The same way I ever did - with [url="http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/">Exact Audio Copy[/url]. Ripping a CD totally doesn't involve the sound card in the least, so why should I expect it to come with CD ripping software?
(Yeah, it probably still has some in there, but I prefer to use a program that's main use is ripping CDs, not a program that tries to do all kinds of things at the same time...)

Communication between servers on different FIs

Just want to verify communication between UCS servers on same chassis but having active vNICs on different FIs (Diagram attached). I suppose all commuication between server-A & server-B will happen through Layer 2 switch as server-A will generate an ARP request for Server-B, that will be passed over to FI-A and then to L2 switch down to FI-B, where server-B will respond back with it's MAC that will then be passed to Server-A via FI-B to L2 switch to FI-A.I don't expect any traffic between servers A & B be routed via firewall? Is there anything I need to be careful about in this design? Going forward we will have multiple subinterfaces on the firewall for different VLANs and all servers will use Firewall as default gateway.

you may want to look at the throughput of your firewall for server-server traffic in different VLANs. If your L2 switch is 10G but your firewall is only 1G then you could have a potential bottle neck.

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.

First question - I have Acrobat 9 on my desktop and the license seems to have been messed up. I tried to download and fis but I asked me for a disk. I don't have any idea where the "disk" is. Can I get the license update without that disk?

Second question - In anticipation of not being able to do that, I bought (at University bookstore) Acrobat XI Pro - do I need to uninstall the 9.0 Pro version before I try to install the XI version?

If you still have your serial number for Acrobat Pro there is a link to the installer here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

I can't see the group ripper in premiere pro after 2014.1 update, and 2014.2 did not fix.

Please someone help me fix this I am literally going crazy as I have to edit in my notebook and am constantly hooking it up to different monitors, which calls for a different workspace most of the time. Thanks in advance.
To be clear I can not see the group ripper and therefore have to reset my workspace every time I want to redock an undocked panel group.

Click on the name and drag.

Import files from Wondershare ripper

I have my own old DVDs which I would like to import into my computer and then into FCE to re-edit. I was able to download it via Wondershare DVD ripper - it comes out as mp4 file. When I import it into FCE - there is a red line on thectop of video file that says - fce does not support. I tried also to export Wondershare mp4 file into QT and the problem stays the same. Would anyoe know or have experience with Wondershare? Nada

MPEG Streamclip needs the Apple QT MPEG2 Component (aka MPEG-2 Playback Component) to convert DVDs.
In my original reply above, I told you to read the MPEG Streamclip instructions about how to install the Apple QT MPEG2 Component. It cannot be installed directly on Lion or Mt. Lion, as you found out when you tried to do it. The MPEG Streamclip instructions explain how to install the component on Lion/Mt Lion. For your convenience, here is a copy of those instructions, from the front page of the MPEG Streamclip website:
Lion/Mountain Lion and MPEG-2 Playback Component
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
After you install the QT MPEG2 Component, MPEG Streamclip will be able to convert your DVD to other formats. If you want to edit the video in FCE, convert your DVD videos to QuickTime, using one of the following two compression options in MPEG Streamclip:
Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC - if your DVD is standard 4:3 video (North America)
Apple Intermediate Codec - if your DVD is 16:9 widescreen video
After selecting the compression, MPEG Streamclip should set all the other options as needed. Normally you don't have to adjust them. But do check the Frame Size to verify that it matches your video.
Also, in FCE make sure you select the appropriate Easy Setup and create a new Sequence before importing the converted video clips into FCE.

Best CLI DVD ripper IYO?

What's the best CLI DVD ripper IYO?
There are quite a few options as far as ripping a DVD from the commandline goes; there's burn, the python script, or dvd-backup, another decent command line utility, or the script on the wiki for use with mplayer's mencoder.
I'm looking for opinions as to which is the best, or alternatively, why you like the one you've got. Being a CLI-fanatic, I want the best ripper I can run in a terminal, with the lowest number of dependencies possible, and preferably no gui at all (i.e. not mencoder, which requires you to have mplayer installed) :cry:
Your thoughts?

shadowhand wrote:Two questions about dumping DVDs: Can you loopmount the dump? And if so, can you rip the loopmount? :shock:
You can loopmount it with mount -o loop movie.img. But why would you want to? You can play them with mplayer -dvd-device movie.img dvd:// or set the dvd device node of your favorite multimedia player to movie.img.
As for the second question: I'm not entirely sure. There'll probably some dvd rippers that can rip from an image. I also know that FreeBSD has a program (vndconfig?) that can create a device node that points at the image. I'm not sure Linux can do something like that. But again: why would you want to?

Hi,
The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

Better ripper than iTunes on Leopard?

hi guys,
i love iTunes and am not interested in starting another flame war...
but i was never quite satisfied with the ripping and encoding quality. on my Linux box I use cdparanoia (a ripper based on cdda2wav) and LAME (mp3encoder) and i like the flac format (and after archiving as loseless, i normally use lame to encode as mp3 for use on my ipod-nano).
being new to mac, i was wondering if there are any equivalents to cdparanoia/flac/lame or other alternative rippers to itunes.
anybody has any experience with Max?
By the way, I am pretty fluent with the command line, so you are not going to scare me with "make install" or other terminal solutions... LOL
thanks in advance

Hi minsf
I exclusively use iTunes but all my CDs are ripped as apple losseless so no complaints here. As to your questions here are some suggestions:
XLD
iTunes-LAME Encoder
Finallyt, the aac format is supposed to be better than mp3. For the same bit rate, better sound quality. I am not being an apple evangelist here as aac is not an apple codec but belongs to the mpeg group

