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.

I just tried it to rip a Disney protected DVD and it did the job fine...

I'm close to having backed up 1000 of my DVDs to HD. Only 2 haven't RIPed correctly.

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.

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!

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 will now test this v3 which looks much greater than v1.
Thanks to MDRP team :-) .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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?
