DVD Ripper

Hello,
I have recently bought a mac and enjoy the huge hd capacity. I would like to rip my DVD movies on to my mac, so that I can play them without using the disk, so that I can watch movies simultaniously with my brother and sister. Is there any software to use? I tried mac the ripper, and it does not work with quicktime. I tried handbrake, and it only copies 45 minutes of the movie. Can someone help me?

p.s. I am not going to be using this software for pirating, if i wanted to i could just dowload the movies from wherever u download movies. I just want to be able to watch movies DVD-Free thanks,

Use MacTheRipper. You can open the files using Apples DVD Player by selecting the folder to open in DVD Player

Mactheripper is by far the best.

You could also use Handbrake.

Rips the DVD onto your HD as a Quicktime file that you can watch whenever you want without the disk. Takes a while to rip though.

EDIT: Didn't see that you had already tried Handbrake... :p

When I ripped zoolander with it it skipped out on the last chapter, but when I tried it for my Best Of Bowie dvd it worked great.

same think happened, i found out that u cant use the sleep or log out or shut down the comp, as it stops the rip process. Over all handbrake is great tho
