Now this might have to do with the type of DVD's you're ripping, very few of mine were recent "blockbuster" movies. Anyway, I saw no reason why I should switch from Handbrake - it works really well and it's free. Finally, I just purchased the few of these that I actually wanted from iTunes. I tried MacX DVD and another program and they couldn't do the problem DVD's either. Out of 1200 commercial DVD's, I only had a handful that wouldn't rip - less than 20. I wondered if the CD drive was the bottleneck (I was using the internal drive on the 2008 MBP) so I got a fast external DVD drive (a big ugly monster). Your rip times are comparable to mine, the one hour example I gave was a for a one hour black and white TV show. Will you please comment on my efforts to finish this project and give me your recommendations and advice? Thank you Larry The iTunes library on my 2008 MBP has ONLY the movies I ripped into it to simplify this.

I could easily buy another 2TB drive for additional back up IF I could understand how to use one of them to be the primary "server" via my old MBP. I do not know how to "point" my iTunes program to an external hard drive so that is why I have not used the 2TB drive for direct access to my network. Those movies are the only thing on that drive. I also have a 2TB (USB 2) external HD that I use exclusively as a back up for the movies I am ripping. That also takes time so most likely the time saving by using the newer MBP would be a wash? (home sharing) If I were to rip on the 2012 I would then have to copy the rips on to the older MBP. I turn it on, select iTunes (it is connected via ethernet as is all my equipment) and all the other Apple TV's on my home network can access the movies that have been ripped and placed into iTunes. I hesitate to switch computers because I use the 2008 MBP as a "server" for my home network.

I am assuming the software I am using (MacX DVD Ripper Pro) is not hamstringing (or being the impediment for faster rips) the ripping process per se.

(a 2 hour movie will take 2 hours to rip)Īs I understand what you experienced if I were to use my newer 2012 MBP i7 (with SSD and 16GB memory) - the ripping process would go faster.
So far so good however the movies are being ripped roughly at 1:1 time wise. I too am using a Core MBP to do this using a program called MacX DVD Ripper Pro. If you need to move an iTunes library between machines, see this article, I found it very helpful: īoyd I have about 250 copy protected DVD movies I am ripping and about 100 home movies that I converted from digital tape to DVD I am ripping. If you don't want to invest in duplicate equipment, you could use your laptop with an external disk and take it between both cities.

You could do something similar with a mac in each city as an iTunes server - can really be any old Mac or even a PC as long as it runs a relatively new version of iTunes. This works really well with my two Apple TV's, iPad, MacBook Air and iPhone. My library is on a 4tb USB 3.0 hard drive connected to a bottom of the line 2014 Mac Mini that runs iTunes 24/7 with homesharing. A DVD that took over an hour to rip on the old MBP only took 15 to 20 minutes on the newer computer. So I switched to ripping them on my 2013 i7 MacBook Air.
But after awhile I realized what a dog Handbrake is with an old Core2Duo machine on MacOSX 10.5.9. Initially I used my old 2008 MBP since it has an internal DVD drive and isn't used for anything else. I ripped about 1200 DVD's over a period of a couple years.
