Before I knew what I was doing I foolishly burned all of my travel video onto DVDs, mainly because that's what I had available. Of course now I have a Mac and used it to edit footage for my travel blog. What a production it was before I had the sense to get Aimersoft DVD Ripper for Mac OS. Now taking what I need off a DVD it's a breeze. For anyone like me who is far from being a tech whiz, this is the program to get.
