![]() ![]() ![]() Somehow, these disks work OK when used with a movie player, but not when being read as "data". This can cause apparent read errors and retries which make the rip grind to a halt. Some disks use tricky methods to block ripping. However, in regard to the OP's problem with his iMac - You might want to try a few more disks. A cheap (and fast!) PC in another room is the perfect solution for me. ![]() My primary machine is a MacBook Pro, and I really don't want it churning away on video encodes all day, generating heat and fan noise. The latest iMacs may be a little faster at the encoding, but not very much. (With a smaller hard-drive and a DVD instead of Blu-Ray, it could have been close to $300.) I use MakeMKV for ripping Blu-Rays/DVDs and HandBrake for the encoding. My solution was to build a PC with a quad-core 3 GHz AMD CPU, 2TB hard drive and a Blu-Ray drive, all for about $400. Also tried Mactheripper, and this seems to take forever and does not work.īecause I've been unable to get beyond stripping the disc protection this is very frustrating. I eventually have to force quit the application. but it is taking forever to decrypt the disk - this was near instant on my old PC and on the MacBook. I can hear the drive spinning away and the activity windows shows it is doing "something". I installed Handbrake and VLC on the new iMac, popped in a DVD (tried The Hangover, Toy Story 3 etc), selected the source as the DVD. One of the main reasons I got this mac was to be able to rapidly rip my vast DVD collection for use with my ATV2 and therefore reclaim some shelf space.Īs a switcher, I previously used AnyDVD and CloneDVD or Handbrake on PC, and I have previously used Handbrake with no problems on my girlfriend's 2006 MacBook too. Yesterday I bought a lovely new 27" iMac - 2.7GHz i5. I hope somebody can help as all my Googling has been somewhat fruitless. ![]()
