Hi All, Metakine, the makers of DVDRemaster Pro, have put together a mini-bundle sale as today's MacUpdate Promo. They're selling 10 apps, including DVDRemaster Pro and Mac DVD Ripper, for a price of $39.99. The apps are:
DVDRemaster Pro (which is now sold in the Mac App Store as DVD Remaster 8 for $49.99) Mac DVD Ripper Pro (normally $19.95, includes the Fairmount decryption program) Hands Off! Aurora ($14.99 in the Mac App Store for Aurora Lite) Back In Focus ($99.99 in the Mac App Store) Decompose ($29.99 in the Mac App Store) Magic Launch Video Rotate ($2.99 in the Mac App Store) Processes Photo Batch ($14.99 in the Mac App Store) I think this is worth purchasing just for the combined price of DVDRemaster Pro and Mac DVD Ripper Pro alone, if you want to accessibly rip DVDs into formats suited for Apple TV or iOS devices, just extract audio tracks, or reformat them. Of the other programs, I think Aurora is accessible (it's a wake-up program that lets you wake up to an iTunes playlist instead of an alarm), and Processes and Hands Off! might be. (Processes lets you zap stalled processes, pause apps and processes that are slowing down your system and resume them later, and also monitor processes' system usage and network connections and files. Hands Off! monitors the way your applications access your network and disks, in case they send out data.) Many of the others are video or photo processing programs, but Back in Focus might be usable or useful. (It seems like a way or automatically de-blurring photos you take). This offer is good for the next 15+ hours. Purchasing MacUpdate promos requires that you create an account, and that involves a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA. After that, all purchase transactions and accessing the apps should be completely accessible. You can log in to your account, and view a record of past purchases and software licenses, and re-download the apps. You can also designate that the license for a particular app in a bundle purchase be issued for someone else -- this lets you gift a friend with a license if you've already purchased an application in a software bundle. It also lets you decide to share bundles with someone else by splitting the price and dividing up the apps. The person you designate to receive the license does not need to have a MacUpdate login -- you just need to give a valid email and name for the license. (However, they also won't have a permanent record of the license code and purchase details that are associated with an account.) For new users, Gordon (who runs this list) worked with the developer of DVD Remaster Pro to ensure VoiceOver accessiblity with this app. There is a freeware alternative, Handbrake, but DVDRemaster Pro will process in about a third the time, and also has other convenient features that simplify separate audio track extraction, compression from dual-layer DVDs, etc. HTH.
