It happens many times – you want to backup DVD to different file formats like MP4 and HEVC so that you can watch the contents on MAC, mobiles devices or simply stream. The stress could be huge as you juggle many solutions out there. Relax, there is a great solution in the market which I have discovered: MacX DVD Ripper Pro.

MacX DVD Ripper Pro is the best DVD backup software to backup the protected DVDs, home DVDs to MP4, H.264, HEVC, and other video for you to watch the movie on Mac, mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android), or stream the movie from Mac or NAS drive to HD TV later.  Supporting the most advanced level-3 hardware acceleration technology and High Quality Engine, MacX DVD Ripper Pro can copy and convert a full DVD with lossless quality with only 5 minutes where many other applications may take approximately 1 hour.  It supports any type of DVD, including the newly released DVD movies, homemade DVDs, 99-title DVDs, TV series DVDs, workout DVDs, and damaged or unplayable DVDs.

Many features make DVD rippers great. Yes, there is no better solution out there that can help you to copy DVD to Mac. In MacX DVD Ripper Pro, you would find the following superior features which make it the industry-leader and category-kind product you need.

• Level-3 hardware acceleration

With the unique level-3 hardware acceleration tech, MacX DVD Ripper Pro allows the hardware of your computer, if configured with Intel graphics that support Quick Sync Video or GeForce 600 graphics card or newer, to assist in DVD decoding, processing and encoding to the full extent. Therefore, the whole DVD ripping process is accelerated to a new level, without sacrificing the video and audio quality, but easing the burden of CPU dramatically. Test proves MacX DVD Ripper Pro takes merely 5 minutes to copy a 2-hour DVD movie on a Macbook Pro. And the whole DVD conversion process is finished under 10 minutes at a rate of 320 frames per second.

High Quality Engine to preserve original quality

MacX DVD Ripper Pro also ensures the highest possible quality after DVD copying and ripping. This is down to the High Quality Engine built at the core.

In the DVD backup mode, High Quality Engine automatically activates its demuxing/remuxing kernel to copy DVD content, including video/audio tracks, different subtitles, out of the physical discs without re-encoding, and save them onto your computer hard drive swiftly, with video/audio quality untouched.

In the DVD conversion mode, High Quality Engine calls upon Interframe and intraframe coding algorithms, along with advanced cabac/cavlc entropy encoding to reconstruct the DVD content and get rid of temporal and spatial redundancies, in such a way to achieve a more efficient encoding, without losing any information from the original DVD content. As a result, the output video is almost 98% the quality of the original DVD source.

Support any DVD in the market

It is powerful enough to even work on the knotty DVDs, including recently-released DVDs, Japanese DVDs, those pesky “99 titles” DVDs, TV series DVDs, workout DVDs, and even the unplayable DVD DVDs. Unlike many other DVD converters, it also works with non-Universal Disk Format discs.

 Auto choose correct title 

Programs like Handbrake can’t read newly released DVD with 99 titles. While MacX DVD Ripper Pro can auto select the right title instantly without having to manually select a title. Users can now copy the DVD disc or ISO file with no hassle.

Best compatibility

Supporting a wide variety of output formats, MacX DVD Ripper can convert to MP4, H.264, MOV, M4V, MPEG, AVI, FLV, MP3, and even supports the new H.265/HEVC codec. This means you can create movies that will be playable on all your devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android, PSP, Kindle, your Mac, and more.

How To Use MacX DVD Ripper Pro

To use this solution and get the most optimal result, here are suggested steps to follow:

• To copy DVD to external hard drive like NAS or USB but don’t care about the file size: Back up main/full title content in .mpg or .mkv format. You can get 100% original DVD quality and 5.1 surround sound effect. For instance, a 4TB NAS can house as many as 400 DVD9 movies.

• To clone DVD for burning: copy DVD to ISO image. There is no quality loss at all and the DVD structure remains unchanged, which is perfect for burning.

• To backup DVD to Mac’s hard drive and free up some hard disk space: just rip DVD to MP4, MOV. This involves some data compression. But high quality engine ensures almost no quality loss at all.

