• 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.

good basic ripper creator program

I like to combine iPhone/DSLR/Camcorder videos into a single file to be burned to DVD for playing on computer and home DVD player to share with family (maybe a slide show too)
I want to edit that DVD recorded TV movie to remove commercials and burn to DVD for my child's viewing pleasure through DVD player and/or iMac (iPad in future, too)
I'd like to make a backup of that well-viewed purchased DVD movie.
New iMac, so no iDVD with LION.
Did not have good experience with Roxio Creator on my PC.
I'm getting bits and pieces of info from around the web, but too often it is conflicting.
Question: what should I get? Different pieces of software or a single item ? ? ? ?

Most of what you want to do can be done with a combination of iMovie, iDVD & Handbrake. Roxio Toast may make some of this stuff easier.

Completely unrelated to Toast. Two different platforms, programming languages, etc. Toast for the Mac works great.

Toast can do most of what you want all by itself. I wouldn't hesitate to go that route.

As an aside, we don't discuss that sort of thing on this forum.

I apologize for posting in the wrong forum. Forum description reads: For people making movies and editing video with their Mac. Editing video and making movies is what I want to do. I'm sure you can understand why I would have chosen this forum. Please direct me to the correct forum for my concerns. Thank you for your suggestions--I will look more closely at Mac Toast

It isn't that your post is in the wrong forum, but that we do not allow discussions of copying copyrighted material (as in purchased DVDs) at MacForums.

Razormac,
I understand. Again, I didn't mean to violate any forum regs
