Many DVD collectors may run into the problem of sharing their DVD movies with friends and backing up DVD files on their computer hard drive. Here I want to share a method of burning the MacTheRipper output files to DVDs.

As known to all, Mac The Ripper is an excellent free DVD Ripper for Mac users to extract videos from DVD to your hard drive, but the output formats are saved as Video_TS. If you would like to copy or backup them to DVDs for sharing or backuping. Here you could use DVD Backup for Mac which does not only support you to burn the MacTheRipper output file, but also backup DVD discs including DVD 5 & DVD 9.
