It is if you're unsure what preset to use, or if you want to encode to multiple presets. If you rip the DVD to your HD using MTR first, you can do multiple encodes without having to re-rip each time.
Got a tip for us?

Not worried about it, I don't buy DVDs, as I said, I prefer iTunes so I don't have to deal with all these disks. Movies that I already had on DVD, I have repurchased through iTunes anyways.
Repurchasedwhat a waste of money.
So you say. I didn't have to spend the time ripping them plus I get the chapter titles and the quality is just as good as the DVD.
Just remembered that i cant rip region 2 dvds. Somehow my region locked onto region 1 before i had used up my change "allowance". I guess i will have to wait until i get my new imac. Im just waiting on Apple releasing a new model next year.
well unless there is a sale or it's an older season, even best buy has the same prices as itunes around here.. wal-mart and target usually will drop prices on older seasons but not all the time. that's just been my exp...

One point that hasn't been mentioned yet is that with iTS, you can get the shows the day after. With a DVD box set, you have to wait until the entire season is over and then probably a few weeks (to a couple of months) before you can even buy the DVD set.
So if you want the shows in your library almost right away, your choice is iTS.

This is uncalled for. If you want discussions about specific ripping utilities and movies, there are other forums.
This is a forum about Macs and Apple (along with other stuff). The folks on this forum want to keep it around for a while as it's extremely useful and the community is very helpful. Talk about illegal stuff could force it to shut down and we'd all lose out.
So my advice would be to keep ripping talk to a very general and basic level and leave the specifics for another forum.
