MacTheRipper 2.6.6 (Mac OS X)
Screenmates1, from what you've written it seems that you most likely have never used either version of the program, and if you have, and you got it to work properly, you would have had to been visiting the ripdifferent.com forum on a regular basis, and if you were doing that, you'd know enough to know that the developer doesn't need to come here to try and hawk his product at all. None of the comments on here are from the developer at all. 2.6.6 will not work on many of the new titles. I know from my own experience. If the opposite were true, no one would be bending over backwards trying to get the newest version. The following statement is just not true at all. "I noticed that v2.6 displays different space requirements for full disk extraction (more) and main feature extraction (less) while v3 displays the same disk space as needed for both modes." I don't know what program your using, but i think your in a fog, and i think your here just to rant, and are basically just lying to get attention, god knows why. Sure, fairmount can mount any disk, and replace it with a decrypted disk image, but, go ahead and see how long it takes to copy that disk image to your hard drive, since its decrypting on the fly, it takes AGES. And NO, it doesnt work on alot of new titles either. Once again, it fairmount were that effective, and fast, no one would be bothering with MTR at all. Go to ripdifferent.com and see how many registered users there are. All those people are wrong? Do you honestly think all of them havent tried the fairmount route, or havent tried to get 2.6.6 to work on newer titles? Of course they have, thats why they are using the newest version. I don't know what your agenda is, but you really dont know WHAT your talking about. And NO, im not the developer. [alert admin]

MacTheRipper 2.6.6 (Mac OS X)
Response to your less than intelligent response.
"A donation is voluntary and the use of the term "gift" is for legal reasons to comply with specific laws that exist within the European country that the developer resides in" If you were up on the latest info on Mac The Ripper, you would be aware that MTR no longer contains the CSS libraries that decrpyts DVDs, so it is not a program that has any legal issues to contend with. Whether its called a gift or donation, who cares. You are made aware from the developer that you can not have access to the program without complying to his rules. End of story. That is not false advertising. You are being told the truth right up front. What part is false? You give your "gift" or "donation" and you get the program. Case closed. The case has more often than not, been that people would give their donations or gifts, get their software, and then get refunds from their credit card company. So whos taking who for a ride. But then again, you dont visit the forum or do any research, so you know nothing about any of this obviously. "The app. is defaulted to phone home and to say that users should do a manual installation beggars belief. It is that process that make the app.more difficult to install. Likewise Little Snitch would baffle most Mac users and to even have to use an app. like this underlines my point that any app. that "phones home" is spyware." To say a program as simple as little snitch would baffle most mac users, is belittling and insulting to most mac users. Its a program which requires almost no intervention on the users behalf, so if you find it baffling, that pretty much lets us know your level of experience with a mac, right off the bat, so i will start there. Most users who can use mac the ripper successfully, can certainly figure out little snitch. "The reason I used the term spyware is that the developer is rather obtuse in what has been installed in the application." There is extensive information included with the download as well as in the forum, that lets users know exactly what is being installed and where. Read up a little bit, and you'll see that for yourself. "As for Fairmount, I still maintain that the utility if used correctly on most dvds will do a fine job for free. And please do your research Mr Capone because in one of previous posts I canned Fast DVD Copy." Point taken on Fast DVD copy, but fairmount is still an ineffective program regardless. (Big sigh) Don't try to be insulting, at versiontracker all we do here is give our opinions about applications. An opinion is fine, but an uneducated opinion, with no basis in reality, calls for a reponse, and a response that helps give people accurate information, and not mislead and misinform them.

I have been using MTR for over 3 yrs, and have been a member of their forum for over a year. I think i'm more qualified than yourself to speak about this program. Have a good day. [alert admin]

FairMount 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
This program moves at a snails pace. I'd like to see someones report on how long it actually took them to copy or do ANYTHING with their mounted disk image. [alert admin]

MacTheRipper 2.6.6 (Mac OS X)
use the latest version of Mac The RIpper. I wasnt "strong-armed" into any mandatory $50 donation whatsoever. Most, if any insults, come from small-minded and pompous forum users. Something that goes on at ANY forum. Most of the people there are helpful, and the whole process of getting a license etc, goes seamlessly if you have half a brain and know how to follow directions. MTR does NOT phone home if you choose to do a MANUAL license request, which doesnt involve the program reaching out to anyone for anything. And for the record, install little snitch, and see how many programs you own that phone home, there are plenty. Last but not least, Fairmount is the single most horrible method of backing up DVDs on a mac, ever created. Its slow as hell, and cant come close to handling most of todays copy protections. Ive tried it, it stinks. No one else has written any program for the mac that can do what MTR does, as well as it does and as quick as it does. Find one, and come back and here and let us all know about it, and please dont say Fast DVD copy, another waste of time and money. Research before you talk of your A** [alert admin]

Demeter 1.0.9 (Mac OS X)
I LOVE the speed of this browser. It's the fastest thing I've used yet. But... just like safari, the longer you keep it open, and the more browsing you do, the more ram you'll see this browser gobbling up. If you're a gmail user, you'll see more and more ram get chewed up each time you navigate away from your gmail and back to it. I've posted my issue with this on the developer's forum, and was told that it must be something I'm doing wrong (not using an updated version of flash, or input managers that should be deleted). I tried doing a few things that the developer had suggested, to no avail. I'm running 10.4.11, which should be compatible as far as I can see. It must have to do with the webkit engine. I've been a user of firefox, and I've done side by side, page for page browsing comparisons, visiting all sorts of diffrerent pages, with and without flash content. After about 15 mins, Demeter was using about 200mb of RAM, firefox, only about 80. Sure, if your someone who visits a few websites and quits your browser, you'll be fine. But if you like to keep your browser open all day, and have something like gmail on your screen constantly, your'll need to keep quitting and re-starting your browser if you want to keep memory usage down. Thats not how a browser should work. If Demeter can get this solved, it's the best, fastest browser out there, period. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Once, again, this IS the fastest browser I've used. The memory issue is the only thing holding it back. [alert admin]

It's not a matter of unstable, its a matter of copy protection constantly changing. Any dvd ripping program worth its weight, has to constantly be updated everytime movie studios use new protection. Thats common sense. I can see you still have not done your homework.

Your so silly. your not worth my time anymore. You were fun to play with though. The fact that you keep responding tells me you have as much free time as you claim i do. You were an easy target, and very predictable.

The fact that your convinced I am the developer, with not a shred of evidence to prove it, just shows your limited intelligence. Please, by all means, visit ripdifferent.com and state all your claims over there, and trust me, you will be shot down pretty quickly for having such inaccurate info about MTR. And, please also email the developer, his name is geezerbutz, and i beg you to ask him to visit this site, read…

You obviously have no idea how to use this website. Of course its the same version you have from 2005, all you had to do was read the release date to know that BEFORE you downloaded and installed it. There are plenty of forums that require passwords. Do a little reading before you write useless and meaningless reviews.
