How to Rip DVD to QuickTime for Free Playback

Can QuickTime Play DVDs?

QuickTime is a cross-platform multimedia architecture developed by Apple, including QuickTime Player, QuickTime Pro, QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster that can deliver content on Mac OS and Windows computers. Most users are used to watching videos with the QuickTime player, and some DVD enthusiasts also want to paly DVDs with it. So a question arises, does QuickTime play DVDs?

Q: I can't play a movie on a DVD with QuickTime. With the player open, when I go to File and then Open, I get the two Video and Audio folders on the DVD itself.

Q: Well, Windows Media Player won't play my DVDs. I rather use QuickTime Player though, and I have it downloaded and everything, but I didn't see any option to do that. How to play DVD on QuickTime?

You many have encountered with the similar problem and need an effective method to play your favorite DVD movies on QuickTime player. Generally speaking, QuickTime supports the following video/audio formats:

DVD QuickTime

Codecs: MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (Part 2), H.264, H.263, H.261
