If so, how do you like it? Worth the hoops through which one must jump in order to get it?

I'm still finding 2.6.6 mostly OK for my needs, so I'm curious about whether getting a more recent version is worth the hassle.

Switched to Ripit a long time ago to avoid the games the MTR author forced you to play.

Ripit here also- does everything I need and more. They seem to do a good job of updating it. I also use Mac DVD Ripper Pro a lot. Between the 2 I haven't had anything they won't touch, and also don't have the craziness associated with the MTR developers.

RipIt still has problems creating burn-friendly rips. Both Toast and the DU have trouble with them.

If you're using the software to make travel-copies of your DVDs or to save discs that your kids are on the verge of destroying then you're better off with MtR.

I have been using since it was upgraded because I found ver 2 was not working for me. I really like it altho I have a lifetime membership to anydvd.com for the pc which is the best. Sometimes a DVD won't work with one or the other so I like to have two versions for ripping.

What Hoops are you talking about. I have always PAID for MTRer but then I am one of those souls that pays for shareware.

2.6.6 sill works for me under 10.6.8

What Hoops are you talking about. I have always PAID for MTRer but then I am one of those souls that pays for shareware.

These hoops:
--------
IMPORTANT:
YOUR MUST SELECT THE "MAKE A PURCHASE TAB" WHEN SENDING A PAYMENT FOR GOODS OR SERVICES. THIS IS OBLIGATORY BY PAYPAL.

Directly From Paypal…
"It is essential that your customers select the ‘Purchase’ tab when
sending you PayPal payments for goods and services. Please include this in your payment instructions."


Thank you for your Interest In MTR 4.0

NOTE: MTR 4 is Mountain Lion Compatible. ( 10.8 -> 10.4.11 )

The Process is simple…
First you gift, then by return email you will receive the application.
Once you have installed it , run it and it will request that you either request a license , or install a license. To Request The license fill in the presented e-mail with your payment transaction code. This is necessary as it is used to generate a unique license that you will receive by return e-mail.

Once You Receive the license , you can then run the app and choose "I have a license", locate the unzipped license in the app requester , and let the app install it. The App will then restart itself for you.

Once that is all done you are good to go!

NOTICE:
To comply with the law , it is necessary to separate the actual DRM removal code from the main application. This Library can be found on our main forum. It is in an installer so no knowledge of the operating system will be necessary to install it for newcomers to the Macintosh platform.

PAYMENT:
Payment is simple , you can gift by using PAYPAL.

I also have RipIt but haven't used it much, and haven't ever tried to burn a backup disc from what it rips.

Another vote for RipIt.

I tried to buy MtR3, but got hung up in the hoops (paying for it was the problem) and just said F/I. The author had personal problems a while back which further complicated the process.

I use RipIt from time to time and only burned a disc twice, via Toast, and had no problems. With Netflix TVs and DVD players, I don't loan out DVDs much so there's little need to burn.

Ripping BDs is still a mystery to me. I know I'll need a BD external drive for my mini, but what software holds the Most Favored title?

I bought a Pioneer USB powered BD drive, use MakeMKV to rip and HandBrake to encode. It's not ideal
but it works. I'm still having trouble with Subtitles. When my trial runs out I'll probably looking for a
one shot program to rip and encode Blu-Rays or just start purchaseing an HD version through iTunes.

BTW: MakeMKV is no longer free, it's a 30 day trial.

Also why don't more people use HandBrake to rip and encode reg. DVD's? I just got finished ripping
and encoding about 400 DVD's with HandBrake to M4V for iTunes? My days of backing up my DVD's
is over, the day of AppleTV has come. The days of a physical disc are numbered ;-)

I'm with Grateful. I use Handbrake for standard DVD decodes, MakeMKV followed by handbrake for BRs.

If you set Handbrake to 'high profile', the mp4s are terrific.

Just make sure your VLC is up-to-date, and that it's loaded and operational before you use Handbrake.

I am using macdvdripper.
And I am thinking to buy the MTR 4.
