Rip DVD

The fastest method is to use a powerful DVD ripper that can auto-detect the real main movie title (not the fake ones) from a 99-title DVD. Keep reading and learn exactly how to do that, so you don’t end up with a 30-second clip, a black screen, or the wrong video.
When a DVD has “99 titles”, it doesn’t mean the disc really contains 99 movies. It usually means:
📌 The disc has copy protection (common on some Disney DVDs and heavily protected discs) designed to confuse rippers
📌 The DVD includes many short or broken titles (fake playlists)
📌 Only one title is the real main movie, and the others are traps
If you choose a false title, you may end up with: ripping fails halfway, ripped video only 10–60 seconds long, the wrong movie content, ripped file has no audio or wrong language, or ripped file is disordered.
Many DVD rippers, including HandBrake, will fail to rip a 99-title DVD. So instead of “guessing”, you need a tool that can recognize the correct title automatically.
If your goal is: “I just want the full movie, correctly ripped, with the right title”. Then WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro should be the best choice.
This tool is designed to digitize personal encrypted discs for backup purpose and can automatically recognize the main movie title even when the DVD disc/ISO image/VIDEO_TS folder shows 99 titles.

Insert the DVD into your DVD drive. Open WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro, click DVD Disc, and select your drive.
The program will scan the DVD and list all titles, including the fake ones.
Optional: Enable Enhanced Decryption for stubborn DVDs.
WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro analyzes the disc and automatically finds the main movie title, which is typically highlighted/marked so you can distinguish it from other titles.
You can click the title and play it in the preview window. If it starts with the studio intro and real scenes, it should be the correct title. Otherwise, it can be black, repeats, or lasts only seconds.
Click Output Format, go to "Video", and select what you need. MP4 is highly recommended for the best compatibility.
If you want higher flexibility (multi-audio/subtitles), you can choose MKV.
Click the speaker icon, then pick the audio track you want (English, French, etc.).
Click the T icon to select subtitles. MKV can keep subtitles as selectable tracks (very useful).
Pick an output folder by clicking the "..." icon at the bottom of the interface. Finally, hit "RUN"
When the process is complete, you'll get the full movie from the correct title with the right audio/subtitles.
Now you know how to rip a 99-title DVD the correct way: identify the main movie title first, then rip only that title.
If the disc still refuses to work, turn on Enhanced Decryption and try again—you’ll be surprised how many “unrippable” DVDs can be fixed this way.
You can also convert it to a device-friendly format like MP4 for smoother playback anywhere.
