Oh well i have some good news for you. That whole Mac the Ripper step youve been using, you dont have to! Simply pop in your DVD, open up Handbrake, click Source, select the DVD, select the iPhone template, and click start. One step and your movie will be ripped and converted with one click of the mouse. If youre ripping a TV show dvd, you can even queue up every chapter you want to rip and run it. Therefore, you dont have to keep coming back to your Mac to start the next one. Handbrake is truly a wonderful piece of software.
