Mac The Ripper Problem

[pbone]

So, I wanted to burn a DVD today and when I put it into my computer to use MacTheRipper (like I've done dozens of times before), but MTR is telling me that the DVD is 35.53 GB in size. Which is impossible. Unless there was a big technology change in the last couple of days.

I tried quitting the application and ejecting/re-inserting the DVD a couple times but still 35.53GB. 🙁

What up?

Excuse me. Make that 53.35GB.

What DVD is it? If it's a recent one, it may have more complex copy-protection that would confuse the (old/free, I presume) version of MTR you are using.

It is a good sign that the copy protection is taking over. In this case you'll have to use something like handbreak where you can hunt down the correct video_ts file. When I ripped or tried to rip Wall-E (which I own) this happened. Fairmount took hours and hours to transfer the files then I had to find the correct one.

MTR is incapable of doing all that in my opinion. For me it is fairmount then handbreak.

OP, was the DVD in question Adventureland? I am having the same problem.

Slighty off-topic, but from the discussion I remember on the HandBrake forums, the Wall-E main feature is in Title 1, and so if you avoid ripping all the other titles you'll come out with a clean copy.

Actually, that might be The Dark Knight I'm thinking of.
