But it's not just one movie it's all of them. I even tried the one's I've already done that only took like 15 min to rip and it still takes like 3 hours. I'll donate and see what happens. What about OSEx and Dvdbackup. They are also taking a long time when they didn't in the past

Can you play DVDs without problems? If you are positive that you are getting those problems
with the same DVD (not the same movie) that in the past you could rip without a hitch then
maybe your DVD drive is the one acting up. Try to clean the lens.
OSEX and DVDBackup are rippers that have not been updated for years therefore they can not
handle the new protections. The latest version of MTR is the only way on a Mac to get around
these new protections.

I use a external dvd burner cause I have a Mac mini. I tried playing dvd's on the external drive and it skipped a lot. I played it in the mini and It played fine. I returned the external drive and got another one and it still skip's. Should reboot again or what should I do?

So I rebooted the computer and it's still doing it. I have two,four outlet USB hubs out of the back of the mac mini and when I plug the external dvd burner to the hub the computer detects it. If I connect it straight to the mini it doesn't show on the desktop. This is getting hella frustrating. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated

If you plug in the external dvd burner, they don't mount on the desktop. Does ITunes recognize the drive?

Yeah if I put in a regular cd Itunes recognizes it. It also shows on the desktop but when I use it to play dvd's and cd's it skips a lot. It's just when I play dvd's or try to rip and burn is when it starts acting up. It just takes way longer than it did at the beginning. Any other suggestions?

I know it wont show up as external dvd burner. When it's plugged into the hub and I insert a dvd it shows on the desktop. If I plug it straight to the mac it doesn't show. Even if I insert a dvd or anything. When I unplug it it doesn't show the message about something being disconnected incorrectly ,so I think it just doesn't detect it.

I too am having issues with an external drive. I just bought the LaCie 16X LightScribe DL d2 DVDRW 300978U today.
It's recognizes the drive when I hook up through firewire but I can't install the LaCie Diskrecording.pkg install software. When it's installing it tells me it cannot continue with the install because of errors. That's it, no other information.
I am running OSX 10.4.7 800Mhz PowerPC G3 ibook w/ 640MB of RAM.
Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions?

Thanks, absolutely brilliant BUT, my son is in Australia and I produce stacks of bits and bobs for him that are saved as Quicktime AVI files. Yes, when I copied these Quicktime AVI files to disc through Toast, it took ages, and your advice has been great but how the hell do I copy a Quicktime AVI file from my HD on to a blank DVD in a compressed form. When I check the size of a file to copy it could be, say 701.3mb, I try to put two files of this size on a 4.7Gb disc and am told the total is too much.
Please, one of you brilliantly-minded Mac guys, how do I compress AVI so that I can make 701.3mb stay 701.3mb and put six files on to a DVD?
Many thanks, Martin

Toast/Data tab/DVD-ROM (UDF).
Avis will not play on a stand alone DVD player unless it can play DivX, XviD.

Hi,
Thanks. Presume ym DVD player/recorder can read one of the formats you mention as I am able to view the dics before I send them.
Thanks.
Still hoping someone can help me put AVIs through divone2x and compress them. I can't understand how a file of 424mb virtually fills a 4.7Gb disc!
Thick, I know - but watch me lay out an 88 page newspaper in Quark ! !
Regards, Martin

Hello. I've gone through this thread (which I used when I fisrt started burning) and I've seen no mention of dual/double layer disc burning. I'm on a new Intel iMac and I'm running all the stuff...Mac the Ripper, DVD2OneX and Toast with no problems (thanks!) and I was just trying to burn a 7G file to a double layer disc and Toast was giving me errors and such. Is there anything special I need to know about attempting a burn to Dual layer (8.5G) discs? I've got some Philips DVD+R discs here and any help would be appreciated.

i have been using the mtr and then toast 7
and both have worked great.
the toast works great compressing.
but i was wondering if there was a program (DVD2OneX does it only compress? thought it also burned..from the trial i previewed...)
that will compress only?
so that i can rip a dvd...then compress it while burning a different dvd?
thanks

I THINK I know what you mean. The old DVD2One would compress whether you wanted it to or not. The latest version only compresses if it is over the 4.3 limit. The problem is, any loss of quality when you get a movie that goes way beyond that, being double layer, and not wanting to compress and so lose quality. I haven't gone double layer discs yet, so I use DVD2One to split the movie into two parts I burn to separate discs. Better to preserve the video quality at this stage and piece together later.

Click on Cells at bottom of left-hand windown. In right-hand window, click Layers. See if the movie appears as two layers.
If not, click Chapers, and un-select half and choose the rest and save; then select the other half and save, and burn each segment separately

Thanks for your response. I am using a 'trial' version for OS X at the moment and when i launch DVD2oneX2 all i get is 3 options:
- make a full disc copy
- make a movie only copy or join multiple movie titles
- remaster your audio collection
Other than this i do not sen anything on the bottom of the window.

Okay, I've read a lot of posts about how to compress through DVD2oneX2, but just purchased toast titanium and was under the impression it compressed as well and according to the help menu, this is true. After using mactheripper and creating a Video_TS file, I went to the video tab and on the left hand side click DVD-Video from Video_TS and then drag the Video-TS folder onto Toast and it says this file cannot be compressed. Can someone help me out?
