This rocks!
Just in time for the new Apple TV release (although I won’t be getting one).
Now I can rip movies that were sitting as Isos on my computer to a more space friendly format.
Get to converting! I loved Handbrake – and now Mediafork – for the option to create a queue of movies to convert throughout the day while I was out rather than doing one at a time.
Does anyone have another mirror? Or a copy compressed in another method? For some reason, BOMArchiveHelper doesn’t like the .bz file, and even though TheUnarchiver can decompress it, the .dmg won’t mount for me. :(
Aha, figured it out. It seems that the file downloads as a .bz2 file, but renaming it to .dmg and then mounting works. Hopefully it’ll be fixed on their end soon.
