OS X users often sighs and are a little jealous on the DVDShrink program for Windows.
Sigh no more!;-)-The Pro 3.5b1 version of DVDRemaster has the following features.(But why is it not for download on the developers site?).
You start "FairMount" and inserts a DVD. Fairmount does not crack anything and it does not take a protection out!(quite legall), but it serves the DVD to DVDRemaster.
You can do the old thing and copy the DVD, but You can do the nEW tHING as well(but ONLY with the 3.5b1 version!)-You can make an APPLE iTunes H.264 movie with Your favorit subtext!!-Without taking the DVD-VOB's down on your harddrive!! Only streams in-and the mp4-file out!
And You can make DivX;-) and mp4 and anything You like-I have even made ogg Theora-but strangely enough-everything-only with this beta-version????
The version from the developers site has number 3.4 and can only make DVD and iPod-files??!!-Very strange!!
It is a must have as it is the only program for mac that can put subtitles on an mp4 film.

Handbrake a better option for DVD to MP4 - erikku3000

I agree that DVDRemaster is a great application, especially for people who want to keep the original look of their DVD (i.e. menus etc.), but want to delete extraneous content.

Your comments about the application being the only one that will put subtitles in an MP4 file are simply not true: I've been using Handbrake for ages now and in my opinion it's a much better option because it's FREE. HB will allow you to convert into MP4, MKV, AVI, and OGM from a commercial DVD (without having to rip it to your HDD). Within those containers you can choose to compress the video using ffmpeg, XviD or H264 and the audio using AAC, AC3, MP3, and Vorbis Audio (depending on the container). And of course, if you would like to burn the subtitles directly into the finished movie you can. The only thing it won't do is give you an external subtitle file... at least I don't think it can. One last thing, for advanced users, HB gives all sorts of encoding options for the H264 codec allowing users to fine-tune their encodes.
