Open and look for the largest set of VOB files. If you want to view using ITUNES, FRONT ROW, IPOD or APPLETV, you might need to use LOSTIFY to change the “metadata” so they can “see” it.Īlternatively, sometimes, you can just copy the VOB files off from the DVD disc. Now that the VOB file is now on your Mac, you can play via VLC or use MPEG STREAMCLIP to convert to H264 MPEG-4. Unlike most normal conversions which take a few minutes, this may take up an hour or longer with MAC THE RIPPER stopping to tell you there are errors and if you want to keep going. ![]() Use MAC THE RIPPER and try ARC COS (in MODE). It’s all rather pointless as real counterfeiters who makes duplicates to sell are certainly not slowed this by but consumers who want to back up their own DVD’s are the ones most annoyed … well, at least it’s not more computer crippling spyware. Mostly the problems stem from some studios (mostly Sony/Columbia, I believe) who purposely introduce errors. ![]() Most of my movies convert fine using HANDBRAKE but a few are giving me problems, what’s up? It will take much longer but you end up with a MPEG4 H.264 file that you can open & watch using ITUNES, QUICKTIME, FRONT ROW, APPLETV or MPEG STREAMCLIP. Instead of MAC THE RIPPER, convert using HANDBRAKE. Sure, Mac the Ripper is nice but the files are HUGE (5GB or more), can I have something smaller that offers me the same or nearly the same resolution? MEDIACENTRAL is another choice that is FRONT ROW-like, I found it too Windows like for my taste but it might be the easiest solution for many people who just want to “see” and play VOB files. (DVD Assist is a helper app that fools FRONT ROW into thinking VOB files are the actual DVD’s). ![]() Then play then using VLC or with DVD ASSIST, play them through FRONT ROW and APPLETV. It’s very fast and takes just a few minutes. If you have the room on your hard drive and you don’t need a lot of movies on there, you can simply use MAC THE RIPPER to copy YOUR store purchased DVD’s to your Mac. I want to have my DVD movies on my Mac so I don’t need to carry my DVD’s everywhere? We have covered Handbrake and MPEG Streamclip in some details so now it’s time to recap briefly what you want to do and what you need for Mac video (apps recommended are generally in ALL CAPS with LINKS are at the end):
