How to Convert DVD to ISO File or DVD Folder

Wondershare UniConverter (formerly known as Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate) is able to turn your DVDs to ISO files or DVD Folders. You don't need optical media or a disc drive to watch your favorite movies using this method because they can be accessed directly from your local hard drive. Here's how to convert a physical DVD into a DVD folder or ISO file:

Step 1
Access the DVD within Wondershare UniConverter.

Launch Wondershare UniConverter, select the DVD Burner category from the left pane, click the Load DVD icon in the upper-left area of the center window, select the Main Movie or All Movies radio button on the DVD Load Model box, and click OK.
