Re: Getting Movies from DVD to Mac

AND

here is another way , courtesy of a WAMUG message from Rob Davies on  
8.8.2004


In Disk Utility
create a new Image from the DVD  by selecting new image on the toolbar
place it wherever you decide on your hard drive .

After it has been created , mount the image and use VLC  ( free ) to  
play it .


It took my PPC 1.6 Ghz G5 about 1 hour 20 to create the image of 6.9  
GB DVD


Have fun

Bob

Hi WAMUGERs
Whilst it costs $19 US, it might be of interest to some people.

to get a
movie off of a DVD and on to your hard drive (in order to, say,  
watch it on
a laptop without lugging the disc itself along), it looks pretty  
simple. In
fact, it's about as cake as these things get: load up the app, throw  
a disc
in your drive, and press Rip -- a few minutes later (a 7.9gb rip  
took about
30 minutes for me), you've got a DVDPlayerMedia file on your hard  
drive to

watch at your leisure.

It's $18.99, which is pricey, especially (again) compared to  
HandBrake,

which is conveniently open source, and provides tons more ways to rip
things. But if you do a lot of movie ripping and want to have one  
single
button rather than worrying about formats or encoding, that $19  
might be

well spent"
