Three more brief questions, and Thanks for Help

[Michael McCaskey]

I very much appreciate everyone's suggestions, and all of them are extrtemely good. I used to work on things with Unix quite a while ago, but I wasn't very good at it, so I think I may be better off working in a regular Macintosh environment.

I have three questions that arise from your very helpful answers.

The first is: Are the "Mac the Ripper" software and the SnapZ Pro mutually exclusive, or complementary, or just two different tools? 

The second is: Do these both work on Region 2 DVD's? 

And finally the third: Is there a particular full-scale DVD editing etc. software package that works with Region 2 material, and either works well with, or does not conflict with, MTR and SnapZ Pro?

I plan to get SnapZ Pro right away, since what Prof. Gerow is doing with it is exactly what I would like to do.

Many thanks to you all for all the excellent suggestions, and for your promptness and kindness.
