i have just recently bought a mac laptop and in the past i have used dvd shrink and dvd decrypter but both are only for windows and i was wondering what programs would be legitimate and the best to use on my mac
porter04, Welcome to the forum. You can use Windows on the new Macs if you want to and dual boot if you have an extra copy of Windows. If you do not then use "Mac the Ripper" and "Toast".
You can get Mac the Ripper free here: http://www.mactheripper.org/ Toast will cost you: http://www.roxio.com/enu/store/mac.html
if you looking for a mac ripper its gotta be handbrake, free and probably the best http://handbrake.fr/
