Ralph, welcome to macosx.com
(1) If MacTheRipper displays ‘DISC RCE: -DETECTED-’, you must set the ‘RCE Region’ popup menu option to the region in which the DVD was purchased. For example, if you have a DVD that was purchased in N. America (Region 1), and MacTheRipper says that
RCE is detected, you must set the ‘RCE Region’ popup menu to ‘RCE 1’. So, 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.
Why this ?
MTR see there is a region but is not able to decrypt which region exactly.
If MacTheRipper displays ‘DISC RCE: -CLEAR-’ after scanning the DVD in the drive, you can leave the ‘RCE Region’ popup menu on ‘OFF’, as it is by default. Only (and always) set the ‘RCE Region’ to “OFF” when it says that RCE is ‘-CLEAR-’.
‘New Region’ should usually be left on its default of all regions selected (region 0), unless you wish to restrict the playback of the DVD to certain regions.
(2) use MTR to extract the full disc. For this, you will choose the ‘Full Disc Extraction’ option. You'll use Popcorn later to suppress, if you want, subtitles, foreign languages, ...
So now MTR will extract all the DVDs in a folder the name of which is a subset of the name of the DVD.
In this folder, you'll find a VIDEO_TS folder
(3) Launch Popcorn and drag this VIDEO_TS folder to the window
Click on the Options button, and in the new window, select which part of the DVD you want to keep, which language, which subtitles, ....
At each moment of your choice, as Popcorn knows the final size of the DVD is 4.6GB (for a single layer blank DVD), Popcorn will indicate a compression rate for the film to fit in the DVD.
Under 15%, no chance your eyes will see the compression
Between 15% and 40%, you'll have slight performance degradation, especially in the high speed scenes
Above 50%, sure that the DVD will become choppy on the low-prices DVD player, not necessary on high quality ones
A last remark: due to special Digital Rights, in N.America - Canada, a Mac has a Region 1 DVD optical drive, which will only able to run Region 1 commercial DVDs.
So if MTR says it cannot scan the DVD, you know now why.
I hope this will help you

Philippe

Open Popcorn, then instead of darg-n-drop, click on "Select" and browse to select the video_ts folder
If this failed, try the following maintenance tips
(1) Could you try to repair permissions
(must be admin)
Launch Applications/Utilities/DiskUtility
On the left pane, select the drive
On the right, select the First Aid (or SOS) tab
Then click on repair permissions and let run; don not worry about messages like " new permissions...."
Quit DiskUtility
Shutdown and reboot
(2) could also download Macjanitor
http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_...acjanitor.html
and use it to run the maintenance scripts
The maintenance scripts are Unix scripts which are automatically ran on your
Mac between 02Am and 04 am..if your Mac is on at this moment.
I can advice you to run, through Macjanitor, the daily script each day, the week script each week, ..and so on
(3) Could you also download Onyx
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
and use it to clean the caches. Use Onyx defaults
Retry the operation
If this fails again, then, download the latest MTR - if you do not have it yet-
If this not works, so there is something with the ripped dvd
