• 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.

I have a couple of favourite dvd's i want to import to itunes but i don't know how i go about it, I thought maybe this was something fairly easy and intuitive but i can't see an obvious menu item for doing it. Whats the best way?

What kind of DVDs are you referring to? Commercial or home made?

I have a few old favourites like Star Wars, Blade Runner, 5th Element, want to put them in itunes then I can stream them to my ipod touch and watch anywhere round the house. So yes, commercial ones. I guess I have to use some 3rd party package to import them. I'm assuming since they are my own dvd's and I want to copy them to view for my own use I'm not infringing any copyrights?
