I'm not sure that the free utility that comes with Sansa players is a DVD ripper, I think it's just a media converter. DVD rippers are different in that they take the contents of a DVD disc (which are encrypted) and dump them into a folder (or a .BIN file)

That being said, you'd have to buy a DVD ripping program no matter what video player you use, Apple or otherwise :)

There are also many free programs out there (non-Sansa) that work incredibly well for media conversion, such as HandBrake and ffmpegx. I've used both and they rock.

I've never played with the Sansa Fuze myself, but have heard it's an awesome player.

Check out DVD decrypter here at http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ before paying for a DVD ripping program. It works pretty good for me even though its it is kinda old.

Tired of waiting for your device to do what you need it to?
