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! :cool:

Handbrake
Awesome and free!

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
