Download ratDVD 0.6.1117

ratDVD is a program with which a complete movie from a DVD-9 can be compressed to approximately 1GB while retaining all the features of the DVD, such as menus, different viewing angles, different image formats (16:9, 4:3 , Pan/Scan, WideScreen, Lettorbox), etc. For this, the program uses its own .ratDVD container format.