IndexOutOfBoundsException from FIS.read() method

I am trying to read 8 bytes from a FIS
According to the API for this method I should be able to read bytes 3 - 11 by using an offset of 3 and a length of 8 which is what
fin.read(l_data_array, i_offset, i_length); is supposed to do but if my offset is >0 then it fails.
Any ideas what is wrong?
( My file is approx 3KB so this is not the prob and the first method call does read 8 bytes )
    byte [] x = readBytesFromFile(0, 8); //ok
    byte [] x = readBytesFromFile(3, 8); //IndexOutOfBoundsException thrown
   private byte [] readBytesFromFile( int i_offset, int i_length){
      byte[] l_data_array = new byte[i_length];
      try {
         File fd = new File(m_db);
         FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fd);
         fin.read(l_data_array, i_offset, i_length);
         fin.close();
      catch (FileNotFoundException fnf) {
         System.out.println("File not found Exception");
      catch (IOException ioe) {
         System.out.println("IO Exception");
      return l_data_array;
   }error :

Thanks for the replies folks.
The file I will be reading in will, for the first part of the development phase, serve as a a Database. So it is liable to become > 1MB.
Each record will be 1KB long, stored sequentially. So you are saying that if I want to read record No 999 I have to have a byte [] which can hold 999 * 1000 bytes. Seems a waste of resources ( Even though temporary ) that I can't move a pointer along the FIS and read say, bytes 9,000 to 10,000 into an array like ( byte[1000] ) instead of needing an array like ( byte [10,000] )
What kind of kinky reason do sun have for this?

Is there a decent replacement for Mack The Ripper that works with Mavericks?

Is there a decent replacement for Mack The Ripper that works with Mavericks?

But this is not a plugin, it's basically Adobe's Photoshop lite - a standalone program.
The beauty of Intellihance was that is combined a few good native Photoshop adjustments into one menu which meant that you could perform a series of various adjustments and preview them all at once.
Don't want to leave PS to do this if I don't have to.

DVD ripper software recommendations for OS 10.4

Having a heck of a time trying to rip a dvd of a performance of mine, so there is no copyright issue here. Tried Mac the Ripper, didn't work (kept quitting). Also heard of Handbrake and DVD Ripper. Can't seem to find a version that will run with OS 10.4.11. These products are either unavailable or are updated and won't work on my Mac. I've thought of upgrading to 10.5, but that's hard to find as well, and costs an arm and a leg through other people. Apple doesn't seem to even have that as a basic download anymore. HELP! Any suggestions on what I can do to rip my DVD onto my hard drive so I can edit?

Please be aware that Fair Use, the doctrine that allows the back-up of your DVD/CDs for personal is not currently legally accepted in the UK and many countries outside of the US.
Hence, here it is illegal to copy DVD's to any format and circumventing the copy protection is a breach of the copyright owners rights.
Whilst I accept that copying is inevitable (you thieving bast*rds...!), please keep discussion away from any information about breaking DRM etc, as we will not allow the forums to be used for discussion of illegal activities.
Mac DVD Ripper is very good and is my primary ripper. I also have RipIt which is pretty good too. MDRP is often discounted to around $35 and has been worth it for me.
It seems well supported and is updated frequently. Nothing bad to say about RipIt, but it does have less options.
Thanks.

What format shiould i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

what format should i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake
Neither is suitable for burning DVDs or BluRay media. They are DVD rippers/converters, not DVD authoring tools. Handbrake doesn't produce any format suitable for DVD Authoring. And while MacDVD Ripper can create .mov files even that's not a guarantee the file can be used for DVD authoring. You need DVD Authoring software like Roxio Toast to burn DVDs or BluRay disks.
Most BluRay players can play both standard def DVDs and high def BluRay disks. Which kind do you want to burn? And what exactly is your source media (video) that you want to burn?
And if you want to burn BluRay disks, you need a BluRay burner.

Twonkey media server unable to read mp4 files created by new version of Leawo Blu Ray Ripper

For the past week I have been ripping DVDs with a new version (v7.3.0.3) of Leawo Blu Ray Ripper. The Twonkey media server (v7.2.9-1) on my WD4100DL will not read the newer files compared to movies ripped with the old version (v7.2.1.4). My Roku media server does just fine. Is there an upgrade of the Twonkey media server available?
Thanks for any advice.

I think that Leawo has helped me to solve the problem. The MP4 files that I made using the old version of Blu-Ray Ripper apparently defaulted to H.264 video codec for MP4 files. Twonky is able to read those files. The new version (7.3.0.3) of Leawo Blu-Ray Ripper defaulted to MPEG4 video codec. Twonkey cannot read those MP4 files. I have changed the video codec to H.264 in Blu-Ray Ripper and I am in the process of ripping a DVD now. I will post the result.

Limitations associated with Direct Connecting arrays to UCS FIs.

I understand that in order to direct connect an array to UCS, the FIs have to be put into Switch mode(NPIV). But once the FI's are in Switch Mode, is it impossible to attach other SAN switches to the fabric interconnects?
It is my understanding that you could accomplish this because it wouldn't be much different then an extended SAN fabric in which an array's traffic would have to travel through 2 FC switches to arrive at a host. But perhaps I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance.

You can have directly attached storage and FC switches at the same time, in fact until recently it was required since UCS did not do zoning.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/servers-unified-computing/ucs-infrastructure-ucs-manager-software/116082-config-ucs-das-00.html
The questions is whether you really want to do it that way, I think for 95% of deployments, if not more, end host mode is recommended.
If you're already planning to attach FC switches, best to place storage on them.
Have a look at FlexPod (of Vblock) designs.
