SOrry, I read the article above about ripping with MTR. Now that MTR if free, is there a compressor that is free for the Mac, like DVDShrink for the PC? Or do I simply use MTR to Rip and Compress? Thanks for all your help. The only reason I ask is because most movies of mine are more than two hours long when I do movie only.
All Right, youll have to use a ripper that will demux (I think mac the ripper does if you select the title-chapter mode and hit the little D in the right bottom corner). Then download Minx Free Transcoder (Compressor). Now drag the Mpeg2 file and the AC3 audio in and compress. It actually works good (I tried it before I bought DVD2one but it took to long) But be careful it takes a while (I personaly recomend DVD2one. here is where to downloadminx transcoder: http://www.hillmanminx.net/transcoder/
