Best application to Rip dvds? Best quality rip app?

Pretty eye-opening here too. In Activity Monitor, I saw 790% CPU.

Mine rose to 84C and stabilized. I didn't touch the fans and they slowly rose to 6200.

I have this terrible, old Dell and the fans are so loud. So the MBP fans didn't seem that loud. I thought it was the superdrive at first (ripping DVD).

I would have never thought to be checking the temps, etc without the posts here.

One more note on my plan to get te ripped DVD to the iPhone. I actually used the iPhone 4 preset and it didn't work.

Just a little confused on how "universal" will work if the specific iphone 4 won't.

ATV 2 / Handbrake / Keep Menus, extras

Can I rip a DVD with Rip It, encode with Handbrake (and convert to MP4) and keep all Menu settings, extras, etc.

I wanted to be able to view the DVD from within ATV2 and have access to all the menus, etc.

Thanks!

I use apple TV every single day and i am afraid there is no way to view menus etc. You can still rip your special features and other things using mac the ripper or RipIt so can view them still, just not the way you are thinking

I've always used handbrake without issue

Never had a problem with Handbrake except with the Toy Story DVDs where Handbrake mixed all the chapters which really had the kids confused when the film was streamed to the ATV. Had to watch it through the (rarely used) DVD player at the end but it wasn't a big deal.

as i have made the optibay mod.. im thinkin of getting a blu-ray reader and rip the blurays to mkv, then hopefully use handbrake to convert them into a more useful format!

i do think comprated to all the others i have tried handbrake wins handdown

Any reasons why iMAC can't/won't get Blu Ray readers? What is a good alternative? It would need to be something external obviously but what...??

Before there was a 64 bit version of VLC for OSX (And I was too lazy to downgrade Handbrake to 32 bit), I used a combination of fairmount and Handbrake. It worked pretty darn well.

I have found RipIt to be the best at getting in on the HD and I like DVD2oneX2 for my slight compression to fit on a single sided DVD. It's flawless at stripping all the extra's, subtitles, foreign audio tracks, and whatnot out for a clean and often uncompressed copy of the movie itself. Really a nice combo. I used to use Toast but they seem to be getting worse and worse.

Mac DVDRipper Pro allows you to copy DVDs. Once ripped, you can then use software such as DVDRemaster, to recompress them so they can be burned on a standard DVD""
