I want to back up my dvd collection, but I am not sure if my macbook will burn them. I use dvd shrink and nero on my pc to copy dvds. On the macbook, can I copy dvds out of the box ,or will I need to get some extra software to copy dvds?

you'll need something called hand brake.

I use MacTheRipper + Popcorn
MacTheRipper is the Mac equivalent of DvdDecrypter, Popcorn performs the same functions that CloneDVD for the PC does (transcoding a DVD9->DVD5 and burning).
I didn't realise that Handbrake works with CSS-encrypted discs. I may have to give that a try.

I've not used Handbrake, so I can't judge... I like the idea that it rips and transcodes; could kick those two steps off on the way to lunch and have it ready to burn when I come back.
I'll have to give that a try.
That said, I've been quite happy with MTR+Popcorn (DVD2OneX is an alternative to Popcorn, but unlike Popcorn it requires an separate burning tool).

Yes, HandBrake is not quite like DVDShrink - it does't fit a D/L disk onto a S/L disk; it just rips the content and ignores the menus and so on. MacTheRipper rips DVDs but doesn't alter them - they're only good for writing back to the same type of media.
Popcorn is what you want if you want to convert a DVD or MTR-ripped image into a S/L format from a D/L rip.

I find Handbrake good to rip DVDs into .avi files, which is completely different from what DVD Shrink does on Windows. If you want to rip DVDs to Audio_TS and Video_TS, then MactheRipper is a better choice. The beta is still slower than DVD Shrink in ripping DVDs, but I'm sure with time this little issue will get ironed out.
