Testimonials
I read about this app in Mac Life magazine and purchased on their recommendation. I went to the sight and downloaded the encryption key and was ripping movies in under a minute after purchasing this app. It tooks me just under 40 minutes to load a 2 hour movie, and had it tranferred to my iPad a few short minutes later.. Extremely easy to use and does exactly what it says in the description. - Glen Cavalieri
