RipFoundry for Windows 1.1.0

The first public Windows release of RipFoundry provides a guided desktop interface for ripping DVDs locally, preserving the original MakeMKV output, creating optional playback-friendly versions, validating completed media, and safely transferring it to a Jellyfin library.

Highlights

  • Friendly Windows DVD-drive selector with clear MakeMKV disc:N mapping
  • Three processing choices explained directly in the app:
    • Original DVD only
    • Original DVD + Enhanced DVD
    • Original DVD + 1080p
  • Required-tool detection and status indicators for MakeMKV, FFmpeg, FFprobe, and HandBrakeCLI
  • Official download links and manual executable selection in Settings
  • User-configurable local, mapped-drive, or UNC media-library destination
  • Local staging, output validation, and SHA-256-verified library transfers
  • Multi-title selection and TMDb-assisted Jellyfin naming
  • Branded window, taskbar, shortcut, EXE, and About-area artwork
  • In-app About attribution and links to the project repository

Downloads

  • RipFoundry-Windows-v1.1.0-portable.zip — recommended for most users. Extract the entire folder to a permanent location and run RipFoundry.exe. Python is not required.
  • RipFoundry-Windows-v1.1.0-project.zip — source code, documentation, artwork, and local build scripts for developers or users who prefer the Python version.
  • SHA256SUMS-v1.1.0.txt — SHA-256 checksums for both ZIP downloads.

Required media tools

The portable build includes RipFoundry itself, but media tools are installed separately:

Open Settings after the first launch. RipFoundry searches common installation locations and lets you locate each executable manually if needed.

Installation note

Version 1.1.0 is a portable release, not a traditional Windows installer. Keep the extracted folder in a permanent location and keep RipFoundry.exe beside its _internal folder. A Start menu installer and normal uninstaller are listed on the project roadmap for a possible future release.

Because this release is not code-signed, Windows may display a SmartScreen warning when the application is launched for the first time.
