No, *REALLY* remember that you need to unmount the disc from Fairmount.

I keep forgetting and have to use a system utility to figure out why the
bloody hell the DVD won't eject when I hit the eject button on my
keyboard.

That's right, I don't often use Fairmount - and it's so annoying when,
for the diddly-umpteenth time, I figure out the same answer to the same
problem I met the last time I used it. Urgh. If only I had a working
memory.

I'll have to look more closely but at 100% done it doesn;t give me the
option to
quit without a warning that it's not finished I have pause and resume.
But after quiting I do have a playable MP4 which is all I really wanted.
I was expecting some indication that the 'rip' was complete and the progress
bar
would go back to 0 waiting for the next 'rip' but it stays grayed at 100%.
