0sex, yes, that *really is the name* is an application that you can
use to rip DVDs, either audio--which I have done-or DVD images, which
I have not done because I don't have a DVD burner. Try it anyhow,
it's worth it.
Warning! If you go after the audio, it can be time consuming to get
the ac3 converted to mp3, but well worth it!

Ok, not sure if my long-winded msg reached the list, but I'm just
posting my questions. Any resources etc. very much appreciated.
First, I have a son and as careful as he is, he has hosed a few
dvds. Now my Mac has a dvd burner and I was curious if there's an
application that would let me make copies of these dvds so I can
have a spear on-hand. Of course not to resell etc. just for my use.
I'd like that app to be as VO-friendly as possible.
Ok here are my final questions for a while and thanks to all in
advance.
somewhere on the web, but I haven't found it and it covers the guts
of Tiger. I really want to learn all the magic that makes this
thing work so I can do some other things like trying to port a few
Linux-based applications over to the Mac. Next thing is and I'm
sure this is a completely silly question. If the Mac has gone to
sleep and you have a cron job schedule to run, will the machine
wake itself up and run the job or would I have to set the power
management such that the box never goes to sleep?
Also, I have an APC ups which there is Mac software for, but what I
want to do is connect my Mac and Linux box to this ups. I have on
the Linux box a program called apcupsd which has the ability to
notify clients of itself via the network that the client machines
need to shutdown do to a power loss. I am not sure if it can be
compiled to run on OSX, but if anyone is familiar with this or
knows if there's APC software etc. I can use to accomplish this,
I'd appreciate it.
Finally is it possible to port applications that run on Linux over
to OSX without having a vast programming background?
Oh did I mention how much I love my Mac?
