Hey there, I'm running a macbook from late 08 and I want some suggestions towards a good program to use so that I can rip a dvd of a collection of videos I made in class this past semester. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks. Btw, I have never ripped a dvd before.

The OP says the videos were made by him as part of a class project. What's the point of using MacTheRipper on a project that has no kind of DRM? Defeating DRM and anti-copying mechanisms is what MTR is all about.

Check out a program called Handbrake. It'll convert them into H.264 files. Great program. Or, were you looking to make DVD images?

Many people are reluctant to admit they are in fact ripping a movie with DRM.

I on the other hand am not. First thing I do when I buy a movie or any DVD is rip it with Mac The Ripper.

I then use Toast to copy and burn the VIDEO_TS file to make a copy of the original.

The original goes into my permanent library collection to sit unused and pristine.

The copy is left out for anyone to play, including grandchildren and sometimes friends who join me camping and after a few beers, and often scratch a disk.

If that happens, I simply make a copy again from the original.

I call it preserving my collection and I don't give a darn who objects. I paid for them and they are mine to do with as I wish as long as they are being used by me.

I Agree with SINC,

Alot of times I have to rip a DVD to my hard drive so my teaching partner can use the movie while my class uses it.

That's actually illegal -- glad to see piracy alive and well in our school systems!!!

What SINC is doing is actually fine, as in Canada it is legal to make a copy of a CD or DVD you purchased for backup purposes!

Does anyone know what is the latest version of MTR?
