Many years ago I used an App called DVD Master Pro for the Mac.
That App has long gone and been replaced by another called MacX DVD Ripper Pro 
for around $30 US.
This App does pretty much everything one would expect from a fully fledged DVD 
Ripping suite
If you just want audio MP3 form your discs then that’s fine.
If you want a full ISO image of your DVD - encrypted DVD’S are handled - then 
select the “Backup” profile and make the necessary adjustments to backup the 
DVD to an ISO image which can then be used with VLC to converter to different 
formats, write to a disc and so on.
MacX DVD Ripper Pro is extremely accessible though first time users may find 
the App a little daunting given the scope of features and functionality 
available.
Thankfully the web site provides plenty of documentation so it might be a good 
idea to read the “Quick Start” tutorials and examine the layout of the main 
screens before you attempt any serious projects.

Amazon Voice Remote

2017-03-01 Thread Dane Trethowan

Oh and another thing I forgot to mention.

I ordered 3 Amazon Voice remote controllers - one for each Echo - though 
the Voice Remote works with other Amazon products such as the Amazon 
Fire TV I think its called.


The Voice Remote isn't available in Australia anywhere it seems so I had 
no alternative but to import which didn't cost too much given the small 
and light nature of these devices.






Amazon Echo and Google Home

2017-03-01 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

First the good news for those living in Australia, the Google Home is 
officially available so I just ordered one which I expect to be here 
early next week.


I know we've discussed the Amazon Echo extensively on list as there are 
members absolutely enjoying having chats with Alexa, Dot and Tap all day 
long - yours truly is included 


The Amazon Echo range won't be officially supported in Australia until 
later on in the year tthough you can still buy any of the three devices 
if you know where to look and - even though specific local support still 
isn't offered - Echo does offer the user a huge! amount of entertainment 
and productivity.


So how are list members finding Google Home? I'm given to understand 
that Google Home is better able to do with searchs and trivial 
questions, guess I'll know myself this time next week.
