what happened to mac the ripper?

[FROST18E]

I should first state that this is my first post with my first Apple, a Mac Book Pro... very nice..

Anyways I tried to download mac the ripper to copy my dvd's to an external hard drive and the mactheripper.org website can't be accessed?! Anybody have any ideas what else I can do and are you getting the same results?

Although MtR isn't Universal yet (released for intel macs) it should still function OK under Rosetta (Get Info on MacTheRipper.app and place a tick in the 'Run Under Rosetta" box.)

I also like to use MediaFork and ffmpegX, they all have their uses and I like to have a few of these apps onboard.

Insert DVD... Let's say The 25th Hour.
Open MacTheRipper... it will "scan" the DVD..
Click GO on the MacTheRipper
I believe the default is to save the folder to the desktop..
Once MacTheRipper is done, it will say something like: "Complete... don't do anything illegal".. click ok. Then eject The 25th Hour DVD.

Now open Toast.
Click Video
Select Video from TS Folder (something like that).

Drag the 25th_Hour Folder from the desktop into the TOAST Window.
Click the RED button in the lower Right Corner (HUGE RED button )
A pop-up will have some settings on it.. just click "OK"
Another pop-up will say something like "Please Insert Media"... Don't just stand there.. DO IT!!!

Insert your Blank DVD...

Go get some "Iced Milk" (Get a glass full of ice, and fill it with milk)while you wait....

When Toast is done you'll hear the "Ding!"... A pop-up will ask if you'd like to Eject or Mount.. Click Eject, and try it out in your Stand-alone DVD player.

If you want to copy them to your hard drive, I would suggest checking out Handbrake instead of Mac the Ripper. This way you can save a ton of space if you're just watching the movies on your Macbook.

The easiest way is for you to search the forum for Baggss (member) and look for his signature at the bottom of any post as it has a link to a step by step walkthrough for MediaFork (click link) which is the predecessor of HandBrake.

I can assure you the walkthrough is excellent!
