This will save the DVD to a MP4 file that the iPad should be able to play.

@ghjia You would do the same thing, rip it to your computer using RipIt. The only difference is that you can use RipIt’s Compress button instead. This will save the DVD to a MP4 file that the iPad should be able to play.

You can burn the .dvdmedia files that RipIt makes to DVD. If you have Toast, you select the VIDEO_TS Folders DVD Video option, then you can view the contents of the DVD_NAME.dvdmedia file. Toast should sort out what Video TS file is the main movie and what ones are extra. In any case, you can choose what Video TS files you want and tell Toast to use “Fit-to-DVD Compression”, which compresses the video in order to fit on a single layer DVD. A pretty straight forward, easy way to burn to disc.

[This is not a detailed procedure, but a summarized procedure to illustrate the ease of burning a RipIt .dvdmedia file to disc]

While I like Ripit and handbrake, there is no way to burn the DVDs back to play on a stand alone DVD player. Does anyone know of any software that will convert from mp4 to DVDmedia or something that will play on my component player?

It’s a temperamental piece of software as far as successful ripping and burning goes. It will tell you that each rip was successful (unless the disc is terribly damaged or scratched) and you will be able to play the Video TS files on your Mac DVD player. While the files seem ok, most of them WILL have defective structures, leaving you with chopped menus or no functionality what so ever once burnt to a disc. For a powerhouse performance computer like a Mac Book Pro its programs have nothing on the conventional PC version of CloneDVD2 and AndyDVD. Hours spent wasting discs, time and mental energy was solved by going back to my PC and using CloneDVD2.

I downloaded the newest version of RipIt and find myself confused. I am no computer expert by any means, but when I click a button that says “RIP” (after reading what this program is supposed to do), I expected there to be something on my HD. There a file in my movie folder using the .dvdmedia extension. But when I go use that file, DVD Player cannot play it because it does not support that type of file. WTF???!!!! Movie I’m having problems with is 300. I’ll try it again with The Transporter. Out of ten free rips, I’m down one with no results. I’ll post back with results.

The successful rip claims made by RipIt are way overstated.

The very first DVD I tried to rip failed. The second DVD I tried to rip, “successfully” ripped according to RipIt but when playing the movie it was a jumble with chapters out of order and in some cases duplicated chapters.

I evaluated RipIt as I am looking for something that will help improve the conversion of the 700+ DVD library for easy access through Plex. RipIt is definitely not it.

If you’re thinking about buying it, make SURE you take full advantage of the trial period to test it on DVDs. You’re likely to find, as I did, that about 40% of DVDs don’t work. Many of those will rip, but when you go to watch them … well … you’ll find the rips are a mess.

I want to love this software – unfortunately it has failed well over 1/2 the time in my tests.

This interface is kind of like AppZapper… Simple but does the work, and doesn’t confuse newbies to Mac.

Actually, using the latest Handbrake, I have been able to rip full length movies in less than 30 minutes. Two hour home movies that is.

I just bought RipIt, and from what I could find it was actually the cheapest option for full DVD backups. The download links for MacTheRipper are dead, and it appears that the 3.0 version which never left beta was going to be shareware for ~$30-40. HandBrake is great, but I didn’t want to spend countless hours converting movies to MP4 to have something to watch on some long flights. Looking around on iusethis all the other backup options cost ~$30-50.

Yeah, just open it with handbrake, and it will act like a regular DVD file.

VisualHub: yes also, but, since Techspansion closed, you are better off using Handbrake.

Can you convert the dvdmediafile using handbreak or visual hub to another format?
