MacTheRipper

I have a fairly foolproof method I use: 1. Rip with mactheripper 2. "Shrink" with DVDremaster 3. Insert blank DVD--Open "shrunken" folder, highlight VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and drag them to the "Blank DVD" icon in the sidebar. 4. Click on "Blank DVD" icon--hit burn. I've never used Toast, or saw a reason to. Good luck

Hello all, I am trying to make backup copies of DVD movies that I own. I used to be using Handbrake to decode the DVD's, but after their latest updates, I was forced to switch programs. I just started using Mac the Ripper and iSkysoft's Video Converter tonight, and am having issues already. I am using Mac the Ripper fine (I think), and have burned VIDEO_TS folders...

Thanks for the suggestion, but..... look at the beginning of this thread and you'll see that it was because of MacTheRipper that I first wrote! And also that, I later found a solution. ...

I was trying to make a backup of one of my DVDs and it gave me such a hard time! I tried Mactheripper and then after some googling, I found some windows programs that do the same thing but they get rid of a lot of encryption, so I booted up windows in VMWare and installed them. No matter which program I used though, it gave me a hard time with it at the same place in the DVD....

Not all DVDs will work with MacTheRipper, in part due to better copyright protection schemes on the disks themselves. There are a handful of other programs out there that do the same thing, easily found with a simple Google search (hint: "Mac OS X DVD ripper").

I know some nice DVD rippers for Mac: 1. Handbrake. This is a free tool for ripping dvd and convert it to other formats includes iPod MP4 format. 2. MacTheRipper.

It converts both DVD and videos to iPod touch/ iPod Nano/ iPod Classic, PSP,...
