BLK  So far so good!

I do have a question (newbie here). I noticed that after the dvd files have successfully ripped and saved to a specified folder, that an .img file is also created, however it is saved outside of the specified folder in which the files were saved.

In other words, create a folder, save files from MTR to that folder. .img file is saved outside of that folder.

Is this normal?

ADWIZ  MacTheRipper 2.6.6 used to work great, but recent updates by Apple seem to have broken the app. All it does now is continuously ask for the "save to" folder and then do nothing. I use Handbrake to rip my DVDs to Apple TV and my iPod, but some of them have problems with the audio, so with those I first convert them to digital Video TS folders to get around the problem. Guess I'll have to go the long way around now.  (Version 2.6.6)

BDKENNEDY1  I've lived long enough to see it all. The next version of MacTheRipper will need to be activated over the internet.

MacTheRipper was the defacto standard for ripping DVD's on your Mac. Now they have implemented a license protection scheme for their software that phone's home when you connect to the internet.

That's right folks. The developers are so full of themselves that they are protecting their own software that pirates DVD's.

They ask you to donate money to support them even though they haven't had an official release in almost 2 years. Instead, donate your money to DVD2OneX. At least they come out with regular updates.  (Version 2.6.6)
