MacTheRipper is a Mac OS X application that enables users to create a playable copy of the contents of a Video DVD by defeating the Content Scramble System. During this process it may optionally modify or disable the DVD region code or the User operation prohibition features of the copied data. The previous lack of an OS X equivalent to the PC software DVDShrink gave this standalone DVD ripper widespread popularity among Macintosh users.
Now most Mac users have upgraded to the latest OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). However, not all applications are compatible with Mountain Lion. MacTheRipper - the most famous free DVD ripper for Mac - is one of those programs that don't work well on Mountain Lion. That's why many original MacTheRipper users are searching for MacTheRipper for Mountain Lion alternatives. Download MacTheRipper for Mac. MacTheRipper is a freeware DVD ripper (extractor) for Mac OS X. Sets the disc's region code to '0' for region-free by default. I personnally think the best compatible mac os x 10.7 lion dvd ripper is currently DVD Ripper for mac v2.0.3. It handles a lot of DVDs others won't and it can recover scratched DVDs that no other software will dare to try. Free trial if you want to give it a go!
The current public release is version 2.6.6. The latest version, v4.2.7, is available at the MTR-4 forum, which is accessible only after a registration with, and an approval from, an administrator.[1] Even documentation such as pricing (it's no longer free) and the FAQ are locked off.
Legal issues[edit]
Previous releases of MacTheRipper violated the GNU General Public License (GPL) of the libdvdread and libdvdcss software libraries, on which MacTheRipper is built.[2][3] However, with MacTheRipper 4 and newer the libdvdread and libdvdcss libraries are distributed separately and must be installed separately for MacTheRipper to work.
The creation and distribution of MacTheRipper may violate the anti-circumvention laws which the U.S. and EU have adopted as part of the WIPO Copyright Treaty. In a case against the maker of a program similar to MacTheRipper, the court found that 'the downstream uses of the software [...], whether legal or illegal, are not relevant to determining whether [the manufacturer] itself is violating the statute.'[4] In that case and others that followed it, the court found the software manufacturer in violation of the DMCA.[5]
