• 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.

I have been given a DVD+R RW disc of my son's concert that someone recorded for me. It plays fine on the Mac DVD player - but I want to be able to copy it / download it onto my hard drive to send to my family as an email attachment. I have IPhoto '08 (7.1.5) and IMovies '08 (7.1.4) - guess part of the ILife '08 package. Can it be done? Thought it would not be a problem since it's just a home video / audio and there's no copyright / software protection issues. Would appreciate any suggestions...thanks.

Presumably it's an authored DVD, so you can just drag and drop the VIDEO_TS folder to your desktop from the disc.
If it's just a bunch of .vob files, create a VIDEO_TS folder for the, and drag them in.
