An Ideal Alternative to MacTheRipper Lion

After Lion came out with many great features, many people have been "tempted" to upgrade. Lion is perfect. However, To rip DVDs on Lion with Mactheripper will be not that perfect, Yes, It works well before on Mac, but after install Lion, free MacTheRipper refused to work, and you cannot rip DVD on Lion now.

1. MacTheRipper Lion issue

MacTheRipper is a popular free Mac DVD ripper that help you backup encrypted DVD movies to your hard drive, removing the DVD region code and CSS protection. It's a PowerPC application and needs the support of Rosetta. However, Mac Lion kills Rosetta PowerPC support! What's worse, MacTheRipper free version is not beed upgraded with Lion. So actually, the free version of MacTheRipper cannot work on Lion now. (Note that MacTheRipper has a paid version which can rip DVD on Lion.). So if you want to convert DVD movies on Lion, you need to turn to the paid version MacTheRipper Lion or other Mac DVD ripping tools that well support Lion as alternative.

The software I recommend is Doremisoft DVD Converter for Mac. Besides removing DVD copy protection and region code, there are some reasons why it can be seen as MacTheRipper Lion alternative and is much better than MacTheRipper.

First, it support more output format than MacTheRipper:

As we know, MacTheRipper can only help you backup DVD movies to hard drive in VOB format, but Doremisoft DVD Ripper for Mac supports a wide variety of video format like MOV, M4V, MP4, WMV, AVI, ASF, MPG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, FLV, F4V, 3GP, 3G2, MKV, TS, TRP, VOB, SWF, DV, etc. Besides, lots of video presets for mobiles and devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, Zune, Archos, etc. are provided.
