This is the Abcc DVD to Zune, iPod, iPhone, 3GP MP4 Ripper. This is freeware from our friends at Abcc Software.

It allows you to encode or rip DVD video to MP4 or 3GP and to extract DVD audio to MP3 (which can can in very handy for anyone wanting to take a track from a music video etc.),

The installation is very fast, the file size just over 10MB which also includes a codec pack as shown in the screencap below. [more after the jump]

We found the software’s interface to be sleek and stylish but to our disappointment we discovered that you would not have the option to batch covert as that was only possible using the Shareware version with limitations or the option to “Order Now”. Of course this is something we would advise against since there are many opportunities to get actual freeware online for doing this.

Anyway,  we selected “Use the Free Version”.  [more after jump]

As you can see, even with the free version its still pretty feature rich. Albeit slow, perhaps too slow for our taste.

The bottom line here is that you have the option of using it as a freeware program, however, it’s not fully functional (we hate that), and even worse, it was slower than other free software we’ve found that can do the same thing.

If you still want to give it a try, you can download it here or visit the authors site here.
