Hi John and Sherry, welcome on macosx.com
(1) In macTheRipper, do you use the full extraction method ?
If yes, you must have 'in the Movies or Sequences" folder of your Home, a folder the name of which is the name of the DVD and inside a VIDEO_TS folder.
In Apple DVD Player, under File menu, do you have a "Open VIDEO_TS" ? If yes, use to browse up to the VIDEO_TS folder
By the way which OS do run and which version of Apple DVD player do your run ?
(2) about burning ripped DVDs..
(1) One of the free solution.
a.DVDImager will create a burnable image of what macTheRipper had extracted
b. The Apple's DiskUtility (or Finder) burn utility will physically burn the DVD
However, if the rip DVDs is greater than 4.3GB, you'll be not be able to burnt it.

Note that MacTheRipper seems to fail -in certain circumstances- to get rid of of the so-called Sony ARCos protection
(2) the commecial solution:
PopCorn from Roxio (the creator of Toast) will extract some parts of the DVD and burn it. So it does the job of MTR and DVDImager
If the rip parts size is gretaer than 4.3GB, Popcorn will compress the video (with a small quality downgrade) to fit the 4.3G limit size
Popcorn does not work on encrypted DVDS so that MacTheRipper will usefull too in this solution; Popcorn will then read the VIDEO_TS MTR's folder for burning
Popcorn is around 80 $
So...
*MTR + DVDImager + Finder burn if size of VIDEO_TS is under 4.3G; free
*PopCorn if the original DVD is not protected, whatever it size is (if size > 4.3G -> compress)
*MTR + Popcorn if the original DVD is protected, whatever it size is
Regards
Philippe
