What I have seen happen with Handbrake is when a new movie rips, it may seem like it is finished, but when you watch it, it skips all around in the movie.

It's the new copy protection schemes.

I tried the same movie using MTR, the resulting VIDEO_TS folder doesn't crash Toast, it makes a playable/burnable disc image just fine.

It's the new copy protection schemes, this movie was from 2006 so the scheme is 3 years old that RipIt can't handle.

That's why I asked NG4 if it played. They will seem like they rip, but have problems when played back.

That's not good. No online support? I thought it just might be temporarily down. This is 2009. Not very conducive to quickly helping others out with the same problem. MTR has one subforum just for title specific problems. If you're having problems chances are someone else has too, so a searchable database is handy. You get what you pay for I guess. It takes time and resources to run a forum.

Good point. I want easy to find help with any product.

I have been checking for you.

Since you never did get v3 and don't have the license to send to get into the forums to find out how to get the app, PM geezer from the RipDifferent forums to see what you should do. I thought it was a lifetime license for contributors, but one of the mods suggested you PM him directly to clear it up. Maybe put something like 2.6.6 gifter needs v4 in the subject, and include your PayPal transaction # and amount in the body with a brief explanation. It sounds like you don't really use it much since you never needed v3 as many newer movies don't work with 2.6.6.

As an aside, got to love the internet. The perennial busybody there, GrannySmith had this to say about your situation.

It is very hard to understand why anyone would continue to gift and not want
to update from the free version. Do not want to speculate too much about why
he/she is trying now to get the newest version or access to the MTR 4 forum.

I lit him up, don't worry.

i donated $30 back in 2006. will i be asked to donate $20 more?

that being said, i upgraded to 3 and i think i used it once. i used to back up every DVD my kids viewed in the car, but i've grown lazy and i think they've probably ruined 2 or 3 that i never backed up. doh. but perhaps jumping through all of these hoops will cause me to become more diligent this time. ;~)

Just follow the steps, I've never heard of him refusing anybody, although the suggested gift has grown over the years. If the new one works for you, you use it more, and it saves you money send more in later.
