DVDFab DVD Copy

To convert a DVD to an ISO image, you can rely on dedicated ripping software like DVDFab DVD Copy to simplify the process. To begin, simply insert the disc, select a specific copy mode to prioritize the core content, and choose ISO as the output format to start the backup. Alternatively, Mac users can utilize the built-in Disk Utility to create a .cdr disc image from the physical media, which can then be converted into a standard .iso file using a simple command in the Terminal.

This guide reviews the best free ISO converters for both creating ISO images and converting them into digital formats. Based on my own testing, tools such as DVDFab deliver the most stable results for encrypted or large discs, while lighter options like AnyToISO and CloudConvert work well for baisc file conversions.
