Done. Thanks.

We're not quite sure what's causing these issues right now with RipIt, but if you email the developers through this page: http://thelittleappfactory.com/contact/ they should be able to help you out.

Edit: Whoops I see the RipIt developer is here now, upgraded his forum title to "Developer".

Hey thanks guys, I've just got the 1.4 update looks like a fantastic one, growl support is always welcome as are the other fixes and so on.

For me on average it takes about 25mins using either the ComboDrive in my MacMini or a USB LG DVD-ROM.

Have enjoyed RipIt so far, but it's missing one thing. I know it's beta, but the compression option needs to be able to preserve the original aspect ratio. I hope that can be built into a future release.

You May have copied White space around the edges of the email / serial. Try typing it in manually.

Thanks for your feedback. We are currently aware of the issue and looking into a fix.

I have tried RipIt on a few DVDs to decide if I should purchase the nano bundle but had no luck so far. I was not able to rip a single dvd with success.

Taking my copy of Matrix Revolutions and trying to rip it.
[Rarely watched it and kept it in case but one day the mac would not play a portion of it, though you could skip and see frames of it.]

Anyway, the rip started off fast, but now its at 1hr and staying at 84.5%
Im guessing this means there is an error but RipIt is not able to display a message and abort?
Or its working overtime to get through those frames?

Im sure RipIt is a fine program, its the dvds that companies ship pre-scratched that need a good talkin' to.

Peace

Tried it both ways (cut/paste and manual type), and specifically checked for white space at both ends. Didn't help.

I have to give Ripit a big thumbs up from my experience, I would have purchased this bundle just for the one app.

with around 200 DVDs you really cannot fit them into a student room at university, and if it only does 75% of my collection (average so far has been 1 in 4 thats not ripped and often disney) it will mean I can go down from lugging 200 movies down to 50 and thats just fantastic in itself!

And the compression being built in is wonderful! Im not much of a movie buff, so the aspect ratio is something I just never realised had changed, but all the same for a beta big thumbs up for this app!

I was super excited about RipIt until a test revealed the same issue.  Very unfortunate.  I hope you can get an enhancement to address this.

I've been using RipIt for a few months and, let me tell you, the dev team is stellar about addressing bugs. They stand behind their work, and that alone makes RipIt better than the competing DVD ripper for Mac.

The main reason I got the bundle was for RipIt (and, after trying some of the others, it may be the only reason). Love the program; only thing, the compression option (beta) hasn't worked so far. Once they get that working, it is a killer program!

hmm, i like it so far but want to know how to best organize my dvd-collection on my hard-drive now, are there some Programms which are like itunes?

Use Burn (freeware) or Toast (problems, though, compressing long movies in 'movie only' mode) — although you can use DL discs if you don't mind the expense.

I'm also thinking of trying DVD2oneX2 — any recommendations on this one? The price ($55) seems a bit high for burn software, but if it will compress longer movies onto standard DVDs, it may be worth it.

Also, I've been running my rips through HandBrake to get them down to a more manageable size for burning. It works wonders — The Box went from 6.4GB to 1.9GB after HandBraking it, and 2012 went from 7.8GB down to 2.9GB.

Don't let reality interfere with your life.

I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't handle DVDs with a different region than your DVD drive though.
I was hoping to use it to rip these Region 1 Micheal Jackson DVDs that my father accidentally purchased in a trip to Hong Kong, but it seems like I'll still have to rely on Handbrake for this.

EDIT: Edited for typo and clarity
EDIT 2: Disregard that, it appears that my drive malfunctioned or something, RipIt is perfectly able to rip DVDs even if they don't match your DVD drive's region

Region 2 in HK ?

Viva TBBT, hope it will last a max !

Ahh, I have always been able to rip Region 2 DVDs with RipIt. Sounds more like @iDarbert's problem is with the region setting on his physical drive.

It's me!

Derr sorry I meant Region 1. My bad.
Region 2 is my DVD player's region

That's the point, I would like to be able to rip a DVD that has been purchased for a different region since it's still a legally purchased DVD.
Handbrake lets me do this, RipIt doesn't.

No biggie, but it's a shame not being able to use it in this scenario.

@iDarbert - isn't the region hardware dependent (drive firmware)? I know I've changed mine a couple of times for Region 1 discs, but R2 is my standard setting. You only get five changes. I've never tried Handbrake to see if another region would work though.... I found it too slow with VLC/Fairmount and got fed up.

