Q1. MacX DVD Ripper Pro Won't Open
"I just purchased the Macx DVD ripper pro. I want to have exact copies of my DVD movies but when I download the software on Mac, Macx DVD ripper pro is not opening. When I click to open, it loads for a bit then freezes, or it loads and nothing happens. But the ripper shows up in the task manage process..." If you can't open MacX DVD Ripper Pro properly, here are some fixes:

Q2. MacX DVD Ripper Pro Not Ripping Entire Movie
Another most-complained problem is that MacX DVD Ripper Pro not ripping the whole DVD movie. Unlike those not ripping entire movie problems with other ripper like HandBrake, which may shows 0.01% and immediately says encode complete (to fix the problem, you can try to switch 4GB to Large File Size, or it will be a common error to rip protected DVD with Handbrake), the MacX DVD Ripper Pro may stop rip the movie at half or certain part of the movie.
First, if you're constantly being allowed to rip the first 5 minutes of a movie, that may be because you're using the trail version, which imposes a limit to allow 5-minute ripping only, or you haven't upgraded the software correctly. If so, free download latest version.
1. There might be bad sections or data damage on the DVD. You can cut the corrupted part with its trimming feature and continue ripping the rest movie.
2. MacX DVD Ripper Pro won't rip whole DVD if the disc is scratched or damaged. So check if the DVD disc is fine and take necessary measures to alleviate. If you're at lost, check the guide on how to copy damaged DVD.
3. Check if you've set your computer to Sleep Mode. When the drive goes into sleep mode and stop working, MacX DVD Ripper Pro can't write data anymore and will cause not ripping whole dvd error. Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and slide the sleep to Never or select "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off".
4. Switch to DVD to ISO backup mode to make an ISO copy first. Then convert the ISO files to the format or device you originally want. This will solve any problem caused by intact DVD information.
5. Check if there are any hardware problems like CPU overheating.
Q3. MacX DVD Ripper Pro Keeps Crashing
Handbrake users may crash often whenever they manage to rip protected DVDs, as the free DVD ripper lacks the ability to deal with encrypted discs. Also, there are some users experiencing MacX DVD Ripper Pro freezing, crashing or quitting unexpectedly problem with certain discs. But the causes to MacX DVD Ripper Pro crashing are different to that to Handbrake or other rippers, and those problems can be solved.
1. MacX DVD Ripper Pro is able to remove most popular copy protections. When MacX DVD Ripper Pro keeps crashing or gets stuck with tough discs, like the movie I Am Wrath, check the Safe Mode box on the bottom right corner of the interface, which will solve most MacX DVD Ripper Pro not working problems caused by strong DVD protections.
2. Handbrake is very CPU intensive which may result in high CPU temperature. The ripping can keep all 4 cores running at 95+% usage and have Handbrake come to crash. MacX DVD Ripper Pro support Intel's QSV tech to speed up the ripping, while you can selectively choose the number of cores for the ripping from 1 to 8 with its multi-core CPU feature.

Q4. MacX DVD Ripper Not Working with Subtitles
There are users have problems when they rip DVD with subtitles, reporting MacX DVD Ripper Pro with missing subtitles problems. For example, "I'm using MacX DVD Ripper Pro to rip a burned-in DVD to video files such as QuickTime or AVI. However, the software will recognize all the subtitles (Nepalese, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili, and French) except Amharic. I try Handbrake, it doesn't work either."
1. For most DVD rippers, they can recognize more common languages; MacX DVD Ripper Pro is no exception. If you're using MacX DVD Ripper Pro with no subtitles in certain language, you can rename the Amharic subtitles to English. If you're ripping a purchased DVD with multi-pile languages, make sure you have checked the Forced Subtitle option.
2. Select copying DVD to ISO files, it will make a 1:1 copy of the full information in the disc, including the video, audio, subtitles, and other data. Then you can convert the ISO files to see if it contains the subtitles.
