I tried Handbrake, and it only got the first ep. Ditto w/Mac the Ripper.
(Being a preview disc, I'm sure there's some copy protection involved -- there may not be a free program that can break it.)
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Being a preview disk, it might also be that the disk isn't protected at all.

Hey. New board.
Hmm. By "it only got the first ep" do you mean that you couldn't pick other titles besides the first ep, or it crashed if you did?

This. Handbrake seems to think that the entire disc is only 22 minutes long. When I get home, I'll see if there are other settings to try.

Hey. New board.
Huh. Odd. I had that problem with a couple of discs once, and had to resort to using mencoder (a command-line utility that's rather a PITA to use) to get it ripped. I'm quite surprised that MacTheRipper has that issue, though.
You could try using ffmpegX, which is an mencoder front end, but it typically requires an unencrypted input folder, which your DVD may or may not be. Plus, it's not the simplest program in the world, though there are Howtos of various types on the web page.

I'll try MtR again -- I haven't fiddled with all the settings, so I might have missed something.
I didn't think about ffmpegx either, so I can try that when I get home.
Thanks for the tips!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was this a "mass produced" disk, or is it a blank disk that someone burned? I don't know anything about DVD burning, but if it's the latter, maybe it's a multi-session DVD and the second session hasn't been closed yet?

It's a press screener, so it's cheap, but professionally produced.

Slashdot:
dotwhynot writes "Molecular electronics, a realm once considered science fiction, could be heading for our computers and devices sooner than thought. A new report on the technology roadmap of the chip industry finds a growing confidence in new nanotechnology, and forecasts that the transition to the post-silicon era could happen by 2015. The development of nanoswitches has already reached a point where it will be possible to manufacture them reliably at low cost. Intels goal over the next decade is to build chips that hold more than one trillion switches."
That last sentence - wow!
