Do you have encountered such situations:Have many of DVDs,especially some favorite,however you don't know how to enjoy them on your portable devices or other hard disc.Such as on iPhone, iPhone 3G, Sony PSP, PS3, YouTube (web), iRiver PMP, Archos and PMPs;And also don't know how to share them on the Youtube,myspace etc.
Well before I also met these issues,through my friends recommended,I knew the powerful DVD Ripper for Mac (http://dvd-ripper-for-mac.com/).This kind of conversion software can help you solve above problems.In addition
to this,It provides you a series of powerful and easy to use movie edit functions such as triming,cropping frame size,merging,adjustin effect,choosing subtitle,etc.
So if you have the same trouble,I really hope my recommendation can help you.

No, you haven't been hacked.

Those morons have been spamming that DVD burning software web site.

I've come across a few of them, and have reported them to the moderators -- they then get removed.

So, what's happened is that you've subscribed to that thread, the moron spammers have spammed the thread, you've received a notification email saying someone's replied to a thread you've subscribed to. Some time in the future, you go to check the thread, but their replies aren't there as they've been removed.

I have this happen with other hobby forums. They are new members who join up and then start posting thier spam ads in the thread. Jen if you come across one of these posts at any stage just hit the little red "X" button to report them to the moderator.

Hey Jen, were you here when my Evil Twin was spreading spam via PM's??

We usually catch spammers before they can spam.
Sometimes they get through but they don't last long.

If you do see spam or a suspicious post, please don't reply to them, it only encourages them.
Just use the "Report Post" button - (red square with white x above that post) and we'll deal with it ASAP.

[erick (Eric)]

Yes, congrats to the Moderators who pounce on these when they occur.

I like to post a little sweet goodbye note to them in the the thread, then report!
