Yesterday I download a music video. But the problem is it’s in .uif format, Windows-user burned it in MagicISO‘s proprietary UIF format. So, this is what I do:

1st step: Convert it to .iso using UIFtoISO (free). This software is really easy to use!

2nd step: You must mount the iso file. I use Toast Titanium (Utilities > Mount Disk Image > Select). It will work as virtual drive. If I just open it using Disk Utility, next step wont work.

3rd step: Ready to rip. First I try HandBrake (free), but from 7 videos from the playlist, I can only ripped 2 videos. This same problem appeared when I try ffmpegX (free). But, this one tell me what was wrong: not allowed, copyright laws.

Never give up! Now the third software, iSkysoft iMedia Converter. Third attemp, and it’s a success!

Little problem with encoding: when I try output file in .avi, the video and audio didn’t sync. It sync if the output is in .mov format. Couldn’t find why, but I use QuickTime for watching video, so no problem in the end. One more thing, you can change the resolution in Settings panel (see: Help > Using iMedia Converter > Editing files). The original resolution is the one in Edit panel (see: Help > Using iMedia Converter > Output Settings) and of course before you cropped it!
