My original MDRP review said "It just works! No more MacTheRipper nonsense! "

I am now happily using MTRP version 3.1 with zero problems. My origianl rview comment stands.

Member Virgeist replied on 29 Jan 2012
"It's worth mentioning that MTR has many features that MDRP lacks, such as handling region codes and removing warnings and other annoyances. I have a DVD collection that spans 3 different zones and this is a lifesaver. So while MDRP is a better alternative for the average user and an excellent piece of software by itself, it can be fairly useless for people with specific needs."

I'm glad MTR works for Virgeist but it does not for me.

I had used MTR in the past and the last version that sort of worked was v3.0 build 11 on my Intel Mac.

I've made the requisite "donations" for versions 1,2, 3 and 4 yet the folks at MTR are obnoxious when I've tried to sort out why the last two versions do not work. They take your money yet offer zero support.

MTR has the worst software support that I've ever encountered and will not waste my money on MTR again.

Apologies for sounding naive, but is there any practical difference between using this and the tools freely available in OS X? Just asking as my DVD's are currently ripped by inserting a DVD movie into the Mac's DVD player and just imaging it to a DVD/CD Master Disk Image which, once opened, plays fine the Mac DVD player.

The difference is quite vast actually. I'm not even precisely sure what you mean by "imaging it to a DVD/CD Master". If you're using Disk Utility I'm doubtful it will always work.

The larger difference is that it's not really a rip. You cannot convert the result to any other format for any other device or software or make any significant alteration because all anti-copy protection measures are still in place.

The point is to convert your DVDs to .mp4 files. Fisrt RIP using MDPR3 then encode using Handbrake. Much smaller, easier to play and without all the rubbish on a DVD.

Most DVDs anyway won't fit onto the cheaper 4.4Gb media and the dual layer DVDs are ridiculously expensive and slow to burn.

Forget the old method of sticking disks into players. That's so last century!

Thanks for he replies. Yes DVDs are on the way out.

What I meant by "imaging it to a DVD/CD Master" was making a Disk Image of my kids' school concert from the home made DVD provided by their school, which does not have anti-copy protection software built into the DVD disk. In that scenario, I've never had a problem using Disk Utility to "Rip" the DVD movie. However, from the comments here, it seems that MacDVDRipper Pro is a bit more like MacTheRipper and that being the case then yes, I can see how it would be much different to making a Disk Image of a DVD movie. Will now give it a go.

I bought v1 years ago, I use for only 3 DVDs and it did the jobs. I just sent an email to the authors asking a discount coupon for v3 because I bought V1 and I received 1 hour after a register code for v3.
I will now test this v3 which looks much greater than v1.
Thanks to MDRP team :-) .

I have been using MDRP to convert my very large collection of DVDs to run on a Home Media Server.

It does an excellent job, RIPing virtually everything even some quite scuffed DVDs.

I then encode the results with Handbrake which also does a very good job. It would be nice to Rip and convert in one go but the 2 stage method means I can feed DVDs to the Mac and batch convert after.

I would like to be able to rename DVDs which have no sensible name but that is all I can think of.

@Rubaiyat,
MacX DVD Ripper Pro (note the very slight change in title from this product Mac DVDRipper Pro - an added 'X' after Mac, and space between 'DVD' and 'Ripper'). The site is http://www.macxdvd.com/mac-dvd-ripper-pro/ can do the rip and convert in one step. I find the product produces comparable output to MDRP, with the advantage of combining MDRP and Handbrake into one product. IMO. I'm not being negative about MDRP, I still use and keep it in case I run into a disc that MacX DVD Ripper Pro won't handle, just noting there are other options.

Rubaiyat replied on 20 Dec 2011
Yes I noticed this when I was looking around for alternatives.

The advantage of separating the RIP and the encoding is that the RIP takes a fixed time, as fast as the DVD reader reads, but setting up, naming and converting to .mp4 files for whatever end use is variable and best done in a queue which can run in a thread/s of its own.

Doing the two separately is a better workflow, especially where you may need multiple versions say for an iPhone/iPod Touch and one for ATV2 or XBMC/Plexor/Boxee on your Mac.

On my iMacs/s I run the RIP and the encoding side by side, which in the long run is much faster.

To All:
Anyone have any experience with the product MacX DVD Ripper Pro (note the very slight change in title from this product Mac DVDRipper Pro - an added 'X' after Mac, and space between 'DVD' and 'Ripper'). The site is http://www.macxdvd.com/mac-dvd-ripper-pro/.

It is priced at $35.95, and appears to do be able to do everything that Mac DVDRipper Pro can do (rip) and also convert straight to MP4 as well as other formats, including specific settings for iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, etc. It also can compress long movies to fit on a 4.7GB disk. I don't believe Mac DVDRipper Pro can do this? And Mac DVDRipper Pro only converts to MP4, no other formats? Otherwise both seem very comparable. MacX DVD Ripper Pro also comes in an identical Windows version, so those needing both platforms who want to learn just one program I guess would like this product.

Just curious if anyone new of any feature in either product that the other doesn't have, or whether one performed better than the other.

My ripper of choice until recently. Lately many ISO rips turn out unplayable junk. I actually see what looks like encrypted data in the preview as it's attempting the rip.

Vendini had trouble on 09 Aug 2011
Since i'm using an external LG player, I'm encountering a strange issue when i try to copy the whole disk image on an iso.file.
After creating the iso.file, I'm unable to open it. I receive the following message : no mountable file system", so it seems the .iso file is corrupt.
However, if I choose the " all the videos, menus and bonus" option, everything goes fine.
This happens both on Lion or on Snow Leopard.
I must add that I have a SSD mounted in the place of the Superdrive on a 27" iMac i7.
Any ideas would be welcome...

Same here with a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-112D, in a Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4 Dual Processor--"Fatal Error" when DVDRipper tries to do its initial look at any DVD. I suspect this is an issue between DVDRipper, and the ATA bus in PPC Macs--I suspect DVDRipper would work fine with this drive if I were to remove it and place it into a Firewire drive enclosure.

Something odd here.... Apparently the Closed-Captions are eliminated from the rip...
At least they are not present in the ripped .iso, and I've checked it with two dvds.

Anyone else have this problem?

Also a request: next version add a Feedback menu item, and a way to visit the website for support please!

This software is NOT to make the original DVD smaller to fit on one disk. This just puts the file on your computer with no protection so it can be used.

You need to use the free handbrake program to convert to a smaller size or a commercial program to make it fit on one disk.

MDRP creates a hidden ".dvdcss" folder in a user's home directory. This folder contains a record of every DVD that MDRP has ripped. It would be nice if MDRP removed entries from this folder at the conclusion of each rip, or cleaned this folder out on quit.

@DRDUL: Mac the Ripper also leaves this folder behind with all the DVDs that you ripped. Are you sure it is not from Mac The Ripper? I have not used this software, but am very familiar with the .dvdcss hidden folder...

Marc-Marshall replied on 11 Feb 2011
At least with v2, that folder doesn't appear to contain many, if any, of the things that MDRP rips; it appears to be left over from MacTheRipper. (Although oddly, a single disc out of a hundred that I ripped with MDRP seemed to have an entry there.)

That said, since MDRP has an option to warn you if you're re-ripping a disc you've already done, it seems like it must store a list somewhere. The cache.db file in your Library, maybe?
