Mac The Ripper 4.1 5.4 Download

MacTheRipper, officially abbreviated as MTR, is a free DVD ripper application for Mac OS X. It helps you copy your DVD movies to your Mac without any protections and quality loss. This is very helpful if you don't want to play the original DVD disc, or making DVD copies for your car (a DVD burner is required). With the help of third-party video converter, you can also convert MacTheRipper output files to to another format, like an iPad, iPod, iPhone or other portable media players.

Why Choose MacTheRipper?

Copying DVD media with MacX DVD Ripper Pro gives you superb video and audio quality in a only few minutes. You can copy a DVD on supported MAC computer running Mac OS X with lossless output quality and original 5.1 channels Dolby AC3/DTS audio. By default, the app create a single MPEG2 file that can be stored on your Mac or on a USB hard drive. I’ve found it’s a very very good match with an Apple Mac Mini as its audio software, and have compared it to several. As a classical-music reviewer specialising in high-res downloads, I have worked my way through most available media players. Audirvana is several cuts above them all, especially in its latest guise. Sound quality is.
