• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi

I have a Windows desktop XP SP-2 Home Edition and have always used the application DVD Shrink to rip and burn movies with it. However I've recently purchased an Apple Macbook 10.5.6 and would also like to do the same using the Mac. Is there an equivalent DVD shrink software application for the Mac platform?

This kind of thing cannot be discussed here.

Using things that you rightfully own in actually legal fair-use ways became illegal in the USA a few years back since rich old men weren't getting rich enough. They had rich old man friends in the government so they had some brandy-sipping sessions and came up with this thing called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Some guy named Darth Sidious wrote the thing up with the help of someone named Goebels.

Uh, Kevriano, some of us aren't American, it's not illegal here to copy dvd's we own as backups, or in my instance to play on my AppleTV.

Well, I'm English, but it's an American forum, and the rules state that we cannot discuss such things here.
I have plenty of answers that would do, but why risk getting a ban?
