Fareham meeting 13 February- software for my presentation

Avatar Stuart Affleck
Dear all,
For those of you attending next week, I'll be doing a presentation on ripping and converting video and audio from DVD & Blu-ray. If you'd like to have a go on the day, or practice, here's a link to all the software I'll be using.....

Hi Stuart,

Just what the doctored ordered, I have downloaded the software however without the instructions I am at a loss. Can you point me in the right directions please.

I would have come to the meeting but I had already booked on a deeps fishing trip.

Ripit is very simple indeed, as you'll see from....http://thelittleappfactory.com/ripit/quickstart.php This one will only extract the whole DVD (trailers, copyright warnings etc included)
Handbrake is a bit more complicated. You'll need to install libdvdcss.pkg as well if you want to rip a DVD in it (otherwise use one of the other rippers and just use it to encode into your desired format). Excellent documentation at https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki#DocumentationHelp
MacTheRipper is old (the developers moved on to Mac DVD Ripper Pro) but it still works OK under 10.11. If you want the whole DVD it's just a case of firing it up, setting the Save location & clicking 'Go'. Unfortunately, the online documentation seems to be long-gone. DVD Ripper Pro has a good quick start guide at http://www.macdvdripperpro.com/QuickStarts/QuickStart_en.html, plus FAQ etc.
MPEG Streamclip website is http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html The user guide is available within the program from the Help menu. Old and a bit clunky, but the best tool (OK, only tool that doesn't involve stumping up $ beforehand) I've found for batch exporting audio from video clips.
VLC can play pretty much any video format you care to mention. And DVDs, and Blu-ray (with add-ons, though I've never got that to work). Documentation at https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation
This lot should get you started...!
