If it is taking that long to rip the DVD you'll want to clean off the
disk. It shouldn't take any longer than a half hour or so to extract a
7 gig dvd--remember, mtr is not doing any sort of encoding it is just
copying and removing any encryption. From the sounds of it you're
getting stuck, probably on a fingerprint or a scratch. Clean the disk
off and try it again.
The actual encode can take up to two hours or more, depending on the
CPU speed and encoding options. But that's done in handbrake, mtr does
not do that.

Hi,
All,
I am just wondering what the different options are for ripping DVDs
with Mac The Ripper. MTR has the default of extract the entire dvd,
but what can I do to have it rip faster. Is there things I don't
need? It has taken over two hours to rip and is still having a while
to go. it shows up as 7 gig and point 31. Maybe I don't need other
laguages, I have no idea.
Thanks for listneing,
Alex,
