[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1572247, member: 33722"] The application [B]makemkv[/B] will do it. It will copy the DVD, titles, menu system, etc... to a folder on a hard disk. You can then launch a media player such as VLC and point it to that folder and watch it just as you would a DVD in a DVD drive. The application will also allow you to select only things from the DVD that you want, or keep everything. NOTE: this just copies a DVD to hard disk, it will not break encryption nor will it copy a commercial DVD to a blank DVD. The resulting folder will be very large ie: 4GB-8GB so make sure you have sufficient disk space. If you use Time Machine, you may wish to exclude the makemkv output folder so you don't bulk up your backups. [/QUOTE]
