I downloaded MacX DVD Ripper Pro (who dreams up the names of these

S-L-O-W and I wondered how much I *really* wanted to watch that DVD on
the go. I felt it would take longer to rip and convert than to watch
it. I do have a Core Duo iMac though so perhaps these applications
need more up to date hardware to be practical.
it's a CPU thing. My Mac Pro does it a lot quicker than my MBP did, and
so on. Even then it's annoying (about a third of the playback time, or a
quarter, or so).
Elgato make a hardware accelerator but it's not much quicker than your
iMac, I think. It does free up the CPU though. It's a little USB stick.
But it won't rip from 'bought DVDs' so you have to rip it first.
