Re: for MAC?
Wed, February 9, 2005 - 8:07 PMso i got on the mac the ripper tip -- and the discs i have burned don't play in my mac and on some dvd players.
is it the region issue. MTR defaults to making the disc playable on all regions. -

Re: for MAC?
Thu, February 10, 2005 - 6:07 AMAn all-region(or Region "0") disc should play in all DVD players. What DVD players have they worked on? What format are they? DVD-R/RW or DVDS+R/RW? -

Re: for MAC?
Thu, February 10, 2005 - 1:29 PMwhen i have authored my own discs using DVDSP and burned them with the same burned i used to burn these movies i have never had a problem with them in any players. that is why i am wondering if there is something i am missing. when MTR extracts i get a folder with all the data in their appropriate folders on my HD. then do i just drag that all in toast under the "data" tab? maybe that is where i have done it wrong. -

Sat, February 12, 2005 - 5:25 PMso far.
although it looks like i can use DVD studio pro to write the extracted data to disc -- which i will try. i imagine that would write it as an industry-compatible disc.
my next question is -- what program for the mac should i use to shrink the data for single layer?
oh! and do you know what? this daewoo dvd player i have so far cannot playback the audio on two criterion collection discs -- not copies -- the orginals, before i copy them! yes, if there's audio looped over the menu, it plays that, but then for the actual movie, it plays silent. only on Criterion discs! is that weird or what! what could cause that ...? -

DVD Shrink should be cool. I'm not familiar with other Mac shrink software.
"the orginals, before i copy them! yes, if there's audio looped over the menu, it plays that, but then for the actual movie, it plays silent. only on Criterion discs! is that weird or what! what could cause that ...?"
Have other Criterions had any problems on your Daewoo? What soundtrack formats/options do the problem discs have?

I use DVD2OneX on my PowerBook... works like a dream. There's a windows version, as well, I believe. I have a copy of Roxio Popcorn but I've not used it except once... it's an all-in-one thing... rips, shrinks and burns. I think Popcorn compresses badly and it doesn't seem to let me remove audio tracks that I'll never use.

Mon, February 14, 2005 - 9:54 AMAre you copying the Full Title or Main Feature only?
What I do once I've done the Mac the Ripper bit and have the files ... and I generally just do the Main Feature only to save drive space ... is copy the Video_TS folder to Toast ... Data, DVD. (The program I use to make DVD's of my own work saves it as a disk image, so I have to remember to choose DVD for pira...I mean ... backing up.)
The title folder needs to be in All Caps. There needs to be an Audio_TS folder and it has to be empty.
I've had no problem playing MTR extract discs on my computer (both OSX and OS9 machines) and the DVD player, which is a samsung. -

Re: for MAC?
Mon, February 14, 2005 - 4:22 PMthanks guys!
1. is there a way to get DVD2OneX for free? i've only found it for sale on the web.
2. the last disc i burned, i pointed DVD studio Pro at the folder MTR extracted and burned from within the app. worked great -- plays on the Mac and on all players i have tried. so that is solved.
3. the Criterion/Daewoo issue -- have played 3 Crtierion discs (again, not copies) and the audio of the movie does not play -- and the settings are not the issue, because all other discs play fine. WTF.
next (and i think final) question -- what is a good app to extract the movie as a Quicktime/MPEG-2? MTR only results in the Video_TS and empty Audio_TS folders -- muxed, and all that.

Mon, February 14, 2005 - 8:11 PMbbdemux will take the vob files and demux them into mpg and ac-3 streams.
if for some reason it doesn't ... I've experienced some quirks with vob files with lots of audio streams, there's another ripping program called OsEX. There's also a new looking program on Versiontracker that looks useful called drop2dv
