I am currently using the handbrake64 for Mac with the vlc decrypter add-in and it usually takes about the same amount of time to rip and covert to m4v as it would to watch it. I currently have about 30 of my 400 DVD,s done. I stopped buying blu-rays and DVDs since I have my Mini plugged into my 55". The good part about this is when you buy the HD version I also get the SD version for playback on my iOS devices. My wife is also able to load them on her iPad or iPod as well. I know not everyone has an HDMI comparable Mac at their disposal but this setup has been a life saver for me. I also use it to stream Netflix in HD as well, so major bonus right there!!!
