Best Choice to Backup DVD to H.264 MP4 for Playback freely

Why we choose to Backup DVD to H.264 MP4 format?

DVD is usually compressed in MPEG-2 codec, while H.264 is the video codec which is widely used for all kinds of devices and offers a better performance in substantially lowering bit rates than previous standards (MPEG-2, H.263, or MPEG-4) with keeping the same quality at the same time. And a digital video encoded with h.264 codec only uses half the space of the DVD standard MPEG-2, making it easy to enjoy stunning HD video without sacrificing picture quality when you face DVDs.
