Before I discovered MPEG Streamclip, I used Handbrake to rip all my DVD clips for vidding, so I know it's possible. I'll double-check when I get home tonight (I don't have any commercial DVDs here at work).
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hey. New board.
I have also ripped commercial DVDs with Handbrake, though I tended to find it to be slower and less stable, so usually ripped with MacTheRipper first anyway.

“Not dead yet!”
It's taking its time, but it appears to be saving as mp4 files. I hate being such a computer idjit sometimes. Oh, and Tep, I'm using OS 10.5.5 right now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm using OS 10.5.5 right now.
I'm thisclose to getting a MacBook Pro (partly b/c if you buy it w/an education discount -- my mom works at a high school -- you get a free iPod Touch), but the only thing holding me back is not wanting to upgrade most of the software I use for my freelance jobs (Quark XPress, Photoshop CS). The versions are *just* old enough that they don't play well with Leopard (we've had problems at work with Leopard and older software versions), and I just don't want to deal with it right now.

I want one of the new MacBook Pros in the worst way! I'd really like to have the faster speed and greater memory. (I am SOOOO Tim Taylor-- I grunt and everything.) I think I'll treat myself if I sell a book.

Okay, it's "muxing" whatever that is.

Okay, I goobered, which was to be expected. It copied it as a movie to iTunes when all I wanted were the songs. Huh. What did I do wrong?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
hmm. I just opened Handbrake and it doesn't look like there is an option to just extract the audio.

Well, I've got an MP3-- but it downloaded the whole thing in one chunk instead of as separate tracks. Hm...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I need a cheapish laptop soon, and I'm looking at a $600 Dell 1545 T4200 at Costco. [link] Is this a bad buy? It's got a 15 in. screen, 4gb RAM, 500gb 5400 rpm hard drive, and 4-cell battery. Comes with Vista and Works-- I figure Windows 7 will just drive up the price and I have access to Word. Does anyone know any better laptops for the price?
