ripping converting and copying/backup DVD'S using a Mac

2017-02-27 Thread Dane Trethowan
Many years ago I used an App called DVD Master Pro for the Mac.
That App has long gone and been replaced by another called MacX DVD Ripper Pro 
for around $30 US.
This App does pretty much everything one would expect from a fully fledged DVD 
Ripping suite
If you just want audio MP3 form your discs then that’s fine.
If you want a full ISO image of your DVD - encrypted DVD’S are handled - then 
select the “Backup” profile and make the necessary adjustments to backup the 
DVD to an ISO image which can then be used with VLC to converter to different 
formats, write to a disc and so on.
MacX DVD Ripper Pro is extremely accessible though first time users may find 
the App a little daunting given the scope of features and functionality 
available.
Thankfully the web site provides plenty of documentation so it might be a good 
idea to read the “Quick Start” tutorials and examine the layout of the main 
screens before you attempt any serious projects.

Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the 
halfwits in this world behind.

As I said earlier, I don’t think you need worry about accessibility in this 
instance.

Thanks, Dane. This is a useful marketing website that supplements what I found 
elsewhere. What remains is the accessibility question. If anyone on this list 
owns or has tested Bluesound, I'd be grateful for an accessibility assessment.

Looks quite a nice unit and I particularly like the way its been designed 
around high res and lossless file types.

I don't actually have this unit but - from the web page linked to below
- I believe I can answer most of your questions.

Yes, you can stream from your computer to the device.

The device does have a touch panel however you can probably bypass the need for 
this with the IOS/Android controller App or other Apps.

The device will accept Bluetooth streaming.

Hi. As someone barely familiar with audio terminology, I'm wondering if anyone 
has experience with the Bluesound app. It's been recommended to me for two 
purposes. One is to carry audio content from my PC to my stereo system. Second, 
it would enable the streaming of Internet content from an iPhone or iPad 
through my stereo system.

Is Bluesound accessible? Can it be used on a PC as well as an iPhone?

Does Bluesound enable Bluetooth transmission as well as Airplay?

Thanks.
