Good DVD ripping program

I'm looking for one that rips the DVD directly to iPod format.
Any suggestion? Freeware preferred.

Indeed RPM4, it will do it all in one go. (It's
called ON THE FLY). Simply choose the DVD drive as
the source, select what format to output from a list
of over a dozen different formats from PSP to iPod
30GB or 60GB, press START and it will output a
properly encoded movie that you can drag directly
into iTune. No encoding required by iTune, its ready
to sync with your iPod.
To watch a movie in itunes, does it have to be MPEG4? H264 or something like that? So I put the dvd of top gun in, use what you say, get it to iTunes and then to my iPod and voila I'm watching top gun on my ipod?

  • A good video rip program

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a good DVD ripping program that can produce MPEG-4 I have a program called Magic DVD Ripper, but it is slow and can't do MPEG-4 then again it was free so it does a decent job for backup (as long as you have a day to set aside, and lots of HDD space).

    No it doesn't
    You will need to use Videora or Videora Lite

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

  • IMac - external DVD drive crashes Aimersoft DVD Ripping program

    I am using Aimersoft DVD ripping software (legal version) to make mp4 files out of DVDs. It works fine on the IMac internal DVD drive. But when I try and use an external DVD drive using FW800/400 conversion cable, Aimersoft program keeps crashing.
    Any thoughts?

    Peter,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Here are some alternative choices for playing DVDs.
    If the LaCie drive USB or FW?
    Tiger is serious improvement over 10.1 (although you may need some more RAM) I'm not sure whether it will cure the DVD player issue? If you still have space (9Gb) on your 40Gb drive you could use Mac the Ripper, and then open the VIDEO_TS file in DVD Player.

  • DVD Copying Program?

    I don't seem to find any good DVD copying programs for the Mac. I have an immense amount of personal DVD's that I need to copy for my own personal archive. There are dozens of programs for windows such as DVDFABHD and DVD SHRINK. I have tried MacTheRipper and have had no success in the DVD copying process. Are there any good programs out there for the Mac that decrypt DVD's and copy them? Thanks.

    That may cause a problem. If you are ripping protected DVD, you will be in fact infringing copyright law.

  • Video Arrangment on Hard Drive + DVD Ripping Software + Internet Sharing

    Hello,
    I relatively new to MAC OS, and got my iMac a couple of months ago. I have arranged my music under iTunes and pics in iPhoto, but haven't really found a great solution to storing my videos on the hard drive. I like iMovie to create my projects, but not as a storage/viewing platform. I right now have a combination on movies stored in iTunes and on the movies folder in my Hard Drive as well as some small movies in iPhoto, but wanted to have everything arranged in one location, similar to my music/pictures. Let me know what ways others store their videos on their Mac?
    Also, looking for a good DVD ripping software that I can use so I can take my old DVD projects I made on my last computer and have permenant storage on my Hard Drive? I've used Handbrake, but wasn't sure about the quality.
    Also, is there a way you recommend sharing videos online. I have some large videos (3gb, 30 min long), so it won't fit on YouTube. MobileMe is only 20gb large so it won't suit my needs (plus it seems too expensive!)
    Thanks for your help!

    Apps to organise your video are thin to the ground. I've enjoyed using yFlicks (http://manytricks.com/yflicks/) (for other options search on MacUpdate. But in the end I reverted to using iTunes, where I class home movies as Music Videos, as I don't have any of those.
    Ripping DVD is a tender subject on this forum. Under US law, and that's where this forum is based, it's illegal to even discuss ways of circumventing DRM protection. (Free Speech, right?) And as ripping a DVD might wander into such country it's best to search for solution on Google than here. And yes, I know, you're ripping your own material.
    If your movies are 3 gig and only 30 minds long you need to compress them for sharing. Remember, at that size, the folks on the other end will end up downloading the 3 gigs to see the movie. In video it's common to talk of Production formats and Delivery Formats. From what you describe, your movie is in a production format - good for editing but huge. Compression will not harm the quality of the finished movie but will give you a version of a size more suited for delivery to a viewer (but not much good for editing). For comparison's sake, you can download a full length HD or near HD Hollywood movie online at less than 1 gig.

  • DVD Ripping  help needed

    Well, I looked through the topics for the application, "handbrake", and downloaded it via one of the links that one of the members gave. Anyhow, it wouldn't install. I'm assuming it's only for mac users? Anyhow, is there a version that's for windows or does anyone know of another good DVD ripping application that is iPod friendly? I heard that handbrake can rip and convert ripped DVD's into the correct format for ipod. Also, if it can rip it into a format that can be converted via videora, then that would be fine as well.

    After several tries with other apps mention, I stumbled on "PQ DVD to Pod" software and it has worked great for me on my XP PC. Download the free trial version. It will limit you to a 5-10 minute record time unless you buy, but you can at least try it out before spending money. It is easy to use. Does DVDs and most other vid files as well.
    I like that it will easily let you take portions of a DVD (like concert videos) and nicely pull out just the ones you want. Downside: unless it's a long DVD, you have to manually stop the recording so have to watch when near completion.
    No perfect solutions yet it seems.....

  • DVD Ripping Software

    Hello everyone,
    I just bought my first ever Apple product (Macbook Pro 13" 2.66ghz w/ OSX 10.6.4). I was running a Windows PC prior and was using Slysoft's AnyDVD and Clone DVD to rip DVD's. I was wondering if there is something similar for the Mac? Don't care if you have to buy it or it's free.
    Adam

    A pretty good DVD ripping software that is free is Handbrake, and you will probably also have to download VLC Player as well, if you are using the 64-bit version make sure it matches. I believe for VLC you have to use version 1.03 or something.
    Good Luck!

