Unhappy Mactheripper quits unexpectedly

Allo everyone !

I've been using MacTheRipper for a while to make copies of the DVD's I buy because after a while they do get scratched and they can't be used no more. Since yesterday when I insert a DVD to copy it, MacTheRipper starts scanning the DVD and in the middle of the scan a window pops up and tells me that the program has to quit unexpectedly and I can't use it after. I've tried with a couple of my DVD's and I can't copy none of them.

I installed a new program to transform .avi files, the name of the program is ffmpegx. Could it be this program causing Mactheripper to close. I uninstalled it and uninstalled Mactheripper. I reinstalled Mactheripper but it still closes.

Would anyone have a solution to this problem ?

Thank you and have a nice evening everyone

Gardouche

Quit the program and then go to /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ and find the preference file for Mac the Ripper and throw it out. This should reset the program and hopefully that will fix it for you. Good Luck.

Hello !

I don't know which file it is that I must delete in the Preferences ? I'm new to the Mac World, I've had a Mac for about 1 year. I'm still learning. If you can tell me which file to delete I'd appreciate it very much.



Thank you for your help !

Consider getting the "Missing Manual" series. It is a big help to tricks of the Mac.

More to the point, though... ->

Somewhere in /Users/yourusershortname/Library/Preferences/ you'll find a file (or two) containing the name "mactheripper", probably. I don't have it on my machines (I'm using handbrake to convert DVDs to Quicktime files), so I can't say what MTR's preference file is called exactly.

EDIT: Wow, I'm too friendly today... I installed MTR and searched for you. The file's called "com.mtr3.plist". Now I have to go outside on a sunny Sunday noon and kill a kitten or something to bring down my karma. :P
