Mac The Ripper Question + A Major Thank You

[Hounddog]

Hi, first let me say Thank You to all of those that responded to my first post, either on the board or via email. All of my questions where answered and I have learned allot.

Now I have a mac the ripper question. Are there any movies that mac the ripper can't rip ?

Or do I need a copy of DVD-X-Copy, ( old version with the ripper ) and run it with Virtual PC, for those that mac the ripper can't ?

I am still in the learning mode so maybe this is a dumb question.

So far, it looks like I will be ordering my G5 1.8 DP with COMBO drive in mid Oct. This will be my first Apple. Then I will be buying the Pioneer 108, and placing it in a USB 2.0-Firewire external enclosure.

The disk will be Ritek G 5's matte, although Prodisk, Imation and TDK also came highly recomend. I think I will burn to a -RW disk first until I get it right, then burn to the G 5's.

As far as the RAM goes, from what I have seen it continues to come down in price, so I think I will wait until after I buy my Apple to buy it.

Thank You For Bearing With a Newbie

Thus far I have not run into a move it won't rip.

Chinese bootlegs....not that i do that sorta stuff. They way the bootleg them is they rewrite the xml or ifo from a commercial dvd ex. The Nightmare Before Christmas. But the movie on the disc is Fahrenheight 9/11...in example. The rewriting of the ifo fucks it up, and mtr hass trouble reading it. Other than that commercial and homemade dvds have been fine. Just stay away from bootlegs.

Usually, Chinese bootlegs are unencrypted, so you can rip them by using Toast in Copy mode. Other than that, there's a new copy protection scheme (ARccOS) going around in Europe that MTR has problems with. We hope to get that problem solved, if people send us some of these DVDs.
