Applications :: Best Paid Dvd Ripper - Aisesoft - Toast 10?
Dec 30, 2009
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?
was surprised to see iStat menus is now a paid app. So if I update, I'll have to buy it.
Its a nice app, but I'm not sure if its needed, even if its only 10 bucks.
Anyone else care to chime in on this?
Don't get me wrong, if I like an application, I'll buy it. I've purchased delta walker (compare utility) and will be upgrading my transmit to version 4.
Its just this type of eye candy - is it worth 10 bucks (that's the discounted price, it will go up)
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.
When using MTR I wanted to know if I could rip it so that i still have the menu's and chapter (and the main feature). If i was to choose Title-Chapter it comes up with S chapters and E chapters.. so i select the first S and last E?
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!
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!
I recently downloaded some tv shows from the internet. I converted one show (21 minutes) to watch later on my iphone. I first used the convert option on roxio toast and this procedure took almost 2 hours. Then out of curiosity i did the same thing on handbrake. Handbrake only took 15 minutes. Also the quality from the handbrake app looks a whole lot better. So i guess my question is why is handbrake so much better with a free app?
how to back up to a CD, from where to back up and how to reload the back up to the hard drive. I'm particularly concerned because it seems that I lost several months of Quicken data from my hard drive.
In preparation for my move to Mac I am looking at purchasing Toast 10.
Excuse my ignorance but what will purchasing Toast 10 give me over the included iDVD and any other utilities that come with an iMac.My iMac has not arrived,
I just purchased Toast 10 Titanium Pro with the hopes of being able to burn blu-ray DVDs using my MBP which I purchased last December (2008) with a CD/DVD burner: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868.
Do I need to purchase a special blu-ray drive (internal or external) to do this? I was told by my Apple rep that my dvd burner was fine and that I needed to use Final Cut Pro. I read that Toast 10 Titanium Pro was also compatible to make blu-ray DVDs.
when I go the DVD-Video section I put all the videos I wanted in and the chapters/Menu I wanted etc.
Then it said that I had a mixture of both PAL and NTSC (or however you spell it) which I already knew and was fine with because I wanted to test out what my PS3 could read and could not between files of .mkv, .avi, and .mp4 (ironically it play/read everything but the .mp4).
I've been burning DVDs and I've noticed Toast needs to encode the movie before it burns it. What exactly is encoding? Is it converting? Also, what format does Toast use to burn DVDs?
I followed the directions on this website:[IRL] It didn't play in my DVD player because they say to burn it as a data disc. I dont know that if I used the Video TS option that subtitles will still work.
I have .dv files I want to write to a disc and then add the same movie in an mp4 as data. So the movie will play in the DVD player, but if I want that same movie into iTunes, I can just grab it off the dvd. I've been trying to find a way in toast 8, but cant get it to work.
I've tried to create a dvd-video --> disc image. Then open up the disc image and grab the video_ts and audio folders and drag them back into toast under the data tab along with the mp4 clip. It will burn, but won't play back in any DVD player. The Video_Ts, audio_ts and mp4 file all show up on the dvd in the computer, but the DVD player won't play it.
why Toast Titanium increase file size? I'm trying to put a few episodes of an anime onto a regular DVD disc. Now the file is 563.1MB, but when I put it in Toast in the DVD-Video section, it tells me that 1.99GB on 1 disc.
Having problems importing audio files from itunes to toast. When imported the file becomes distorted and impossible to listen to . Sound file is fine in itunes but something is happening in the transition.
I have been using Toast since it first came out and I have really enjoyed the latest version as well. However about a month ago Toast 8 just quit launching. It just bounces in the dock then disappears. I tried the one on my backup drive and it does the same thing. I have a Powerbook G4 17" 1.67ngz with 1 GB RAM. I installed Toast 8 on my girlfriends IMAc 24" Intel and it still works perfectly. I've looked on the Interweb and found some similar complaints but now solutions.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no luck. I even tried an older version I have and it didn't work either. All the bundled applications that come with Toast 8 with the except of CD Spin Doctor work fine. When I try to launch CD Spin Doctor I get this error message: This application requires Toast 8 Titanium or later to run on your system. The application will now quit. I have Toast 8 Titanium right freaking here" it just won't load... no error message for it however.
I bought Roxio Toast Titanium 5.0 and downloaded the 5.2.1 update so I could burn some DVDs on my iMac (which is about 2 months old). I set it to record a video_ts file from one of the DVD discs that I've ripped to the hard drive. It records the files and verifies, then it says that the DVD was burned fine. The problem is that when I try it on any DVD player, the disc will not play. It won't play in a stand-alone DVD player, on the iMac nor on my PC. I checked what was burned, and all the files were recorded fine. I've gone through 6 discs with the same result. The only time it recorded anything viewable, was when I set it for "disc copy" and even then, the entire DVD was not recorded because of some error and when I popped it in the player, the portion that was recorded was very pixelated and unwatchable.
I have a .mov file from iMovie that I would like to burn on to a DVD. I am using the latest version of Toast Titanium 8 (which I bought as an update from Toast 6 in the hope that it would fix the problem) but I keep coming up with Error messages.
I love the soundtrack from looney tunes sheep raider and I can't find it anywhere and there is no application for mac that can extract the xa files from a ps1 disc, can toast do the trick?
How can I set toast not to close the cdrw disk I am writing on? I want to be able to continue to add files after one burn, but how do I set Toast to do this?
I'm trying to burn a DVD that has both video and data. As in, when it's inserted into a regular DVD player it will play like a video DVD, but there's also data files if inserted into a computer. The video file is in a .iso format and the data files are .pdf's.
