I just got my first mac and I am in love! I am trying to copy a DVD onto my hardrive and I was wondering how I would do that? Would I need any programs? Any Help is appreciated! Thank you so much!

I have discussed this at great lengths, but here it goes again. use mactheripper to rip to your hd, itll most likely be around 7 gb,you can only watch the movie in its ripped format, .vob files, in mplayer or vlc, I recommend mplayer.do a search in the forums for burn dvd or something similiar.

look in system profiler, if not, you can flash the drives firmware to 108-a to make it burn dual layer discs, thouigh DL disc burning is not supported in all apps.

How do I flash the drives firmware? I too want to burn dual layered discs and system profiler says nothing about the capability of burning dual layered discs. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Just curious, but you do know that you can watch the ripped films in DVD player right? File-> 'open VIDEO_TS folder'

Just checking

if I remember correctly, alll you need to do is get the 1.8 superdrive firmware update and install it.