• To save DVD on Mac with smaller size but higher quality: Rip DVD to HEVC, which is the new video compression standard that is twice as small as H.264 at the same level of image quality.

Do not overlook the day of small beginning. In anything you do, make sure you give your best. By giving your best, you give men and women the opportunities to make a case for your promotion and elevation when you are not there.

I spoke in University of Lagos few weeks ago. Typically, when I visit schools, deans, vice chancellors and HODs typically come. In that UNILAG event, I did not meet many of them.

Immediately, I told my colleagues: we have to do a really good work so that VC would know we came to his school, and possibly in near future, extend an invitation. We like going to schools because the experiences advance our mission.

Today, in a joint letter, the Vice Chancellors of University of Lagos (Prof Oluwatoyin Ogundipe) and Vice Chancellor of University of Sussex (Prof Adam Tickell) invited me to come to speak in a special event the UK university is organizing in UNILAG.

Note this: to advance in anything, do not miss your moments, even when small. If you do well in small moments, men and women would recommend you for bigger ones. Think of the ladder which without the base cannot go high!

Have a great week ahead.

This was originally shared in the Forum – I am moving it to the mainboard.

When favor comes in your life, expect a huge burden associated with that favor. A young lady was informed she would “carry” the Messiah. That was a favor every young lady of her era had wished. But do not ignore the huge burden associated with it.

In the Bible, the Annunciation is narrated in Luke 1:26–38:^[5]

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

In families and careers, favors come with burdens. The challenge comes when you expect favors without the burdens associated with them. Out of all the entry level staff, the CEO had asked you to work with him. That is a favor but never miss the huge burden as your performance is no more filtered.

To be a grown-up, not just a grown-old, you must understand the Burden of Favors.

The same young lady carrying the Messiah couldn’t even get an accommodation in a one star hotel, let alone five star; even during the Child’s presentation in the Temple, the prophecy given to the lady wasn’t a sweet one, but they all add up.

It is ridiculous to yearn for testimony without a test, something has to give in, else what you hope to reap becomes fraudulent. So when men and women are genuflecting and prostrating before you, just know that there’s a huge burden that goes with it; you must live up to that.

Same goes for answering ‘His Excellency’, with all the subsequent long titles that follow it, especially for a president, that’s the amount of burden you are meant to carry. So when citizens blame you for their misfortunes or lack of success, they all add up, you do not need to be agitated or angry; that’s part of why you are ‘His Excellency’. Even a man whose car refuses to start could still blame you.

Again, if you are wealthy and keep whining on why people cannot allow you to enjoy your wealth, for asking for help, well, you can as well become poor, let’s see how many people that would disturb you. Even nations that are favoured have a burden too, no one is queuing up to emigrate to Somalia or Afghanistan.

On Indomie Noodles Strategy, a LinkedIn user connected it to one of the core strategies I have formulated – the One Oasis Strategy: “[One] Oasis strategy successfully executed by Dufil  Prima foods in the Nigeria doddle market. Thank you for the Insight”.

For competitiveness, a company can allocate resources to support its best product (the oasis), providing a pipeline where other internal products can feed from the success of that best product. Simply, in some sectors, if you build your investment around the best product, you will find success, because those investments will have a clear internal “customer”, reducing market risks. In other words, if your new investments are geared to support the best product, and the best product is doing well, it implies the risks on the new investments will be easily managed. Provided the best product continues to flourish, good return on the new investment is assured (i.e. the customer exists, irrespective of the external market). That is the One Oasis Strategy.

[…]

In the One Oasis Strategy, the key element is to align business innovation to favour the best
product in the company on utility, value and cost which over time would help the firm
compete better externally. It is firstly an inward looking management system, and offers a
firm an opportunity to test strategies, models, business systems and production processes,
perfecting them before they are launched for outside customers. Yes, with one oasis, a firm
refines its process, technology and product, positioning it for success.

Amazon has ecommerce (the oasis) and invested on Amazon Cloud (AWS), making sure that AWS was initially focused to make ecommerce better. Dufil has Indomie noodles (the oasis), and everything has been done to make it better. I do think over time some of the elements (in Dufil) which are supporting the oasis will emerge as independent products like Amazon Cloud.
