Hi Courtney, Ripit basically rips the whole dvd to a .dvdmedia file on disk. You then have to use an app like Handbrake or DVDRemaster to do your extraction. You and Michael will have to experiment to check whether these apps do what you want. There are a lot of list members who maintain large video collections who may be able to make suggestions. Michael should be able to use DVDRemaster to backup encrypted DVDs that he ripped using either Ripit or Mac DVD Ripper Pro, but I've not used Mac DVD Ripper Pro myself. Maybe some other forum member can chime in. I think some of them tested Mac DVD Ripper Pro along with DVDRemaster when both apps were part of a Metakine bundle sale as a Macupdate promo for one week last September. I haven't come across any bundle deals like that this year.
