Hi all...

I was wondering what dvd ripper/encoder everyone uses for formating dvds for the iphone...

I was using handbrake...but it turns my computer off all the time or it makes my OS quit. I believe its too much for my processor to handle.

I tried mac the ripper and it ripped the dvd, but it doesnt encode it.
I tried FFmpeg to encode it...its still in process.

Is there an easier solution..handbrake was great.

Are you using windows or mac?

MAC...

I think my mac is getting old though...

it just turns off or the OS quits ...

maybe my precessor is going bad...

HandBrake no longer supports Mac OS X versions older than 10.5

If you use mac the ripper, you can encode it with isquint

But I'm using 9.2...not the new 9.3 version...

I thought it would be ok..

Or me being on 10.5.6 is a problem...?

damn...

I use Handbrake with VLC and it works fine to rip and encode all at once

iSquint is great - automatically puts it in iTunes too!
