VidCoder - Open Source DVD Ripper for Windows. Operating system: Windows 10, 8, 7 (64-bit). Free Download For Mac OS X 10.6 or later. About The Author. VidCoder is an open-source DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Note that VidCoder can rip DVDs and Blu-Rays but does not defeat the encryption added to commercial discs. I recommend AnyDVD, Passkey Lite or MakeMKV to handle this.

Prerequisites
Vidcoder Mac Download
You’ll need .NET 4.7.1. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. If you’re on the latest Windows 10 you shouldn’t need to install anything; it has .NET 4.7.1 pre-installed.
You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work.
Blu-rays and DVDsVidCoder can rip Blu-rays and DVDs but does not defeat the encryption found on commercial discs. You’ve got several options to remove it:
- AnyDVD HD ($122, removes encryption on the fly for Blu-ray and DVD, good support for all discs)
- Passkey for Blu-ray/DVD ($168, removes encryption on the fly for Blu-ray and DVD, good support for all discs)
- Passkey Lite (Free, removes encryption on the fly for Blu-ray and DVD, does not support all discs)
- MakeMKV (Free, requires copying to the hard drive before encoding, supports Blu-ray and DVD)
- WinX DVD Ripper ($60, supports DVD only, requires copying to the hard drive before encoding)
