I like watch lastest movie on my new Mac and it is wonderful. However I always break and lose my DVDs and I was really sad because they cost most of my money. To do this you must have a nice dvd ripper for Mac. So I find Aiseesoft.
Clarion launches new multimedia unit
New Car Net
You could almost think you were sitting at home. Direct iPod control is via the rear USB connector – offering easy operation either via the VZ509E’s touch-screen or through the iPod itself. And iPod video playback is also possible via the optional CCA723 cable. The majority of features are accessed via the fully motorised 7-inch TFT colour LCD touch-screen meaning operation is simplified. The VZ509E also offers direct connection – including touch control – to the stand-alone NP509E hide-away navigation system at a later date to deliver state-of-the-art voice and high definition map guidance.

Now you can pair your kitchen appliances with the Toshiba Stainless Style model which marries a 19-inch LCD with a DVD player. The slot-loading DVD player support DivX-format discs—a nice touch though I don’t see many Moms burning DivX movies to watch while they cook.

Toshiba goes retro with hybrid VHS/DVD recorder
Cnet Asia
This hybrid recorder will allow users to archive their tapes to DVDs in various formats from write-once -R to rewritable -RW and RAM. Like most current DVD players it also plays back JPEG files though support for MP3 and DivX is missing here. While the D-VR8K is definitely a lot less exciting than a spanking new Blu-ray player we cannot comprehend the negativity the recorder has garnered so far. Yes it has only one analog TV tuner according to Akihabara News and no it doesn’t spin Blu-ray like the Panasonic DMP-BD70V DVR. But we’re sure there’s a niche market for this 28800 yen (US$303) Toshiba kit slated for preorder in Japan come August.
