How to Use MacTheRipper 3.0

MacTheRipper is ideal for saving your favorite DVD movies to your hard drive considering the intact output quality. If you are new to MacTheRipper, you might find it a little bit head-scratching to figure out the settings or even where the output file is saved to. This introduces basic steps for DVD Ripping with MacTheRipper 3.0 and some of its features to help you take full advantage of it.

Part 1. How to rip DVDs with MacTheRipper 3.0

1. Install the MacTheRipper by double-clicking the MacTheRipper.dmg. When the installation is finished, launch it.
2. Inset the DVD disc you want to rip, if the DVD Player automatically launches, just quit it. MacTheRipper will start scanning when it detects the DVD. If the region of your DVD does not match with the DVD player, MacTheRipper won't be able to rip it.

   

   Note: Leave 'RCE Region' set to "OFF" when it says that RCE is '-CLEAR-'; If RCE is '-DETECTED-', always set the 'RCE Region' to the region the DVD comes from, regardless of the numbers that show up in the 'Region' field.

3. If you want the exact copy of your DVD, you are now ready to rip your DVD, just hit "go".
