Mac DVD Ripper Pro

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!
