Need DVD Ripper compatible with FCE4

Hi FCE gurus!
I have a friend who gave me a DVD with her stockpile of clips, and I need to import the video+audio into FCE4 to incorporate into a piece I am making.
I went out to the web, and looked at Mac the Ripper - unfortunately my tech advisors say the software is not very well made, and when it asked for me to install rosetta - i balked, as that is a backward compatible library of code which may affect other applications.
So can anyone recommend a DVD ripping tool that (hopefully is free) is available for download and will work on my macbook pro?
Many thanks in advance
Steve

Tom,
thanks again for your prompt attention.
I do have the free version of MPEG Streamclip, and when I try and load the DVD, it says I need to purchase an add-on for $20. Were you thinking that I should be able to convert the DVD with the free version? Or, do I need the MPEG-2 playback component.
Steve
Here's what MPEG Streamclip says when I select a DVD that I created with iMovie:
The Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is not installed...
You will miss the two most important features of MPEG Streamclip:
- you won't be able to play MPEG-2 files and transport streams;
- you won't be able to convert MPEG-2 files and transport streams to QuickTime, DV, AVI.
However, all other features are always available, including playback and conversion of MPEG-1 to QuickTime, DV, AVI, demuxing of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, AC3 decoding, and conversion from transport streams to MPEG files (useful if you have Toast 6).
MPEG Streamclip is free of charge but the MPEG-2 Playback Component has a small price (around $20/£15/€20 in most countries); you can buy it online from Apple:

Recommendations for External DVD Burner compatible with 10.5 Leopard?

We still have an older MacBook that we bought in 2007, it works great except for the CD/DVD drive. I need to be able to burn DVD's, could anyone recommend an External DVD Burner that would be compatible with 10.5 Leopard? Or at least give me an idea of what I need to look for to know if it should work before I buy it? Thank you!

So, is there a list somewhere I can find? Or does anyone have any suggestions about quality drives to purchase?

Need a printer compatible with Mac OS 9

Hi there!
One of my client is trying to find a new printer compatible with mac os 9. I've look around, but only have found printer for Mac OS X. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!!!

Christian Labbe...
Epson C86 comes into mind but may be thinning out in some areas stock. Epson seems to be pulling away from Mac OS 9 support for some time.
About the only others I have seen is a few Lexmark's like the Z600 series however their cartridges seem overly priced and it is best to get the expensive high yield ones over the moderate yield ones. Another thing about Lexmark, is they may skimp on a cartridge or both from in the box sale, so read the box over carefully.
Do not get me wrong as Lexmark's are a decent printer, however they do have the highest cost per page in printing ever known to the world. If you need to do several copies of something, it may be cheaper for you to make a printable page and photocopy the remainder. Lexmark also doesn' t rely much on Chooser's configurations as they are somewhat a native Desktop USB printer. They can be configured also as a USB Network printer out of the box.

NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?

Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
(in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
to make them compatible?
Thanks!

Hi coxorange;
Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

Need Sound Card Compatible With Intel D975XBX Mobo and Windows 7

Did a search and no joy. I built a home theater computer about 5 years ago around the D975XBX,? I was using the Sigmatel integrated sound via toslink to my receiver without any problems. I installed W7 yesterday only to find that there are no Intel mobo drivers for W7. So before I go throught he hassle and expense of replacing the mobo and processor, are there any sound cards that are compatible with this mobo and W7? I don't do gaming on this machine, or 3D, mainly 5. out to my receiver. Thanks.
Tim?

DWell, I'll answer my own question. Finding it very hard to belei've that a driver wasn't available for the Sigmatel, I upgraded the Bios, then did another seach. Cha-ching, money!
I really like SB cards, but I don't like spending money when I don't have to.
Even though Intel said it stopped supporting?the mono?in '08, the bios was an '09 version. This may be helpful to others who are using this mobo.

Apple dvd burner compatible with pcs

I have borrowed an Apple USB SuperDrive but can't get it to work with my Lenovo PC. Is the SuperDrive really not compatible with a PC?

Correct. See http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564
It is not even compatible with all Apple computers.

Can anyone recommend a New DVD burner compatible with Retrospect?

