- wazzzup, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2I thought every Mac users favorite DVD ripping program was MactheRipper.
- EyeDye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"How is this front page still, this is a dupe. THE ORIGINAL STORY IS ALSO ON THE FRONT PAGE."
Um, did you read the titles. The other story, about Handbrake, on the front page is reporting that Handbrake has been released for Intel Macs & this story is saying that it's been ported to windows. If this is a dupe of any story on digg, it would be this one...

Does not work really at all on any of the commercial DVDs I've tried on my Powerbook. I've heard it works well on older DVD without the weak sector copy protection and ARCOSS protection
- thyratron, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Ditto on MactheRipper being far more popular on the Mac. I've been heavily into the Mac for a long time, and had never even heard of Handbrake. Mactheripper has about 3.5 x the downloads on Macupdate where it's frequently on the "most popular" sidebar, and close to 10 x as many on Versiontracker. It's also free and works great. It's at version 2.6.6, which also sounds suggests it's more established than Handbrake at 0.7.
That said, it's great to see more options, especially GPL'd open-source software, and Handbrake may very well be an excellent program. The posting probably should have described this as being very popular on Linux and becoming popular on the Mac.
From comparing features, Handbrake looks well suited to ripping video to popular smaller-filesize viewing formats (including h.264 for the Video iPod). Format conversion is something to avoid if you don't need to do it, since it takes a little while on all but the newest machines and there is some quality loss. Mactheripper is more targeted at those wanting fast full-size/quality rips of data to use for making backup DVDs. (recompression is still need for rips above 4.3 gig, when a dual-layer burner and media aren't available - DVD2One X is popular and well-optimized for that, followed by burning with Toast or Apple's Disk Utility or Windows burning apps. Popcorn can also compress/burn.) Output of either program can be watched on the computer. VLC is free open-source and very popular for viewing many video formats on Mac, Linux and Windows. - scottmc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is also available for BeOS.
- mingistech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1settle down dupetards.
we all know it's been done before. - bendalton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I recommend using SlySoft's AnyDVD (http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html) with this. It automagically decrypts the dvd so that any application sees the dvd as a non-protected one.
In place of Handbrake, I find that the FairUse Wizard (http://fairusewizard.com/) does a great job too! Take a look at both applications. - jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Using this

I get about 40fps on my Athlon 3400+ rig and I can rip a dvd in a wee over an hour (it looks and sounds perfect). - dpk87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I use dvd shrink. Anyone know how its compares?
- danglerman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awsome...thanks
- Agret, on 10/27/2007, -3/+3Windows is gonna need more than a handbrake to stop it from crashing!
- MemoryDump, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I stumbled upon this software yesterday (before seeing it apear on digg) and gave it a whirl.. I must say it's a very nice piece of fortware, it's still in beta/alpha form however it did the trick for me.
- xportz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wasn't impressed - AutoGK all the way.
- Jedipottsy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dvd decryptor and virtual dub with mpeg2 support is better
- h4lofourt33n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool, I've been looking for a dvd rip solution all week, digg ++.
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not a dupe read carefully, well you don't have to very carefully the differences are clear in the article titles. Yes there are 2 handbrake stories on the front page but one is about a port for windows and the other is about the speed of the new OS X Intel version.
- jak119, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0go figure nothing good can stay just for mac oh well enjoy windows users
- stisev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FYI:
Use AnyDVD to decrypt the DVD.
Then use CloneDVD2 to make a 1:1 copy.
Or FairUse 2.2 to make a awesome Xvid rip of it.
This is the best combination I've found. - z3To, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0year, thank you :)
- raxial, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool...an appy to while away the wee hours
thanks - Darklighter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is the best news ever!
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No there is a story about the OS X Intel version of Handbrake, read carefully juicehead
also, about the MacTheRipper thing, yeah it's a great DVD ripper and I often use it with Handbrake, but Handbrake also will re-encode the movie for you into a compressed mpeg4/xvid/h.264 file with as few clicks as possible - KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0JRMillion, how long does the 2-pass mpeg4 encoding take for say a 2 hour movie
- archer75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Does'nt work with copy protected DVD movies? No CSS support?! What the hell is the point!?
- fbmdeth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool, i've been waiting for this
- NV0U, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like MacTheRipper for ripping, and use Handbrake for putting the stuff on my iPod. Handbrake works great for that.
- qwertme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Handbrake rocks!
I have been using it for a while: Great software! - Acill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Get a Mac and use the best version. It started on BeOS, but was perfected on OS X! ;)
- recover82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.autogk.me.uk/
- anp14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MacTheRipper user....
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so what, I saw both of them about the same time on the Handbrake home page
- deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I thought every Mac users favorite DVD ripping program was MactheRipper."
You're right about that. - ZarZax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Has anyone actually used the windows version yet? any good?
- zwilliams, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Technically Handbrake is a reencoder, with limited ripping abilities. Its designed to reencode the VOB data into a movie format for playback on the machine. If you want to convert a video into a DivX/Xvid/AVI/etc file you'd use Handbrake after you took out the copy protection with MacTheRipper which only spits out VOB files minus the protection.
Can't believe people are just learning about Handbrake. I've been using it for a long, long, long time. - techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's not a dupp. The other front page is for Intel MACS. Not Windows.
- mmartin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, if you were on a mac, you'd know to use MTR, THEN use handbrake ;)
- dirtyfratboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1anyone notice that the same guy submitted both stories that have to do with handbrake???????????
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah I'll do that if I'm ripping/encoding multiple DVDs at once and just queue them up, I've had 20 DVDs in the queue before, that took days to process on my 1.5gh powerbook
- DiggDug2006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is seriously the whole reason why I love Digg. I can't wait to try this out!
- JRMillion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To add again, I'm talking about 320 wide, ipod sized movies at 400kbps. I did some larger ones too, and I think they were around the same time.
- JRMillion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To add, it says its encoding around 100 fps... so you should be able to figure out the time to encode a movie (1 or 2 pass) based on the length of the movie.
Using 100fps, a 100mins movie should take about 30mins per pass give or take. - JRMillion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The countdown says 26mins... I think that is per-pass. I haven't actually timed it though. I am using a new 20 Inch iMac with the 2Ghz Core Duo
- jjafuller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HandBrake (I have used on OS X), will work to rip some DVDs, but its primary purpose is encoding the video into a portable format, such as mp4, or h.264. For that end it works magnificently. It not just a ripper.
MactheRipper (OS X) is pretty much exclusively a ripping program that will dump the contents of your DVD onto your mac, and it works great for that. It has far more capabilities than HandBrake in that respect. But, it does not put it in a portable format, just DVD guts.
DVD Shrink (Windows) both rips, and encodes the DVD files so that they can fit within regular, single layer DVD+/-R(W). For this purpose it works pretty well, but it cannot rip everything. So, sometimes you have to supplement the use of DVD Decrypter.
All of these tools are great in their own respects but they are not replacements for the others. I am would give my right pinky finger to get something like DVD Shrink on the mac. But, in the mean time I find myself doing things "the old fashioned way." - MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Arrr the forums have died.
- JRMillion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use Videora on my PC and Handbrake on my new Intel iMac.
Handbrake on the new iMac is quite fast, even for 2-Pass. - vertigoblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cannuk i hope your joking, otherwise you are giving Canadians a bad name...
- JRMillion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use DVD Shrink all the time. Used with AnyDVD, it can pretty much handle any all DVDs.
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0on your new intel imac that is
