Everyones favorite OS X DVD ripper is coming closer and closer to a new stable version. Here’s some info that I’ve gleaned from the official forums, manuals etc - as well as some screenshots and download locations.
New in MacTheRipper 3.0
According the to forums, you’ll also need to install the CSS Library, which can be found here:

However, I was able to rip an entire DVD, using MacTheRipper 3.0 R14, without having it installed (??). And in other confusing news, MacTheRipper may now be shareware, requiring a license. If you can decipher the info found in this thread (registration required) by all means let me know. There also appears to be quite a few registration/licensing issues (see this thread). Again, I was able to use v3.0 R14 to rip an entire DVD and was never asked to install the CSS Library or forced to register the app.

Did you notice any improvement in speed?
@Webomatica:
heh not so much
Seems kinda odd that unlocked share ware is available for free. What’s the chance this copy in the wild is trojan ware?
@ Richard Smoker:
Very, very, very unlikely. The post was in the official forums, which the author is a member of/moderates/admins. He/she wouldn’t have let this stay on the forums if it was infected with anything. Plus I’ve used a scanner to check my Mac since installing that software and found nothing. I’m fairly sure it’s free because it’s beta.
I am just starting on all this and cant get anywhere.
All I want to do is copy some DVD’s I bought so I can then watch them on my laptop at any time as a file. I am use to running the DVD movie as an avi file
What do I need to do? It seems Mactheripper only copies into some sort of DVD format but I want an avi file.
PS: The mactheripper v3 fais. I was to pay for a full license but cant figure out who their website is and how to pay
where is the official webiste?
I’ve downloaded MacTheRipper3R14.sitx but I can’t open the file…it’s a binary file and I’m not sure which application I should use to open it? I’ve also downloaded the CSS_Library12_18.zip…do you have any advice for me. Thanks much, Sho
You guys are downloading an outdated version of MTR. The current version is 3.0 R14m. Early versions of MTR 3 like this one did not need CSS libraries or a license. This is a pirated copy of a beta version that was given out by the developer to those who had donated to the project. No versions of MTR 3 are freeware now. If you have not donated you are not authorized to use this version. The only public freeware version is 2.6.6. If you want to do it right and receive support go to the Ripdifferent forum and join.
