  • Multiple Ripping Modes:
    • Only largest title (main movie)
    • All titles
    • Titles above specified size threshold
  • Real-time Progress Tracking: Live progress updates during ripping operations
  • Intelligent Drive Management: Automatic ejection after successful ripping
  • Multi-language Support: Currently supports English and German

User Interface

  • Modern WinUI 3 Interface: Clean, responsive design following Windows design principles
  • Real-time Logging: Comprehensive logging with different severity levels
  • Language Selector: Easy switching between supported languages
  • Progress Visualization: Visual progress bars and status indicators

Technical Features

  • MakeMKV Integration: Built on the reliable MakeMKV engine
  • Asynchronous Operations: Non-blocking UI during ripping operations
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed logging
  • Settings Persistence: Remembers user preferences and settings

?? Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Operating System: Windows 10 version 19041.0 or later
  • Runtime: .NET 8.0 Runtime (automatically included with the application)
  • MakeMKV: Download and install MakeMKV (required for disc ripping functionality)

Installation

  1. Download the latest release from the Releases page
  2. Extract the downloaded archive to your preferred location
  3. Install MakeMKV from makemkv.com
  4. RunAutomaticRipper.Desktop.exe to start the application

First Run Setup

  1. The application will automatically validate your MakeMKV installation
  2. Insert a DVD or Blu-ray disc into your optical drive
  3. The application will automatically detect available drives with media
  4. Select your desired output directory
  5. Choose your ripping preferences and start ripping

?? Usage Guide

Basic Workflow

  1. Insert Disc: Place a DVD or Blu-ray disc in your optical drive
  2. Automatic Detection: AutomaticRipper will automatically detect the disc
  3. Select Output: Choose where you want the ripped files to be saved
  4. Configure Settings: Select your preferred ripping mode:
    • Only Largest Title: Rips just the main movie (recommended for most users)
    • All Titles: Rips all titles on the disc
    • Titles Above Size: Rips only titles larger than a specified size
  5. Start Ripping: Click "Start Ripping" to begin the process
  6. Monitor Progress: Watch real-time progress and logging information
  7. Automatic Completion: The disc will be automatically ejected when finished

Ripping Modes Explained

  • Only Largest Title: Best for movies - automatically selects the main feature
  • All Titles: Useful for TV series or discs with multiple features
  • Titles Above Size: Filters out small extras, menu videos, and trailers

  • WinUI 3: Modern Windows UI framework
  • MVVM Pattern: Clean separation between UI and business logic
  • Dependency Injection: Proper service management and testability
  • Async/Await: Non-blocking operations for better user experience

?? Development

Building from Source

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio 2022 (17.8 or later) with:
    • .NET 8.0 SDK
    • Windows App SDK workload
    • Windows 10/11 SDK (19041 or later)

Build Steps

git clone https://github.com/Knabbermann/AutomaticRipperClient.git
cd AutomaticRipper
dotnet restore
dotnet build --configuration Release

Project Configuration

The solution includes two main projects:

  • AutomaticRipper.Desktop: WinUI 3 application targeting net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0
  • AutomaticRipper.Backend: Business logic library targeting net8.0

Key Dependencies

  • Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK: WinUI 3 framework
  • Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection: Dependency injection container
  • System.Management: Windows system management APIs

?? Localization

AutomaticRipper supports multiple languages through resource files:

  • English: Default language (AppResources.resx)
  • German: German localization (AppResources.de.resx)

To add a new language:

  1. Create a new resource file: AppResources.[culture].resx
  2. Translate all string resources
  3. Update the language selector in LanguageSelector.xaml

?? Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit pull requests or open issues for:

  • Bug fixes
  • Feature enhancements
  • Localization improvements
  • Documentation updates

Development Guidelines

  1. Follow the existing code style and patterns
  2. Include appropriate unit tests for new functionality
  3. Update documentation for significant changes
  4. Test thoroughly on different Windows versions

?? System Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 (19041) or Windows 11
  • RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended
  • Storage: Sufficient space for ripped content (varies by disc)
  • Optical Drive: DVD or Blu-ray drive
  • Dependencies: MakeMKV (latest version recommended)

?? Troubleshooting

Common Issues

MakeMKV Not Found

  • Ensure MakeMKV is installed from makemkv.com
  • Verify the installation path is in one of the standard locations

No Drives Detected

  • Check that your optical drive is properly connected
  • Ensure a valid DVD/Blu-ray disc is inserted
  • Try the "Refresh" button to re-scan drives