  • DVD rip to iPod on Windows

    Im sorry, i have seen this asked before, but the only ones i saw were ways with mac programs. Can somebody give me a link or tell me a step by step way to rip my DVDs and then convert them to a iPod format that is completely free, and i can convert a whole movie without paying for a converter. Thanks.

    well thank you for reading adn doing some searching.Luckily for mac users the process isnt as cumbersome adn troublesome for windows users. I have always used this software to convert my dvds to be played on the ipod and have had no troubles and no errors. here is the website for the software adn related info about it and a website on how to convert a DVD using this software.

  • Dvd::rip using only 1 instead of 4 cores

    Hello, fellow Archers!
    I've installed dvd::rip today and started transcoding my DVD's... And I saw a problem: It only uses one core at a time. The processor (I guess that it's not the program, which does that) is swapping the core being used every few seconds, but I can only see one core being pushed to it's 100%. Can I (and - if so - how to do that) set it up to use all 4 cores? It should speed up the process.
    I'm using it's default programs (mplayer, xine, etc.), although I'm using mplayer-vaapi. Is that the cause? Should I swap to default mplayer? Or maybe it's related to my system settings? Does it install all the programs to support 4 cores by default, or should I set something up?
    Cheers!

    anyone have any recommendations for a free dvd burning program? i am trying to burn dvds (movies) that i already have ripped to my hd.
    thanks.

    You can burn them in the Finder. Go to the "Help" menu in the Finder and type in "Burning DVDs" in the search field. You will find instructions there. You basically mount a blank DVD and drag your folder with video files in it to the DVD.

  • DVD::RIP Stops Responding [SOLVED]

    Howdy,
    I have just started to use DVD::RIP to try and backup some of my DVDs to XViD/DiVX.  However, everytime I try to rip one, DVD::RIP it seems to stop responding while it is trying to generate a preview image of the ripped movie.   The application can still be moved around within, tabs changed, but the ripping area items remain greyed out.  The status bar at the bottom stops updating, however the log files continue to update with the amount of time the process has been running.  According to the website, "This usually takes a few seconds, unless you're in the on-the-fly or DVD image mode, where this may need a minute."  I am not in either of the above modes, I am using the application suggested RIP to Hard Drive mode.  I have waited several times up to 15 minutes for this process to complete without any change.  I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out?  Or point me to a better solution for DVD ripping and transcoding.  Thanks.

    I can't help you solve your problem with DVD::Rip, but I'd suggest you give HandBrake a try. It is a really easy to use command line tool for ripping and encoding DVDs and is by far the fastest DVD-ripper I've found. Quality is very good as well and it does stuff like detect cropping values automatically and very reliable. There's a precompiled binary for Linux on their forums if you fear to compile it on your own. You could also try Avidemux which a friend of mine suggested. He says it's the best tool for ripping DVDs, but I haven't tried it myself since I'm really satisfied with handbrake.
    There's also Thoggen, Winki The Ripper, OGMRip and probably many more others. But they can't compare to Handbrake IMHO.

  • Any good video converter programs?

    i was wondering if anyone knew of any good video converting programs to convert from different file formats, such as .mov to mp4, avi to mpeg, etc., where u can specify the final outputted file size. for example, ive used handbrake to convert my dvd's for my ipod and it allowed me to specify how big i wanted the video file to be at the end. is there anything like this, but not for dvd's? thanks for any help!

    it's a funny name.
    I want to thank you for using that screen name. makes me giggle every time you post.
    Compressor really is a powerful application and can create beautiful files. But you really need to know what you're doing or you can adjust the wrong setting and create something really ugly.
    QuickTime Pro is a little more user friendly. Not as many options, but it can do quite a bit.
    Sorenson Squeeze is another good one. I used to use it all the time on the PC, but since I've figured out Compressor, I rarely open it.

  • Best DVD burning program

    Well, since BURN doesn't work with Mavericks anymore, and iDVD isn't around (as far as  I know), has anyone got any recommendations on a a good (preferably free, or maybe inexpensive) DVD burning program?
    thanks

    a quick followup:
    went out and bought toast. tried to encode video DVD from mpeg-4 files, which seems to go okay, then when it goes to burn the DVD it gives me something about a "sense error" , says 'sorry, the dvd couldn't be created" and then that's it. I'm using Verbatim AZO DVD-R's which used to work for me okay.  Hmmm---maybe bad batch??
    I have a stock dvd burner in my Mac Pro
    other relevant stuff (or not) OS: 10.9.3, Ram: 10 gig, HD space: 4 TB, video card sapphine HD7950 3 gig VRAM
    well, that's it...I'm stumped for right now....any help appreciated

  • Since i don't have idvd on my new imac, what is the best alternative dvd burning program with similar features? (creating menus, elegant and easy to use, etc.)

    I just found out that Apple no longer ships a solo version of idvd with the new macs.  I used this program with my imac as it was simple and got the job done.
    In imovie, under "share" there is an option for idvd, but it isn't a program i can get into like the old one for menu creation, etc.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good reliable dvd burning program with menu creation features similar to idvd?

    Hi
    There are two answers
    A. No there are nothing like iDVD - at all
    B. read on
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
