For all of you out there that Rip DVDs, how do you do it, and what is a good software to get (free). I am very interested in trying it out.

Mac the Ripper is a free ripping program. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715

In order to make backup copies, you will also need a burning solution. Roxio's Toast 7 is great and will compress dual layer DVDs to fit onto a single layer (4.7GB) DVD-R. Toast costs $99 normally but is on sale apparently for $79 http://roxio.com/en/products/toast/index.jhtml

Of course you should only be using this to make back-ups of DVDs you already own so that kids pets or whatever don't ruin your original copy.

yeah...

Use Mac the Ripper as stated above, and go buy Roxio Toast 7, it's an awesome app that'll burn almost anything.
