Sweet - I just installed MacTheRipper and Handbrake and have discovered a whole new world of "backing things up". MacTheRipper first rips the DVD, than Handbrake comes in for compression. Hot damn, this is exciting. It seems that our Mac Mini will soon become a nifty little first floor media center in our house. I don't know why I haven't paid much attention to this until now, but I'm excited. Hot damn!
