ROBBNASHVILLE I have both RipIt and Mac DVDRipperPro. I like them both fine. I do admit that I use RipIt more; but I think it's because I had it first and got used to it. It may be faster, as you say; I can't say I've really noticed since I wait until I'm busy doing something else to use either one. I will say though that I've had a couple of DVDs that RipIt could not process that Mac DVDRipper Pro handled flawlessly. The big news in all this for me is Elgato Turbo.264 HD. I don't burn DVDs; I use the software to rip them and make AppleTV files with the Elgato encoder and included software. Talk about fast! A 2-hour movie would take, well 2 hours, in most programs; using the Elgato method, it takes about 40 minutes or even less.
