G5 10.5.8 + Mac the Ripper + Popcorn 2

I had Mac the Ripper and Popcorn 2 before I got my latest computer and hadn't tried to use it until now. I'm having trouble getting Popcorn to work for me.
Mac the Ripper is working just fine and I'm able to use Mpeg Streamclip to export video into a format that can be added to my iTunes library but those same movies can't be seen by my apple TV and also can't be imported to my iPod video.
When I try to export movies using Popcorn 2 so that they can be viewed on my iPod it just hangs there and does nothing.
I'm just curious if anyone else has had success with upgrade versions of Popcorn? The newest version is 4 but I want to know it will work before buying it.
Thanks for any help

I prefer using Handbrake for compatibility with iTunes.

Converting Mac the Ripper files for editing in FCE

Is there a way to convert a file that's been '"ripped" from a DVD, into video and audio that can be editied in FCE. I was told that it can be done, but can't find anyone who knows how in the DVD forum.
Nothing illegal. I have programs of my own on DVD, and I'm trying to set-up a stock footage library that I can easily pull from and add to new videos.

If Mac the Ripper has created a folder of "VOB" files you can use MPEG Streamclip or Handbrake to decode and demux them (they're MPEG-2 files) to a format that FCE can work with. Convert to Quicktime Movie using DV (DV, DVC/PRO-NTSC), Apple Intermediate, Animation, or Video as the codecs (and set quality to highest/best). Set the frame rate (29.97 for NTSC, 25 for PAL) - don't leave it set to "current", you'll likely have sync problems later.
For anything other than DV, don't forget to convert the audio along with the video. AIFF, 16 bit, 48kHz if the destination is FCE (the original audio is more than likely 44.1kHz which FCE would have to render).

Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

What is Mac the Ripper is there a way to download it?

im trying to copy a dvd to my hard drive and i need to have Mac the Ripper and i dont know what that is and how do i use it.

Try Google or one of the other excellent search engines. I agree with the other posting about 'ripping commercial DVDs', but it does have a legitimate use for backing up DVDs - for example those which might be damaged by children's sticky fingers.

Playing DVDs created from Mac the Ripper...workflow?

I've used Mac the Ripper to copy a DVD I have. What is the workflow on how to make that file folder that has Audio_TS and Video_TS (created from Mac the Ripper) onto another DVD AND make it self-play once it gets inserted into the player?
Thanks!

If you have rights/permission to copy the DVD, make a Disc Image then burn another copy from the Finder.

Or, if the original disc isn't set for the track to be the "first play," you can use MPEG Streamclip to demux the audio and video, then use those files as assets in a new DVD-SP project for reauthoring.
Either way, I would not recommend using Mac the Ripper.

VOB File Converting? Mac the Ripper & Youtube

I have a audition running about 11 minutes on DVD. Broken up into 3 chapters. I am using Mac the Ripper. The file is a VOB?. Very large about 743.50mb. I want to load on computer and upload to Youtube. Problem is the file seems to big?. Also when i go into movie folder it devides into 6 seperate folders but the 743+ file is there. How do I make this smaller and than burn on to mac and upload to Youtube. Thanks

If Mac the Ripper has created a folder of "VOB" files you can use MPEG Streamclip or Handbrake to decode and demux them (they're MPEG-2 files) to a format that FCE can work with.

Why do my converters (dvd ripper & mac the ripper) only recognise 14mins?

I have a dvd (50mins of footage) that i need to extract however both dvd ripper and mac the ripper only register 14mins of the 50mins worth of footage. The dvd plays fine however this problem occurs when trying to convert the (private) dvd (has no copy protection). Mac the ripper has just come up with a warning saying the dvd has been made with delibrate bad sectors.... what does this mean? What does padding the dvd mean?
Thanks!

Since you posted this in the FCE forum, should we assume you plan to edit the footage from the DVD? If so, use MPEG Streamclip or DVDxDV to convert the DVD's VOB files to an editable format that FCE works with natively.

Is there a version of Mac the Ripper for Os X Lion?

I'm trying to rip some of my DVD's so that I can watch them on my IPhone. I have heard that Mac the Ripper is the best for this, but I can't find a version that works with Os X Lion. Does anyone know if there's a new version available, and if so, where I can find it?
Thanks,
Jaws

Sorry, but discussions about ripping of copy-protected DVDs is prohibited here the Communities Terms of Use. You'll have to ask about this on some other discussions site.

Mac the Ripper

I have used this program alot, I have run into a movie though that will only rip the video portion of a movie..... no sound.
all my settings seem to be correct, but I can't figure it out
anyone help?

I have used this program alot, ...
... well, I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure, in Ontario a violation of copyrights isn't a minor ... conflict.
I wouldn't expect many answers in THIS forum...
MTR doesn't rip "anything", no "ripper" (there are others, I have knowledge of four for the Mac) on the market does so... search databasis as versiontracker.com for other tools...

How to burn/convert VIDEO_TS from Mac The Ripper??

Ok, I just used MacTheRipper to rip a DVD with Video_Ts and Audio_TS folders.
Now my question is, how can I convert these into a disk-image, or how can I now burn this to a DVD? Thanks in advance

I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware
But it's worth every cent of it! I have been using it for a long time and can't even remember the last time I stuffed up a disk, burning DVDs Music & MP3 CDS, photo cd's data etc.
I have tried a couple of freeware and shareware programs that are supposed to be ok, but spent most of the time producing drink coasters. if there is one program I think everyone should fork out for it would be Roxio Toast.
maybe someone can recommend a freebie, but I will always swear by Toast and think it has easily paid for itself already.
Cheers

Best settings to use in mac the ripper pro to backup my movie discs

I am looking for a good program to use to rip my movie collection as a backup, I figured I did this with my cd collection, that I would try with my movies.
I would like to be able to play the rips on a computer, maybe other devices like an ipod, & be able to burn the backups to my own blank discs to play on a tv should I lose the originals.
I looked through mroogle & this program was noted among the best, so I thought I would try it.
It has among the options, full disc image, all titles extras, etc.which of these should I pick for my uses.

The best thing to do is just see what you can find and see if your dealer will allow you to test drive it at all. You could get 100 replies to this thread and still not have a definitive answer because everyone's ear is different. The most useful information you can get out of here is what some of the more reliable units are. Not to speak for the rest of the forum, but that list would probably include:
RME products
MOTU
Apogee
Focusrite and
Onyx
That's just for starters. I'm personally looking to upgrade in that price range and have heard some pleasant things about the Focusrite Saffire Pro as well as the RME FF400. Lots of good stuff to choose from. Only you can really make the final judgement as to what is going to work best for you!

How to burn/convert files from Mac The Ripper??

Ok, I just used MacTheRipper to rip a DVD with Video_Ts and Audio_TS folders.
Now my question is, how can I convert these into a disk-image, or how can I now burn this to a DVD? Thanks in advance

What kind of burner do you have?
You need software to convert a Video_TS folder into the format necessary for a DVD to play on a DVD player.
One of the programs that will do this is Toast Platinum.
You need more than a blank DVD and a mere burner.
Google for conversion programs.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.
