I've never even touched a Mac in my life and i even know there is MacTheRipper
But seeing as you are not on a Mac (per your pc spec's, i guess you would not know anymore than i would about it )
I don't know anything about it or if it defeat's the latest copy protection on dvd's but it's somewhere to start, or do a search for it in the Mac forum
Seem's to be the ripper of choice for Mac's as far as i have seen or read on here

Yes - I know less than you about Macs - I'm not sure if they're even technically computers. I was telling a friend about all the neat PC programs I use, and we were checking if they worked on Macs and none do - hence my question. Maybe he doesn't even deserve to have a good tool given the fact that he obviously doesn't really care about computing anyway.

I don't own a Mac myself, not yet, but I know others who do, and I get to use them from time to time. Great machines, though geared more for studio type work from DV and intense editing. It's not really a hobby machine for ripping, downloading, etc. It's a tool more than a toy.

YadeX is one ripping tool, it's great for working with DVD recorder discs, IFO mode access, similar to DVD Decrypter.

Then we are both pretty sad because that is like the only thing i know about them, that and i know i don't want one :P

MacTheRipper (MTR)
Handbrake
0SeX
...about a half dozen others.

Just wondering...is there an app for my Mac that would infect my computer and attempt to infect the computer of everyone in my addressbook or make my Mac into a spam-spewing zombie as well as IE and Outlook under XP can do??? Probably not. I guess my Mac is technically not a computer, eh?

(Sorry; couldn't resist. Go ahead and flame; have a ball.)

That's funny...
Ya know, everything i have read about it, mac's are just as vulnerable as pc's, it's just most don't waste their time trying to create viruses or infect mac's because there are 90 times the amount of pc user's 8)
So naturally they have a larger feasting ground in the pc world so why bother with mac's :P (not that they are superior or better protected)

> mac's are just as vulnerable as pc's

"Linux and Mac OS X establish a more secure footing than Microsoft Windows, one that makes it far harder for viruses to take hold in the first place, but if one does take hold, harder to damage the system, but if one succeeds in damaging the system, harder to spread to other machines and repeat the process."

"There are about 60,000 viruses known for Windows, 40 or so for the Macintosh [old non-Mac OS X versions, currently zero for Mac OS X], about 5 for commercial Unix versions, and perhaps 40 for Linux. Most of the Windows viruses are not important, but many hundreds have caused widespread damage. Two or three of the Macintosh viruses were widespread enough to be of importance. None of the Unix or Linux viruses became widespread - most were confined to the laboratory."

Apologies for an off-topic post.

Macs are just as vulnerable as PCs. Neither computer is "better" really, they just tend to serve different purposes. Both can be screwed up really easy, and both have a number of viruses. That "40 virus" number is bogus, FYI, there are quite a few a few more than that. I remember the "zip kill" virus as being the most damaging, and that was in the 1990s.

As far as one being better than the other, the only area I can really say that's true is interface design. While Microsoft is capable of designing graphical interfaces that contain all the needed functions, they are incapable of grasping ergonomic design and workflow-geared interfaces, and lack consistency to boot. In general, while not as obsessive as they once were, Apple makes interfaces that are much more efficient and intuitive to use, for both the novice and the advanced user.

The best example of the difference in philosophy is that where Apple will have a single, thoughtfully-laid-out interface for configuring OS parameters (such as Network settings), Microsoft will have an interface containing all the settings you need in a layout so bad it takes you forever to discover the right one, and then a separate "Wizard" to take the noob through accomplishing basic configurations. This broken paradigm is unfortunately present in most of their products, and they never seem to be able to give decent configuration and usage interfaces to their products. It really affects you when your whole OS is built like this. Such interface design is not tolerated in the Mac software market. This makes working with the Mac OS, and Mac software in general, much, much more efficient for both the novice and experienced users.

As far as security goes, MacOS X is certainly a cut above Windows XP, especially where user accounts/permissions come into play, but it is no panacea, and I'm sure malware will come to OSX as popularity increases. It's just that the state of Windows permissions is so screwed up that pretty much anything (except possibly Classic Mac OS) is a cut above it. Forcing you to run as an admin just to install and run most software is just a cruel joke. Hopefully, Vista will address some of that issue. Also, Internet Explorer and Outlook are both so badly-designed, with the ability to execute third party code, and the deep hooks into the OS (root permissions), that this problem is compounded greatly. MacOS X may not be completely secure, but you can bet virus problems would be much less significant if MacOS X was the dominant OS on the net.

This issue is really going to become less important in the near future, when Macs switch over to Intel processors. The ability to run WINE, enabling you to run Windows software in MacOS X, will make all the advantages of commodity PCs nonexistent, and will actually make Macs the safe choice in computer hardware (the one that can run the most software). This will be a huge shift in the general computing value of Macs, and is just around the corner. Don't count the Mac out of your future just yet; you may be tempted Real Soon Now™.

There are 0 viruses infecting OS X, there have been 0 viruses to have ever infected OS X. Thank you come again. :P

Is there a Divx/Mac forum?
