I have tried to use Mac The Ripper in the past, when it works it works really well and has very simple options to only extract the feature track and audio you want. But, development seems to have been taken underground so the easily available versions don't cope with the copy protection on recent big releases.

Handbrake can do DVD Rips as well but this is mainly used for re-compression of DVDs and I wanted to retain the whole thing inc menus and features.

I gave up, I didn't want to spend the money on a paid solution or be forced to use Windows. I didn't like any of the hack front ends for my Apple TV either. But I would be very interested in how you get on with this, as if it's moved on from where I last left it I may pick the idea up again.

Cheers

Cris.
