Downloads
RipFoundry-Windows-v1.1.0-portable.zip— recommended for most users. Extract the entire folder to a permanent location and runRipFoundry.exe.

Required media tools
The portable build includes RipFoundry itself, but media tools are installed separately:
- MakeMKV for DVD scanning and ripping
- FFmpeg and FFprobe for 1080p processing and media validation
- HandBrakeCLI when using the Enhanced DVD option
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.