I'm hoping some more experienced users can help me find a new DVD burner for my trusty old G4 (Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 - mirror doors).
My original Superdrive still functions, but has become a little erratic at times (and is a tad slow - like me), so I'm considering a new external burner (Firewire preferred). I've located a new LaCie drive (22x, DVD-DL, lightscribe, etc etc) model reference 301484U, but I cannot determine if it is Retrospect compatible.
As a Graphic Designer, I've built up over the years a very large Retrospect archive of all my work & clients files (several hundred CDs & DVDs), to which I must retain access. I checked the EMC (Dantz) web-site, but the burner is not listed, so I don't know if it is or is not compatible, just not tested.
I decided to go with an external/firewire drive in the hope that when I do buy a new Mac Pro I can switch it over to the new machine.
I suppose as an alternative, if I could find an external version of whatever model Superdrive is included in the current Mac Pros, that would more than likely work with Retrospect.
I would appreciate any suggestions/comments or recommendations

In the past year I have bought a Pioneer for my old G4 and a LG for my MacPro at Best Buy when they have been on sale. No problems, easy installs. If you need more detailed/user experiences check out the drive database at:

External DVD drive compatible with Windows 8

I am looking to purchase an external DVD drive to use with the U430 laptop which is running Windows 8. Which units does lenovo offer that can run in this OS? Would the 0A33988 work; the specs only list Windows 7. I don't think the DB60 will work in Windows 8.
Thanks
joe

I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

HD DVD players compatible with HD content on standard DVD's

Hi all,
I've taken a look at the forums and have found folks successful at getting HD DVD content burned onto standard (red laser) DVD's to play on HD DVD players from Toshiba. Has anyone else had good experience with other players?
Thanks!

Um, OK. I have no idea what happened to my question. I could have sworn it was there when I went to preview it. Anyway, I was wondering what successes (and failures) folks have had with playing HD content burned to standard (red laser) discs. Specifically, I'd like to know what HD-DVD players people have used. I am aware of the Toshiba A1 and A2 working. Have any others?
Sorry about the screwed up post earlier.

Help, need a card compatible with the Platinum Live bay that uses the SB Live E400 midi dri

Help , have just got a used Soundblaster Li've Platinum card and i/o bay to ease in the production of backing tracks for li've gigs etc, my old card is a li've value soundblaster that uses a Midi driver called SB Li've E400 in addition to the Sb Li've A400 and the B400 which i used to assign soundfonts etc because they are not suitable for bass and drums ,very soft sounding but i need the Sb Li've E400 to get the loud and powerful drum and bass sounds so important for my work, the Platinum set has a card Model number sb0060 and the midi input driver is called MIDI UART with midi outputs being Sb Li've UART which results in no audio o/p if assigned to a midi channel and the Li've synth A and B ,similiar to my li've value card . my Soundblaster value card is a sb0220? allthough the Platinum card is great for plugging guitars straight in and the optical output is great for recording onto mindisc the sound quality is crap,not in the same class as my old li've value card? anyone got any ideas,dont know where to go next? Cheers George.

wouldnt put 2 sound cards in but you could try attaching the sb li've dri've to card, it will either work or it ownt, it will not work with remote, but it may just work as an io panle for your mid etc..
However if it was my hardware i would try as thats my right and my hardware i may break, so you would do this at your own risk.

Portege R600 - Is the DVD drive compatible with double layer disks?

The Australian specs for the *R600 PPR61A* state that the unti contains: *DVD SuperMulti Double Layer (7mm)*
The R600 however does not recognise any blank double layer DVD discs using either Windows burning tools or Toshiba Disc Creator.
Is this a mistake in the specs (being completely misleading), or do I have a driver/configuration problem?
Australian specs are available here: http://203.56.127.51/%2fTOPIC%2fproduct_details%2fproduct%2f20090325%2f Toshiba_PortegeR600_PPR61A-00300R_Specification_Brochure_Mar09.PDF

Hello
Are you really sure that your ODD can recognize double layer DVD’s?
I mean on the specification of the ODD you can find a mark (#) and on the second page you find the following information about this:
#=> +CD/DVD write capability may vary depending on the type/brand of media utilized+
So I think your model is equipped with a non double layer ODD.
But you can check this for example with Nero as Chad suggested.
What does Nero say?

Best DVD player compatible with iMAC?

Not all DVD players accept DVD-R burned on iMAC.
Anyone have a suggestion on what choose?
For use Domiciled in the UK.
Thanks
Molenoux

I have burned several DVDs onto TESCO Branded DVD-R discs.
None of which I tried to view on my in house Toshiba DVD player worked satisfacorily.
Not surprising. Just think of them as mini-frisbees!
Try one of the brands most of here use and recommend: Verbatim DVD-R (Sainsbury's sell those), Maxell or Fuji, and of course the best: Taiyo Yuden if you can find them.
