This tutorial is intended to let you exercise your "fair use" rights under copyright law to either "time-shift" or "space-shift" DVD content which you may have purchased legitimately. An example of time-shifting would be to temporarily store the data from a DVD you rented so as to watch it at a later time after you have returned the disc (and avoided late fees!). An example of space-shifting would be to copy one or more DVD discs to your laptop hard drive so as to watch them while on a long airplane flight. And to also backup your purchased, retail DVD's.
Needed Files:
DVDBackup 1.3 - http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18599
DVD2OneX ($49.99 euro) - http://www.dvd2one.com/download.php
Toast Titanium (or other DVD burning software). (Version 5.2 used in this Tutorial)
Before beggining, let DVDPlayer play the movie to set the Region Code or to Verify the Region Code, then Run DVDBackup.
When you run DVDBackup drag the DVD/Movie Icon that's on your desktop into the box to add all the DVD Files to be decrypted. In the Region selection select your Region Code (USA is 1). (I have not tested the "Region Free" feature.)
By default everything is checkmarked to Remove Macrovision Protection and CSS Encryption, so leave those checked. Select "Process Files" choose your directory, let it create the new folder "VIDEO_TS".
After DVDBackup is complete you will then run DVD2OneX, you have to purchase the full version or you will end up with only 30min of play in your DVD.
In DVD2OneX click the "Select" button and open the folder "VIDEO_TS" that you just created using DVDBackup.
A side popout window will open, select the Audio and Subtitles you wish to use. And about 99.9% of the time you will want Angle 1.
Copy-
Diskcopy: This is the entire DVD, which includes the Extras and Frills(menus, etc..) If you choose this in the Ratio select Variable.
Movie Only: This is neat, it'll copy only the movie, so when you burn the DVD as soon as you pop it in it plays the movie, no menu's, etc.. When you choose this, select Constant in the Ratio.
Now Select "Start". Do NOT use the same VIDEO_TS folder the DVDBackup files are in, choose a different directory and make another VIDEO_TS folder!
After that's finished you can delete the files DVDBackup created, all you need now is the files DVD2OneX created.
Use the DVD Burning software of your choice and use the programs "Help" and search for the how-to on burning the DVD.
Make sure you leave all the files inside the VIDEO_TS folder when using your DVD Burning Software! ScreenShot attatched.
Remove any hidden files such as .DS_Store
Your DVD should work in most stand-alone DVD players.
