I'd imagine cleaning a dvd with a piece of toilet paper would be too
rough? I also thought about using a baby wipe, but then was like, ya
know, that may not be a great idea, as these things have aloe lotion
in them, so that may film up on it and ruin it more.
I dono, what do yall think. Probably notta good idea, wouldn't you
say?

The way I usually do it is to take a damp, soft cloth and brush
the dvd in a crosswise pattern on the bottom. Alternatively, you
can buy a cd cleaning kit that usually includes a cloth and some
cleaning solution, but I've never needed one. The cloth and water
have always worked for me.

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,
