How to rip BBC DVD to MP4 AVI MKV on PC and Mac

I have a previous post on how to change DVD’s aspect radio between 4:3 and 16:9 and the DVD I used as an example is from BBC. As far as I can see, BBC DVDs are quite special with multiple episodes and chapters, somewhat like TV show DVDs. I think I should write this post so you guys can better rip BBC DVD.

I will take the BBC TV series SISTER WENDY as an example because it is typical and BBC kind.  

A BBC DVD Ripper for PC/Mac[Recommended]

The BBC DVD SISTER WENDY is over 15 years old as it was purchased in 2002 and the quality is of the DVD itself is not quick good, so I’d like a DVD ripper that can rip BBC TV series to a video format that keeps the original or almost the original video quality. And, BBC DVDs are protected as well. It’s hard to say, but I think it is special and a different kind of copy protection from Disney and Beachbody. The BBC DVD Ripper must be able to cope with BBC’s special copy protection. Also, the BBC DVD comes with multiple episodes and multiple chapters in each episode, so, it is good to able to merge episodes into one large video or split each episode by chapters.

Among all my requests, AnyMP4 DVD Ripper perfectly meets my needs and thus is recommended to all you guys as the very BBC DVD ripping solution. It is available for both Windows and macOS including the latest ones Windows 10 and macOS Catalina. 

BBC DVD Titles Episodes and Chapters

In the BBC DVD set SISTER WENDY disc 1, there are 6 titles in total. 5 titles correspond to the 5 episodes and there are 6 chapters in each episode, which is clearly shown when being played via VLC player. Title 1-5 are the five episodes and Title 6 is the FBI warning. So, when we try to rip BBC DVD SISTER WENDY, we can check all the five titles for ripping. For other BBC TV series, I suggest you confirm the titles, episodes/chapters first before ripping.
