MindFreak Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Hi. I really need a program for the Mac, but I cannot find one. It concerns a program like the Windows-based DVD-shrink. In this particular program you could upload a DVD-movie, alter its content so it could fit one disc and then make a back-up on your computer. All of this in a friendly and easy-to-use interface. However, I have not been able to find a program similar to DVD-shrink for the Mac. I have found some but they were strange and difficult. I just want it easy and functioning. Is anyone able to help me out? Thanks (Oh, after this I will stop making posts like this)
Charlie Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Mac the Ripper can rip them onto your Mac. Not sure what you can do after that.
MindFreak Posted November 1, 2006 Author Posted November 1, 2006 Yeah, tried that but I cannot shrink the DVDs. That is the essential function I need. And after ripping them to the computer I naturally want to burn them to ONE disc, hence the shrinking. ^^
Emasher Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 my dad (who is a mac expert) says mac the ripper can do it!
ThePigMarcher Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I am pretty sure that mac the ripper can't do that. I recommend using DVD2oneX , thats the one I use without any problems. You can use the free trial version providing the movie you wish to rip is under two hours long otherwise you will need to pay to upgrade.
Emasher Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 editing the contents of a dvd is what mac the ripper is designed to do
ThePigMarcher Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I agree , that is what mac the ripper is designed to do But Most DVDs will come in at more than 4.7GB , and quite regularly , even after removing all the special features , extra soundtracks/subtitles and unwanted stuff the movie alone will still come in at more than 4.7GB. This will still need compressing to allow the OP to put the movie onto a standard DVDR , and I dont believe that mac the ripper has the required compression software , which is where something think DVD2oneX comes in.
Emasher Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 my dad also said that the program handbrake may work for compacting
