Hi
I am new to ripping dvd's/blu-rays and so far have little experience with ripping music dvd's only using handbrake and the apple tv settings with ac3 pass through in order to maintain good dd5.1 surround sound.
From what i understand handbrake cant rip protected movies correct?
So if i want to rip a protected dvd or blu ray what is the best program to use, i also have macx dvd ripper pro but this only does dvd's?
Is there a single piece of software for mac that will rip protected blu rays and dvds and encode them for apple tv.
I have a couple of questions re macx dvd ripper as well.
When i did tried to encode a dvd for apple tv no matter what i tried could not get the ac3 pass through to work, any ideas?
Is mpeg-2 the original format on the dvd and when u do an mpeg-2 copy of the dvd is this an exact replica of the original quality or is compression applied?
Is mpeg-2 the video codec or file name?
Its all very confusing for a newb.
Thanks
Dan
