I also had problems with the latest version Handbrake with Lion. I ended up downloading an older version of Handbrake which works OK with Lion although I have 3 DVDs from a mini-series that I can't rip.

has anyone used the beta dvdfab?

You need to have VLC installed to have the current version of handbrake rip protected DVDs. And yes, it definitely works on lion

I had the latest versions of VLC and Handbrake and had issues. I Googled the problem and found that others did as well which is why I redownloaded an older version of Handbrake.

I use handbrake and burn sometimes on my Samsung Optical Drive at $35-40 it's a steal. As mentioned before, it works with my 13' air with one usb plugged in as well.

MakeMKV works as well, though it turns the resulting files into uncompressed MKV format. And it is free.

I use MacDVDRipper. Just upgraded to 3.0 that allows for automatic conversion to h.264. Fairly simple program that lets you rip the entire disk, just the main movie, etc....

Haven't had a problem with a disk yet. Back in my Windows days I used DVDFab.

I like Handbrake, too, but the thread has gotten off topic.

What is a suitable free replacement for Mac The Ripper/ripping the content from the actual disc?

Makemkv will do that for free. You can then take the output from Makemkv and run it through handbrake to down convert to a file optimized for iPad, ATV, iPhone, etc.

Yes, I use it all the time on my Win 7 machine to rip 1080P Blu-rays. I then use the generated file in Handbrake for use on my iOS devices. Works great.

The only thing with Handbrake is that it doesn't work 100% of the time. I tried backing up 2 movies I got over X'mas so that I didn't have to take my superdrive and dvd's and it didn't work. I thought, maybe, it required an update, but no periodic updates were available. Are some, here, experiencing the same when ripping your collections?

yeah i have had some problems with handbrake, I'm ripping my Soprano videos to my iPod for my daily commute on the train and even with the volume to the max its a stuggle to hear with my BT headphones on, sitting at my desk at work this morning I am relying on the volume from the iPod itself without using a headset and its just waaaaay too low. It's really not good enough.

so which ones actually rip the entire uncompressed dvd like mactheripper into a .vob file? Is there anything out there that does exactly what mactheripper does? i dont want mine compressed or put into any other format other than .vob (i will gladly pay plenty of money, because im going to start loosing money by my kids destroying their/my dvds.)

i used mtr forever, but as everyone else, i cant now with lion. (and obtaining the new version seems so sketchy) im thinking of installing snow leopard in another partition to start using it again.....but i really need something that can handle the newer encryptions they use these days, especially dvd dvds......which i have yet to be able to do at all....and they cost the most.

even if it still cant do disney or newer stuff, i would still like an mtr like rip.

ive been looking for ever now...

i do have windows 7 on a secondary hd....so i may have to check out slysoft...

Sounds Good, are you the same Sounds Good over at NotebookReview?

Yes, I think for common DVD, i think hanbrake can meet your needs. But to copyright protected DVD, you may have to pay for it.

Handbrake + VLC does 80% of all disks and is the fastest

Ripit for the disks HB can't do.

I've been trying to rip some blurays to stream from my iMac on my Apple TV2. I can successfully rip them with MakeMKV and use Handbrake to convert them to m4v but when I stream the movie, there are audio drops during the movie.

I'm a big fan of MakeMKV as well. It is easy and has been working flawlessly for me.

I prefer The Little App Factory's RipIt to convert the DVD to a DVD Image and then Elgato’s Turbo.264HD to convert to m4v. It is very fast with this little usb dongle, about similar to recent iMac i7-quad core as I get an average of 88-127fps on my late 2010 11" 1.6Ghz C2D Air at 80% CPU Utilization, during the conversion process.

I used Ripit to RIP a movie, The Ripit file plays on DVD Player on my Air, but HandBrake can not Encode this for some reason?
