Mac DVD Ripper

zhowlett · 08-08-2009, 04:34 PM

I am looking at backing up some of my DVD's on my Mac and do not know of any good ripping software to use. I would like the DVD's to be around 700MB range if that is possible like you find on the torrent sites. I have done a little research and Mactheripper and Handbrake come up. Any insight on which program I could use to help me achieve this??

It looks like you're looking for 2 different things. Ripping-software-wise, I like the program Ripit. Once it's ripped, to compress it down to single-layer size - Toast has a "shrink to fit" option.

Good luck!

Just use handbrake. It'll do it all in one go.

Handbrake is a video trans coder.

Take them time to read some of the documentation before you use it to get the best results.
