RipIt 1.4.2

RipIt... Movies are great, but discs are a pain. RipIt gets your movies off the disc and onto your Mac, where it\'s easier to find, organize and play them.

Why Rip Your DVDs?

• Use your laptop longer!
  
  Laptops use a lot more juice when they\'re spinning a DVD and a hard drive.



• Easily organize your movies!
  
  Moving files around on your computer is a lot easier than alphabetizing shelves full of DVDs.



• Find movies faster!
  
  Use your Mac\'s built in search tool, Spotlight, to find a movie in your collection... instantly.



• Peace of mind!
  
  Movies stored safely in your computer can\'t get lost, scratched or broken.



• Simplify entertainment on the go!
  
  Why carry around bulky DVD cases or disc wallets when you don\'t have to?

WHAT'S NEW
