The one title for Windows that I would like for the Mac is IFOEdit.
Most DVD ripping software works by compressing video down to fit within 4.7 gigs. I do not want to compress.
IFOedit allows you to strip out extras, foreign audio, foreign subtitles, etc. and recreates IFO files so that you have a working DVD. Using it, I'm almost always able to get my DVD down below 4.37 gigs for burning.
However, IFOEdit is pretty geeky. It is not terribly easy to use, and, of course, not available on the Mac.
I want software that will let me:
1) take a DVD rip from MacTheRipper or DVDBackup
2) isolate extras which can be stripped
3) tell me what the final size of the DVD will be (i.e. whether I can make the VIDEO_TS folder small enough to burn to 4.7gig media)
4) strip the extras, recreate the IFOs
5) produce a working VIDEO_TS folder to burn with Toast, or an Apple disk image to burn with OS X
It is not important to be able to rip/decrypt from the original DVD, compress video (plenty of other packages to do this), or even burn the final DVD.
I suppose that naturally this software would be used for piracy. However, most people are comfortable with the notion of running off a personally owned DVD for a friend. While software like DVD2One will easily allow this, if you were to get this right it would be superior to DVD2One.
You'd have my shareware license payment.
