Tutorial
Converting for media players, iPad, iPhone, AppleTV, Plex, etc
Simply choose the 'Rip and convert' mode, then select the title and tracks you want.
Ripping a disc
- Launch MDRP
- Insert the disc
- Select the destination folder (if the default does not suit you)
- Click Rip
If you are having troubles, make sure the disc plays normally in DVD Player before trying to rip it: it is possible the region is not correctly set on your drive or the disc has a defect. Also, check the preferences for more options.
Playing a disc
- If the ripped file ends with .iso, double-click it first to mount it
- Launch DVD Player (you can use Spotlight and search for 'DVD Player' to launch it)
- Choose 'Open DVD media' from the 'File' menu
- Select the VIDEO_TS folder in the mounted disc (if you had a .iso file), or select the .dvdmedia file otherwise
- Click play
Burning a backup
- Prepare the disc as indicated in the 'Ripping a disc' section
- Select 'Full disc image and burn a copy'
- Click rip
- Insert a double-layer blank when asked to, and use the slowest burning speed to test first
Creating a subtitle track from an audio track
- Make sure 'Soft-subtitles' is chosen in the Preferences (it is the default), rather than 'Burned-in'.
- Make sure you are running MDRP version 13 or above.
- After inserting a disc or loading a video, simply use the subtitle popup button to select an audio track as the source, you will see '(AI)' next to it. It's that simple!
Translating a subtitle track
- Make sure 'Soft-subtitles' is chosen in the Preferences (it is the default), rather than 'Burned-in'.
- Make sure you are running MDRP version 13 or above.
- Select a subtitle track to be included, then select the target language in the popup button just next to it: super easy!
