Rip DVD on Mac Using Handbrake (Freeware)

Launch Handbrake, select the DVD you want to rip by clicking Source.
After importing DVD, you will see the figure below.

Setting Introduction

1. Source settings
(1). Title: Handbrake will detect all the titles on the DVD and choose the longest title automatically.
(2). Chapters: By setting chapters’ number, you can rip a specific clip. However, this is not very user friendly, since you will have to remember what is on each chapter. If you could preview each chapter, things would be a lot easier.

2. Destination setting: Choose the folder to save ripped movies.

3. Output Settings: select the format and codec you need.
(1). Video Settings

Framerate(FPS): Select a frame rate that you prefer.

Quality:
There are three options available:
1. Specify an output size and the quality will depend on the specified output size.
2. Select a birate. The higher bitrate you choose, the bigger size the output file will be, and the better quality you will get.
3. Directly select a quality.

Encoder: Select the encoder you prefer.

2-pass encoding(optional): This takes twice as long to encode, but it improves the video quality and doesn’t make the file any larger.

Picture Settings: Here you can set video resolution and crop video. Different players have different resolution specs. For example, the highest resolution supported by the new nano-chromatic is 640*480. The crop function of handbrake is kind of like a decoration here, because it is not powerful or practical. If this function is important to you, you can refer to a different guide.

(2).Audio Settings

In this section, you can choose audio tracks and movie subtitle, as shown in the above figure.
After all settings done, click Start button to rip.

Additional: As a freeware, handbrake is a pretty good DVD ripping tool, but it’s not very stable and has quite a few bugs. If you focus on more powerful functions such as movie length trimming, video cropping, selecting DVD chapters/titles, joining/merging more than one DVD chapter/title, more user-friendly operation, or want to rip DVD’s for viewable on more mobile devices on Mac, don’t mind paying a bit extra money, professional Mac DVD ripper software are definitely worth a try, and you will also get free professional technical support from the providers.

DIY: iPod Speaker

Designer Dmitry Zagga kept his iPod speakers simple: all you need for his CupSpeakers, dubbed the “iPod Ghetto Accesory” are four white paper cups (preferably from the company cafeteria) and a couple of toothpicks to hold them together.

By his own admission, “the increase in volume, of course, is radiculous, but hey, you get stylish iPod accessory out of nothing!”

Umbrella Speaker: Oto-Shigure

Oto-Shigure, a high-tech umbrella that functions as a personal audio speaker system, gives music lovers a reason to dance in the rain. Developed by Keio University and IT company Toa Engineering, Oto-Shigure looks like an ordinary traditional Japanese umbrella made of bamboo and oiled paper, but the entire object emits sound when connected to an iPod or other portable audio device, thanks to a tiny built-in amplifier and four small vibrating motors mounted along the periphery, which effectively turn the canopy into a large speaker cone. The umbrella produces a highly localized three-dimensional sound space audible only to the people underneath, so it can be used in public without disturbing the peace.

After filing a patent application for Oto-Shigure last September, inventors Yusuke Kamiyama and Mai Tanaka worked with Toa Engineering to complete a prototype earlier this year. They are now showing it off to the public to gauge user interest. If the response is positive, they plan to begin selling the audio umbrella next year for under 10,000 yen ($100).
