What I'd like is a DVD-Shrink-like program to rip the VIDEO_TS folder onto the hard drive, and then something to convert the VIDEO_TS files to HuffYUV AVI files for editing in Final Cut. I don't yet have Final Cut Studio 2, which I'll be getting shortly, so if that has something of the sort with it, I'll just wait for that.
I'd also like to find a Nero-equivalent for burning .FLAC audio files and VIDEO_TS folders to DVDs, if anyone knows of anything. I figured it'd be faster and I'd get more reliable suggestions here than if I tried to search Google for hours and hours, weeding through a bunch of shit that doesn't work or works poorly.
Thanks.

MacTheRipper. Version 3.0 is in beta if you can find a copy in the wild.
HuffYUV is not Mac compatible. The best lossless video codec for Mac is SheerVideo. It's not free, but if you're able to pony up cash for Final Cut Studio, it's not that much.
Use MPEG Streamclip to convert VOB or any MPEG2 file to your codec of choice for editing in FCP.
Toast Titanium 8 is THE burning app on the Mac. It handles flac's perfectly and is what I use to burn all my discs. Version 8 is what you want.
Welcome aboard!
