    For a start read some of the other posts to this forum. You should find a couple of methods covered in the last few weeks.

    Then ask if you have a specific question.

    I have looked around - and I downloaded the package that they suggested (Mac DVD Rip tools)... the only package available for macs I think... and now that I have it - I'm not sure what to do first. my DVDextractor seems to work (it opens, and shows the contents of the DVD but I can't get it to do anything else usefull)... but others (DEMUX & QT mutator) don't seem to even work... do I have everything I need?

    I don't verify but i usually burn a test DVD-RW :)

    oh and in case you didn't know I usually use:
    osex/DVD backup
    transcoder
    and sizzle

    sometimes I'll use mediapipe etc...

    now where's that link for mac DVD rip tools???

    i used 0SEx to extract the audio and video, and transcoder to resize the video but now i want to use the original AC3 audio file but sizzle won't recognize it.

    is there a way to combine the resized video and the original audio together?

    cheers
