Applications :: Best DVD Ripper / Compressor?
Dec 30, 2010
So I just got a new AppleTV for Christmas. I started saving my movies to my computer/iTunes. Tried Casino Royale with RipIt and it turned out great. However since then I've tried Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (the extended edition) several different times and I just haven't gotten it to work.
Tried it with RipIt and it flat out didn't work. Didn't even result in a playable format. Tried Handbrake and the audio drops out completely 3/4 of the way through side A of the movie. Tried ripping it via MakeMKV then converting it to an AppleTV friendly format through Handbrake and the video turned out horrible. Then I tried ripping it via Mac The Ripper and then compressing via Handbrake it and once again the audio drops out completely. Is there any other way to get the extended edition of Lord of the Rings into iTunes with good video quality and not having the audio dropout problems?

I need a ripper that works with 10.5 server. I have tried Hand brake and Mac the ripper. Mac the ripper does not work at all. Hand brake goes through the motions, but never saves the file. I used the same version on my core duo macbook and it worked fine. Any ideas? I don't mine paying for one.

Anyone familiar with this program on PC? I am after a Mac equivalent if one exists. Basically it allows you to rip a DVD straight to .avi, .mov etc without having to save the image first. It was good because it showed the titles on the DVD especially the TV series discs that several episodes. I have looked at a few different programs but they only show the DVD files in their native format, not the individual episodes.

I read a post the other day saying how people use MTR to rip onto the HDD and then use HB to do the encoding (thus saving usage on the optical drive).
However, I don't quite get the point. I'm trying to rip the last disc of Family Guy which has two eps and then a ton of pointless extras. With HandBrake I can see which two are the eps and rip them. With MTR I jave to do all 6.5GBs and then encode - it takes ages!
Can I not preview and set up a queue in MTR?

I'm really frustrated of all the crap free DVD ripping programs so I've decided to buy one. Handbrake will only rip certain region ones, MacTheRipper gives me this DUMMY VOB warning and I'm just wasting my time. I don't think any of the free ones will actually be good because the movie industry is trying to make everything so hard. I guess the paid ones will be better since they probably have a special way of working around the DVD. So yes finally. I just can't be bothered anymore. I'll buy one. Conditions:
1) Ones that can rip the EXTRAS & BONUS FEATURES (like bloopers and DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY) of the DVD as well as the movie itself
2) Good quality
3) Good price (not too over-priced)
4) Converter so that I can put it on my iPod but I want other formats. Avi and stuff like that, ones that I actually need. Unlike WAV or OGG or other ones that I haven't even heard of.
I've heard of one called Aisesoft? And also Toast 10?

I've tried bringing stuff over on CD, but its not really working as its not massively organised like in my PC iTunes, and obviously on the phone. Does anyone know a good ripper, but free? I've searched the forums, and google'd it, but they're all costing, and I've just spent enough money on this damn MacBook Pro!

Am I able to copy the Compressor App (part of the final cut pro suite) to another Computer with a legitimate serial? It's only on one computer at present but I'd like to transfer it to another computer as it only has DVD Studio Pro and FCP - no compressor.
Can I just copy the Icon onto a HD and past it onto the other computer or will I have to copy all the files associated with it too?

I'm running iTunes 7.6 on a MBP 2.4GHz with 10.5.2 installed. Last night, after having a problem with Compressor not launching(ie it would launch but no window would display), I was forced to take Apple's Compressor Troubleshooting basics and trash Compressor, Qmaster, and Motion. I reinstalled those applications without a hitch and everything is working. Or so it seems until this morning when I tried to play a song in iTunes. It would hang up briefly, then quit. The subsequent error message was that "...The Problem may have been caused by the FX plug-in." I trashed CoverSutra, thinking that may have been the problem, despite the fact I never used it. I even uninstalled iWOW2 with no results. Trashing the iTunes .plist did yield some positive results as songs would play, but if I tried to quit iTunes, it will automatically relaunch.
After perusing the Apple support discussion, it seems this is a common problem, although many of the reports were from last month. I just find it odd that all of a sudden I'm now encountering these problems. I do have Synergy installed, but I've never had any problems with it before in the past and even with it not running, iTunes still behaves poorly.