It's me!

Yes, Apple lets you change it 5 times (4 actually since the first time is used to initially set the region).

Handbrake will rip your DVD no matter what region it is. There's no need to use Fairmount if you are using Handbrake, in fact I'm pretty sure that's the cause of the slowdown you have experienced

This screams "user error". It's likely not the company's fault at all, since it's working for everyone else and they're enjoying the product. You could contact support and try getting some help before badmouthing the developers publicly for a problem that is likely yours and not of their doing.

Riplt rocks!!!!!!! just turned three movies into itunes mp4 for my iphone. The only problem with compressing them to mp4 is that it takes almost two hours but still rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I'm 14 yes I love macs yes I have an Iphone soon an Ipad and I know I'm a nerd what else could you ask for in life.

Except that he's not the only one getting the error. If you look up-thread, you'll see me report the same problem, AND ALSO see the developer acknowledge it.

And you might consider what happens to your own reputation when you bad-mouth somebody having a problem while YOU obviously don't have complete information.

I'm going to chime in and say registration was fine for me, and the application works excellently. Though copying a few seasons of Lost over is going to take awhile... hrm.

I tried to rip a comedy series; as well as the aspect ratio issue mentioned above, it reported having completed the rip and compress, but only appears to have ripped the first half hour show.

Can ripit be used similar to handbrake, can I rip my personal dvd to be used on apple tv and put into itunes?

Learning . . .

so ripping works fine, but the first DVD i tried to compress is all jumpy, skipping all over the place. Is there anything I need to know or do?

Overall I assume it is a nice piece of software but unfortunately I wasn't really too lucky with it, three tries, two fails plus the third one in faulty aspect ratio, I'm not impressed...

Many thanks!

I love Ripit.  I bought a license for it back at version 1.1.x.

BUT, I just bought the nanoBundle, and expecting to get another license key for Ripit, I find the macheist receipt lists my original license key?!

What's up LittleAppFactory?  Did I just get 'ripped' off?

RipIt is not replacing HandBrake for me.  I've needed RipIt only 5 times (handbrake couldn't deal with the dvd) and RipIt was successful.

In RipIt's changelog http://mac.softpedia.com/progChangelog/ … 37288.html
it mentioned that  "Using the new and improved UDFKit, RipIt is now able to handle discs that do not match the region code in the drive’s firmware..."
Does it mean that it rips movie that is not the same as my drive's region?
(which seems not, from what other mentioned in the forum...)

I love this app. 4 copies and counting. I'll take any bundle that has it and gift away. Compression is really beta now, so I'd stick to handbrake for most things (after ripping), but I'll give Ripit this for sure: Support is excellent.

RipIt really is fantastic. Once they've tweaked Compressing a little more it will be perfect!

Just purchased the bundle and gave a run to Ripit.

On my PowerMac G5, and my Region 2 DVD drive, I was able to rip a Region 1 big DVD (1941). So I suppose this prooves Ripit, just like MacTheRipper, can handle any region DVDs.

Yes it can.  You choose what you want to convert it to in the preferences and hit compress instead of rip.

I swear I wasn't able to do that before, I just redownloaded RipIt on my iMac that just arrived from service today and using the same exact DVD the app works perfectly.

Is there any particular advantage to using RipIt over something like Handbrake, save for the handful of cases in which one might want menus and other features intact?

It's eisier and it's faster

May the Mac be with you

We're glad to hear it worked well for you! However, we have discovered a bug in compression that is unnecessarily causing it to take longer than desired. We will hopefully fix this soon.

Alonzo is correct. If you'd like another unique serial please contact us and we'll provide it for you.

Am I correct in thinking RipIt requires enough space on the primary partition to extract the DVD even though in preferences I specify another partition with more than ample space?

Just a suggestion to developer - when ripping with Handbrake, if the app comes across damaged sector, it tries a few times to read and if unsuccessful, it skips it and continues the process.

With RipIt, I had a number of DVD's that get stuck at certain percentage and it just doesn't move.

Any chance of making the app skip over damaged areas ?

Our internal alpha build does this and it should be released publicly soon.

This is the case and it is an error on our behalf. We will look to rectify it in an upcoming release.
