LINK FIXED: Download, manage and rip videos with these top-rated apps (94% off)

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this newsletter went out with broken links. Here is the correct link to today's spotlight deal: MacX Media Management Bundle. We apologize for the mistake.

I have a small collection of beloved movies on DVD, but since my wife got rid of our DVD player (without telling me!), I've been stuck.

Luckily, we have an old iMac in the basement with a DVD drive, which makes it the perfect machine for converting movies to a format that can be played back on an iPad, iPhone or Apple TV.

Back in the day, I used to use HandBrake or MacTheRipper, but recently turned to MacX DVD Ripper Pro, an easy-to-use package that makes ripping DVDs quick and painless.

Right now, MacX DVD Ripper Pro is on sale in a 94%-off bundle that includes the highly rated MacX Video Converter Pro, which converts video to macOS/iOS-friendly formats, and MacX MediaTrans, an iTunes alternative for transferring big media files between devices.

It's a killer deal, and your movie collection will thank you.

MacX DVD Ripper Pro

You’ll also get a lifetime license to MacX DVD Ripper Pro, so you’ll be able to harness the power of your Mac to rip all your old favorite DVDs to videos for your Apple and Android devices, or to upload scenes to YouTube. Macworld wrote, “MacX DVD Ripper Pro ranks No.1 fast DVD ripper for Mac compared to similar products in the market.”

Finally, you’ll also get a MacX MediaTrans: Lifetime License. This iTunes alternative gives you the freedom to transfer any type of media among your iPhone, iPad and Mac with ease. Not only that, it’s lightning-fast. As AppleWorld.Today summed up, “It can move 100 Live Photos to a Mac in just 8 seconds!
