Convenient playback: You can easily play Zootopia digital copy on iPhone, Android tablet, iPad, Galaxy Tab, Microsoft Surface, TV, HTC, etc., not just DVD players.

tips: You can change the Zootopia movie DVD region code for 5 times before it's permanently locked.
#4 Why is it difficult to finish Zootopia DVD ripping?
Disney DVDs are encrypted with Disney X-project DRM to stop owners from copying the discs and against piracy.
Some well-known film publishers like Disney, Warner, Paramount, etc. have adopted Disney copy protection. The DVD movies including Zootopia DVD from these publishers usually contain 99 titles and are larger than 40 GB in size, which makes DVD copy and backup difficult.
Many DVD ripping software such as K9Copy, DVD43, DVD Cloner, DVD95, etc. on the market doesn’t allow you to remove Disney X-project DRM. So you have to find a workable Zootopia DVD ripper.

#5 Can I rip Zootopia DVD full movie online free?

A few online websites like Zamzar.com and Files-conversion.com doesn't let you upload DVD discs but VOB files. However, when you start to convert VOB to MP4 or other formats, errors occur.

To rip Disney Zootopia DVD, you should also install the free DVD playback library called libdvdcss. HandBrake 0.9.2 or earlier versions are able to access and unscramble DVD encryption. But they are too outdated to support hardware acceleration.
Note: With the strengthening of the Disney DVD protection mechanism, there are many 99-titled DVD movies that fail to rip. If Handbrake doesn't work for you on Windows, you can use an alternative WinX DVD Ripper.
Steps to Rip Zootopia Movie DVD on Windows:
- Download libdvdcss to your Windows computer. (32-bit version download, 64-bit version download)
- Copy the libdvdcss-2.dll file to Handbrake program folder.
- Initiate Handbrake. Select your DVD drive source on the left panel, and wait for DVD loading.
