I'd imagine cleaning a dvd with a piece of toilet paper would be too rough?
I also thought about using a baby wipe, but then was like, ya know, that may
not be a great idea, as these things have aloe lotion in them, so that may
film up on it and ruin it more.
I dono, what do yall think. Probably notta good idea, wouldn't you say?
Chris.

The way I usually do it is to take a damp, soft cloth and brush the dvd
in a crosswise pattern on the bottom. Alternatively, you can buy a cd
cleaning kit that usually includes a cloth and some cleaning solution,
but I've never needed one. The cloth and water have always worked for me.

If it is taking that long to rip the DVD you'll want to clean off the
disk. It shouldn't take any longer than a half hour or so to extract a
7 gig dvd--remember, mtr is not doing any sort of encoding it is just
copying and removing any encryption. From the sounds of it you're
getting stuck, probably on a fingerprint or a scratch. Clean the disk
off and try it again.
The actual encode can take up to two hours or more, depending on the
CPU speed and encoding options. But that's done in handbrake, mtr does
not do that.

Hi,
All,
I am just wondering what the different options are for ripping DVDs
with Mac The Ripper. MTR has the default of extract the entire dvd,
but what can I do to have it rip faster. Is there things I don't need?
It has taken over two hours to rip and is still having a while to go.
it shows up as 7 gig and point 31. Maybe I don't need other laguages,
I have no idea.
Thanks for listneing,
Alex,
