DVD ripping on Mac OSX
« on: October 12, 2013, 08:52:18 pm »
We have over 300 DVD's going to charity in the next couple of weeks but there are a few i would like a copy of.

As we could be talking 40+ i am looking for a quick, easy way to copy DVD's on Mac OSX, ideally Freeware - any suggestions?

Handbrake. It's virtually real time conversion I'm afraid.

Handbrake is good, dependant on your CPU grunt (an OC'd i7 really helps) you should get through them fairly quickly... worth allowing the System free reign whilst chomping, to cut down on processing time. :happy2:

Handbrake doesn't circumnavigate the copy protection on commercial DVDs, though, does it? It works slowly because of Apple's crummy drives. I can copy a DVD in about 15 minutes on my PC!

In that case PM the OP you address.... Shouldn't take you long to do 40 DVDs!!!

A non-Apple external drive helps, I believe. Apple SuperDrive firmware has a feature called Riplock built in which is the cause of the slowness.

Why not just actually keep the ones you want to keep? :P

For reference and if you have access to a PC, I use slysoft's AnyDVD and CloneDVD. It comes with a free 21 day trial licence, so you'd get 3 weeks in which to do what you require before they'd want you to purchase the products. You'll get nagged, but it is fully functional...

When I tried tried Handbrake on my iMac it would only burn the DVDs in M4V format that wouldn't play on my Blu-ray player.
Mind you when it comes to tech...

try another program called AppGeeker DVD Ripper, it rips videos from dvd's to mp4/avi and other formats fairly quickly on your Mac.

I've had great luck using it for movies, give it a shot.
