Sadly, here's how I do it
Unfortunately, this whole process of ripping is just getting too tough. It seems like the DVD companies are happy spending $10million to prevent you from backing up a $20 DVD. Heaven forbid, we wouldn't want Jack Nicholson to make $35million on a movie instead of $37million...
Lol ok im done.
If you can't get MTR to rip the DVD properly, there are a couple of options:
1. Get the MTR Beta; unfortunately it's buggy and it costs money to get into the beta program, but it cracks all the dvds that the free MTR can't (so far, at least).
IF YOU MUST HAVE H.264 QUALITY, HERES HOW I'D DO IT:
2a. Make a BootCamp partition of about 25gb or so, formatted NTFS, preferrably.
2b. Use DVDShrink to rip the disk, then save it as an ISO. Do this with about 4 or 5 movies (hence, the reason I chose to make the XP Partition so big. The bigger it is, the more you can do at once).
2c. Flip back into OS X. You should see the Boot Camp partition on the Desktop. Locate the .iso files and cut/paste them from Windows to OSX.
2d. Launch Handbrake, and use the proper settings (H.264, select the destination folder, etc). Queue up your 4-5 movies.
2e. Goto sleep
2f. Wake up, test your videos, and if they work, delete the .iso files since they're taking up useless space.
Is that an ok solution?!?!