I used DVD Decrypter on my PC, but now that I have a Mac, it doesn't work on Macs. I downloaded Mac The Ripper, but what used to take 5 minutes to rip a DVD, now take a half an hour.

I wanted to make a backup of a double-sided DVD using Mac The Ripper. It ripped one side with no problem but refuses the other one. It recognizes the presence of the DVD, seems to scan the DVD correctly and the Go! button is then ready to be pushed, but when pushed it flashes (in a tiny fraction of a second) the word Cancel that's in the same box and does nothing else. I've looked in the manual; I've tried restarting MTR; I've tried rebooting the computer; I've tried all that again on another computer. Nothing seems to make any difference.

I downloaded MTR to rip some of the Region 1 DVDs I own. My MAC is set to Region 2, as I am in Belgium. At the end of the rips I receive a message saying that the disk has bad sectors and may not be played properly. Indeed, VLC refuses to play the ripped files... I know that this is most likely the Arccos protection. However, I thought that MTR 2.6.6 was able to remove it. You can even select this in under the "Mode" section, there are two options to strip off the Arccos protection.

I bought FCPX and Compressor because all my Kool-aid drinking Mac friends said you have to have this to edit (former Avid user). Learning as I go and I am very impressed with the FCPX software from where I came from.
However, I don't see anyway to make chaptered menus in Compressor 4? Really??? I know DVDs are not the future but they are sure the present right now. What they currently use to get a project off the timeline and into a chaptered DVD that I can duplicate and hand to people.....

Having just upgraded the FCP suite to the latest (4.1.2 for Compressor) I've run into a bug that has been affecting other users in earlier versions, e.g.: Compressor 4.1.1 crashes when trying to create custom setting from scratch..Basically I run Compressor, and choose the "New Setting..." option under the lower left drop-down menu.
I get a spinning beach ball, then the app crashes.I've tried a full reinstall of the app after deleting it and it's associated preferences and app support files. I've also logged in under a clean new user account and the same thing happens, so it must be some issue on a system level.
The only workaround I've found from another thread is to duplicate an existing setting and modify it from there. But clearly it would be better if it didn't crash. For those who might be interested in the details, here is the crash log:
Process: Compressor [710]
Path: /Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor
Identifier: com.apple.Compressor
Version: 4.1.2 (249189)
Build Info: Compressor-24918009038000000~1

Running 4.1.3 with FCPX and Send to Compressor has all of the distributed processing groups greyed out in the selection drop down. I can only run compressor on This Computer.
If I export the file from FCPX and then drop that into Compressor from the finder it works fine. Is there a reason it is not working when directly connected?
I have deleted and reinstalled both apps but get the same results.

My iPad works while it's plugged in, however when I take it off the charger, power it down then try to power on let's say an hour later, it will not turn on unless connected to the charger. When I power it off it has over 50% battery life.

I have h.264 footage from smartphone with 29.8 fps (container mp4) and converting to ProRes via Compressor i have the issue as follows:
1. If i set automatic fps in Compressor to 30fps, converted footage to ProRes playbacks smoothly.
converted footage available here: [URL] ....
2. If i set automatic fps near original 29.97 fps, converted footage to ProRes playbacks stutters (especially if you pay attention to the part of footage, where child is going toward a house wall).
converted footage available here: [URL] ....
Original footage: [URL] ....
However, if I repeat the same processes in Adobe Encoder, footage playbacks smoothly in both cases:
Footage converted via Adobe Encoder 29.97fps Apple ProRes: [URL] ...
Footage converted via Adobe Encored 30fps Apple ProRes: [URL] ...
It does not matter which type of ProRes i choose, problem persists in all of them under 29.97 fps.

I would like to be emailed a notification that my render has been complete.
I can't seem to find any info on how to set up an email notification when a render is complete.
My Compressor is on a computer that is used by many people so I don't want to have an applescript create an email via apple mail as that would mean my emails would be available on that machine.
I seem to remember on version 3 this being available but I can not even find the settings in compressor 4.1.2. How this can be done?

I'm uprezzing clips from a public domain flick to match my FCPX timeline of 1080i. (Might as well to see how it looks.) The public domain flick is 24fps. Should I change it to 29.97, or does it matter?
If I should change it, what choice do I choose in the retiming panel? 30@29.97? 29.97@30?
