Transfer/save DVD to Mac question:
Does anyone know how to save a DVD to my HD on a Mac? I have a super-drive on my G4 Powerbook, (CD player/CD burner/DVD player), I am aware that I cannot make a copy of a DVD, I just want to download the contents and be able to watch it w/o the disc.
FWIW, the DVD that I want to save is not copyrighted or otherwise protected. The contents belong to me. (Home movies, etc...). TIA as always!

You should be able to copy the contents of the disc, drag n drop.
A DVD consists of an Audio_TS and Video_TS folders. The Audio is always empty but for some bizarre reason still exists. Once copied to your HD then just point DVD player to the Video_TS folder. Handbrake can be used to convert a DVD to the proper iPod/iPhone video or other format. Does not maintain the .VOB format of a DVD. On of the fastest video converters I have found is MPEG Streamclip, also free, from Squared5
