Hello Lowell, >I've read many DVD ripping tutorials and tried a lot of what's out there. The best result I've achieved has been to use 0SEx to convert the DVD chapter from my Superdrive to a M2V file. Then I tried using Media Pipe to convert the M2V file to a MPV file. But when I open this file in QuickTime the video quality is not good enough.< Once you have the m2v open it with QT Player Pro and save as NTSC DV. This should result in the least loss of quality. You do need the QuickTime MPEG playback component for this (a $20 download from the Apple Store). Opening an m2v may take long but starting form QT6.5 you can save the reference movie so it is a one time annoyance. Jan.
