold your mouse pointer over Add DVD.
  • Click the disc name in the menu that appears. If you don't see the DVD in the list, click Open DVD and find the DVD location.
Tip: some DVDs are protected from illegal copying and cannot be converted. Movavi Video Converter Premium is not intended for copying protected media.  
 

Choose video format

  • In the lower part of the window, click the Video tab to see a list of video formats.
  • Choose the group with the format you like.
  • Click that format and pick a video resolution. To convert with the original resolution, choose the line marked with "Same as input".

Choose files and streams (optional)

Many DVDs come with bonus clips, as well as a number of subtitle tracks. Select just the files you need to save disk space:
