I have been using this app since it first came out. I think it is the best available in its category! I used a couple of others prior to this that I believe the same developer was involved in that were best available during their respective times. I've been sad though for several months. The developer sent an email stating he only intended to release one more version, v9.
This is some kind of a scam. They are unresponsive to requests for assistance. When you try to log in to their assistance, the link is already expired and you are unable to do so. AVOID!
Can't think of any improvements that they haven't already made. Have been using this for over ten years because I haven't found any easier product! Like LKN G-Man, I am concerned that the developer dos not intend to continue beyond v9, the current version. OTOH, I also love their MVRP software for copying from YouTube and the like. Easily the best program I have ever used for this (previously used VideoBox).
I have been using this way back when it was available. It wasn't perfect from the beginning, but the MDRP has advanced like no other out in the market.
Easy to install, to use, and the best of the best.

I have been using this application since version 1 and it always just works. It will rip things that nothing else will touch.
I had an error and contacted the developer and within hours I had a new version to test that fixed the error.
I have owned every version and always look forward to the next update.
Help me to understand the function of the following and why this would be better than a 'free' application such as Handbrake or a 'paid' application like ffWorks...both of which have significantly smaller footprint:
"DVDRemaster has been acquired by DVDSuki Software and will be merged into Mac DVDRipper Pro." That statement is from FIVE YEARS AGO! Five years later it still hasn't happened. I'm glad this product has a free trial. At least I'm not out 25 bucks for a piece of worthless software.
Fast and intuitive. I've ripped several discs and so far so good. Ran into the naming issue mentioned in one of the other reviews and contacted support. They quickly replied that they are aware of it and it will be corrected in the next update.
I've used MDRP since (I think) v3 and have found it to be very effective. When I saw 'per action naming' in the spec for v7 I was keen to get the upgrade. However I can't get this feature to work. All my rips are still coming out as 'disk name + track number'. Has anybody had success with this?
I would like to be able to purchase the update to the app via MacUpdate's Desktop App or via PayPal. The current method (via the fairly frequent emails I get from DVDSuki) only allows for purchasing the upgrade via their website, which is not a secured transaction website.
Other than that, no complaints about this app. Haven't used it in a while but when I did it was pretty flawless in creating .dvdmedia files -- something I need as the subtitle/cc track is needed for my household.
I give this a 4 not a 5 because it offers even less control than earlier versions. The key missing element is DVD Remaster Pro, which I still use because the functions "built in" to Mac DVDRipper that "do the same thing" are useless. I wish they would update and re-issue DVD Remaster. It did was it did very well and still does as a stand alone app. Shame for buying it out and them discontinuing it.
I've owned this product for all versions. Just upgraded for $9.95 to the newest version. Love MDRP! It rips all my DVDs to ISO files perfectly. That way I never have to touch the physical DVDs again.
So far so good. It works 50% better and 75% faster than MacXDVD Ripper. One problem I have though is when just "Rip and convert" the end file does not give the Cover Photo as does other apps. You can not buy it through PayPal which is a pain in the butt. I also use MacXDVD Ripper and RipIt as a last resort if Mac DVDRipper can not perform or has problem reading the DVD.
Mac DVD Ripper Pro works (missing some options, but ok). Only unsafe upgrade options - they need your Credit Card AND your address information!!! Sorry, too easy for criminals & too dangerous! Please, allow upgrades through giro pay, paypal...whatever! Thanks!
great app. best thing about is that it uses handbrake cli for ripping, so it is fast. it can also select a video_ts folder from your files.. easy, straightforward, clean ui.. im giving it 4.5 because you can't drag and drop a video_ts folder into the app, and the "select with player" feature doesn't work for me, but everything else is just fantastic.
This is a great program. I agree with some others that the interface could be better, but one thing sticks in my craw a bit - what on earth is going on that the final size of this program in your Applications folder is a whopping 640MB!! MDRP alone is about half the size of the entire installation of MS Office 2011. That's just not right...
Works reliably, regularly updated, feature packed and easy to use. That about sums it up! It's regular price is fair and at the current 50% off, it's a steal. Buy without hesitation!
Been using it for years without much problem.
From time to time, it will see certain disks as much larger than they are, I think because of DRM spoofing.
Basic and not so great looking GUI but it definitely is the best app for backing up your DVD collection. Always works as expected with great results.
If you need to rip/backup your DVDs, then don't look any further !!
Awesome software but their payment company is rather slow. I did the 9.95 upgrade on Dec 31, 2015 and their payment processing company (paddle.com) didn't run my card until Feb 10, 2016. Over 2 months later! Because of this, I didn't recognize the charge (it just says paddle.com on the statement, nothing about MDRP) and had to get a new card number, assuming my card number had been stolen. Again, I love the software and it works great buy you might want to consider a new payment processor.
I've just upgraded to version 6 but according to Little Snitch MDRP continuously has connection to its servers during converting a dvd to mp4, despite having unchecked the option "send anonymous rip statistics". What's going on here? This is a clear violation of local law as well as the EU privacy Directive (including the upcoming one).
Got version 3 and works just fine. Am I qualified for $9.95 upgrade? And is there any compelling reasons to do so? Is there a list of features and improvements since version 3? thanks!
It is one of the best DVD ripper, I have been using it for years.... but... Why should I pay the full price for the new version as a loyal customer who already has paid for upgrades before?
I've had a few versions of MDRP and due to upgrades, fried hard drives I have had to reinstall it a few times. Each time it called for a purchase and I reached out to the company where they gave me a reinstall key and I did not have to repay. Excellent customer service, excellent product - Customer for life here.
App works as advertised and the support is great! I purchased the latest version, which it is unfortunately not compatible with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. So the support send me a new serial for version 4 and the download-link: http://www.macdvdripperpro.com/MDRP_v419.zip
This a must have in my tool box of "rippers".
Although, I find it frustrating that after ripping i can not add a subtitle file before burning. To add a subtitle file to my "ripped" copy of a movie i have to use another program first.
This just keeps getting better. I've used a number of other ripping apps, but this is by far the best. You have complete control over each rip and you can automate everything too. It also gives you the option to convert all in one step. I highly recommend it.
MDRP 5.01 is excellent at either making a backup of an entire dvd or ripping a single chapter or episode and saving it to .m4v format. It works both with dvd discs and .iso files. It has various options for ripping subtitles as well, but it has never worked no matter what the settings were.
2 Stars less for promising something yet not delivering it.
I find it odd that Mac DVDRipper Pro can't simply edit a dvd and leave its file format unchanged (i.e. remove subtitles or foreign languages). It always converts the results to M4V format. It would be great is this 'feature' would be added to this otherwise great app.
What about the subtitles? Tried to rip and convert in several different ways but no subtitles. Over 600 Mb installed software... I don't have words for this issue. Freeware are better at this. Sorry, but this is not so good.
