I have no issues with 1080i and 720p .mp4 files other than my encoder (Sony Vegas 8) doesn't allow me to output 720p60. Consider avoiding the Quicktime format for this player.

Excuse me guys:using Vegas 8 wich is the best render format to set to have smooth Z! images on a LCD screen using the WD?

Does anyone know a good dvd ripper for mac? I have "mac the ripper" but I couldnt figure out how to make the movie 1 file so i can drag over to my external drive to play on my tv.

Greg, try Handbrake

I use MPEG Streamclip for pulling clips off of my own archival DVDs (mostly of multicamera live switched sessions).

I am really excited that Pavtube have released the Blu-Ray Ripper for Apple. It has been really annoying and frustrating going in to Windows to rip Blu-Rays

The Pavtube Bluray ripper performs exactly as I expected and with a full disc backup of our precious Blu-rays - means we won’t have our discs scratched when they are borrowed.

Back up blu-ray movie- How to make full copy of blu-ray disc on Mac?

Nice, is there a free blueray ripper for mac? If not, I'll have to buy this I suppose. is the quality better or the same when playing a ripped blueray through the WD player?
