WinX DVD Ripper for Mac

WinX DVD Ripper for Mac is an all-in-one DVD ripper designed to make perfect 1:1 DVD copy to hard drive and rip your DVD movies on Mac OS to iTunes, MOV, MP4, FLV, etc that playable on iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple-TV, PSP and much more. It also supports extracting music from the DVD files and saving as MP3 format.

Requires: Mac OS X Tiger/Leopard/Snow Leopard (and apparently Intel chips).

There were some problems with the activation code earlier but I have just successfully DLed and activated the program.

Does it require Intel chips for Tiger/Leopard, or just Snow Leopard? Because I don't think Intel chips were common while Tiger was around.

Snow Leopard as an OS requires Intel chips, AFAIK.

Sadly, I can confirm that it will not run with a non-Intel chip under Tiger. I am assuming it is the G4 chip causing the problem and not Tiger.

Damn. That's unfortunate on the part of the software developers. I got a hack program installer for some software I downloaded that normally wouldn't run on a Power PC chip, and the program runs fine. I was told there are some features that won't work, but I haven't encountered them yet. So I don't think it's impossible for the developer to make the software accessible, even in a limited way, to all Mac OS X users; too bad they chose not to.
