GREGMLR  This is an excellent ripper for Mac OS X. The interface may not be the most attractive in the world, but it does what you need it to do quickly and efficiently. This app has been able to handle every DVD I have thrown its way, although the Video_TS size of Transformers 2 was about 81GB. I was unaware of using the "Rip as disc image" feature at the time, but will give it a whirl the next time I have this issue arise. For the price, MDRP cannot be beat! I really hope the developer keeps releasing regular updates to this program as it really is the best out there.

GREGMLR  I am using Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" 10.6.1 and have an issue that causes my mouse pointer to disappear when I'm running FVD 2.1.3. This is a sporadic incident and is resolved by closing FVD. Sometimes the my arrow will reappear own its own, only to disappear again.

I know the latest version of FVD was released months before Snow Leopard, I am mostly curious to see if anyone else is having the same issue.

GREGMLR  What is a could-be awesome Front Row replacement is too difficult to get up and running. When using the Apple remote with Plex there are two major issues:

1) Navigating up and down through the main menu turns your system volume up and down as well

2) Hitting the "Menu" button to go back (like you do in Front Row) launches Front Row on top of Plex

Changing the setting for Plex to run on top of other applications does no good.

Done a Google search and found no solution.

Sad, as this could be an awesome solution for users looking for something more feature-rich than Front Row.

GREGMLR  All you hear around cyberspace is how Perian is so fantastic, yet I'm yet to be able to get it to work on my Mac. It states it supports DivX encoded files but I am unable to open them without installing the actual DivX codec from divx.com, after that there are no issues. I've also not noticed any additional playback capabilities as a result of installing Perian without having to download the individual codecs from their respective developers. Seriously, don't waste your time.  
(Version 1.1.4)

GREGMLR  They can support XP but not Tiger in the new version? Fabulous!  
(Version 0.7)

GREGMLR  Doesn't support Tiger!

I guess it's "Shades" for me!  
(Version 1.3)

GREGMLR  Stainless could be a great browser but at current there are quite a few bugs still present in the program. I downloaded Stainless to use for just browsing MySpace, however whenever I'm logged into MySpace, opening a link in a new tab will log me out in the new tab but I can go back to the old one and I'm still logged in. So even though there are tabs, I'm pretty much confined to using just the one. Another fluke in the program would be that after closing a window, but leaving Stainless open in the dock, in order to open a new window you can't simply click the dock icon like with Safari. You have to click the dock icon, then go to the menu bar and click "File, New Window." This will also result in logging you out of MySpace (unlike with Safari) but not other websites (I tried it with BetaNews) so maybe it's just a problem with certain websites.

Other than these problems I'm having, Stainless has great potential to be an awesome browser. The GUI is gorgeous, the best looking browser out there, rivaling even Safari. Plus it's quite snappy and doesn't take up much space which is always a plus.

GREGMLR  No, Roxio products are absolute garbage, ESPECIALLY Toast. They wouldn't honor my rebate when I bought version 8. If Toast was made for Windows it wouldn't make it! I will never buy another Roxio product either.
