DVD Ripping/Compression/Burning on Mac

[Thrilice]

I have the basic understanding on how to actually burn DVDs. I am however, unfamiliar with what programs I should use on a Mac operating system.

I am currently using MactheRipper to rip DVDs on to my HD. Although I am finding a few DVDs that give me Bad Sector warnings, which I take as being the copyright protection. Searching around, I found that MactheRipper hasn't had much activity since the beginning of the year. Is there any other or better ripping program I could be using?

To compress and burn, I have been using DVD2onex2. I have not had any problems using this. Just curious if there are better programs than this too. I am trying out Toast 7 for burning, and looking to try out Popcorn for the compression.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

go to www.ripdifferent.com, click on the Forums, and see for yourself.

you are though on pretty much the right path in regards
to ripping/compression,

Toast 7 and Popcorn have the same compression. Stay with DVD2oneX for compression and burning. Toast is nice to have around. There isn't a better Mac ripper than MacTheRipper. Donate and get the beta version.

Hope to see you at RipDifferent.
