home dvd ripping on mac???

PeakOutput

ok so someone gave me a dvd of myself and im looking to rip it off the dvd so i can email it to someone the problem is that for whatever reason when i open the folder(it appears as a folder on the desktop not the usual dvd disc icon) there is nothing in the folder but i can play it with dvd player no problem

as far as i know its in ntsc format and there is also a red circle with a white line thru it on the bottom right of the icon which i think means i have no editing privlidges on the dvd but i can still make copise

any ides how i can rip this off the disc so i can convert it to avi and email it or upload it onto youtube?

thanks

Give Mac The Ripper a shot. It'll rip it as a video_ts folder. Then convert that to MP4 or whatever you like with Handbrake. Be warned, these processes take a while.

I thought Handbrake would be able to convert it directly?

It can. Mac the Ripper is faster and gives less problems in my experience though. Much of a muchness really since they're both free.

Dont be at yourself

Yep, it can.

if anyone knows a way to convert vob to avi or just to get it smaller in size that would be great too havnt googled that yet though so it might be easy

Handbrake, you need to convert the entire Video_ts folder into a single file. It'll do it for you.

Red Alert

Mac The Ripper & Handbrake do a great job for me
