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.

Either Toast or iDVD can do this. You will need the divx codec for iDVD, Toast may have native support since it can create DivX DVDs. Either way, it's free from divx.com.
...or get something like the Philips DVP5140, and for about 60 bucks you'll have a very capable DVD player that will also play DVDs full of MP3s, JPEGs, DivX files and pretty much any other media you throw at it, and it can be made region-free to boot. Instead of burning a DVD with two hours of video from your DivX files, burn several of them to a DVD and you'll have access to nearly ten hours of video (or burn two hours of video to CD media instead).
