    How to Convert DVD to MP4: 14 Best & Free Methods [2025]

    DVDFab DVD Ripper functions as a high-performance DVD to MP4 converter for archiving physical media. In 2025 performance tests on Windows 10 (equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti), the software converted a standard 110-minute DVD to H.264 MP4 in 5 minutes and 31 seconds. This speed is achieved via native NVIDIA CUDA and Intel Quick Sync hardware acceleration, which allows the tool to process discs approximately 2x faster than HandBrake (12 minutes 28 seconds) while automatically resolving common read errors that cause open-source alternatives to fail.
