A ripper software is a program that enables the user to digitally copy songs/video off a CD/DVD into many different formats
In the beginnig a ripper software only exist for the digital audio technology, after it was use in digital video technology.
HOW IT WORKS
In digital audio technology a ripper is a program that moves a sound sequence from a compact disk onto a computer hard drive as a Wave file, often as a step toward converting it to an MP3-encoded file. The program that converts the WAV file to an MP3 file is known as an encoder. The program that plays the MP3 file is called a player. Some audio products provide all three programs together as a package.
And in digital video technology a ripper, is the same, but in this case the program digitally copy video off a CD/DVD, converting it into a format storable as a computer file like AVI.
