How Do You Make A Dvd Copy On Mac?

Well i have had a very horrible experience using Mac OS, b'cos any thing i have
done on this machine doesn't seem to work for me.
I will there for need some one very familiar with the operating system to send me giude lines as to how to make a dvd copy on this machine.

 

Do you want to copy a dvd onto the hard drive or do you want to produce another dvd from your original?Could you also mention what have you tried so far?(Assuming you have a legal copy of the dvd), you can copy the DVD using a software called 'handbrake'.
You can download this here: http://handbrake.fr/

This software is quite easy to use and is FREE!!

 

If you dont mind buying a program, you could use Toast Titanium.
Pretty good program, and it copies dvds, among with other things.

 

As far as I know handbrake will rip DVDs to a file on the HD. Are u sure it will copy a DVD Movie?

As for toast, I doubt a commercial app like that will enable users to copy DVD movies. I assume he means DVD movies and not DVDs he created himself.

 

I think discussions about making copies of COMMERICAL DVDS are illegal.

Does Disk Utility work for non commercial dvds? I'm not sure.

 

thanks a lot but what i really meant was that,
i have an original copy of the dvd and i want
to make a copy of it for safe keeping on another machine
so thnkssfrthmmrs dont get freaked out.

 

Did you try 'handbrake' then?

 

No, handbrake will not do what you are looking for. Handbrake simply makes a rip of the dvd.

To date, I have not found a single good piece of software that will allow you to make a duplicate that works in any dvd player. I still go back to DVD Shrink on Windows.

Though, there may be some good software on linux, and you could run that over darwin ports.

 

best option is to use windows and the current stuff that most popular for that.


im not saying any names though

 

Doesn't MacTheRipper copy the DVD onto your hard drive?

Wouldn't you then be able to take those files and either directly burn them onto a DVD, or iMovie/iDVD?

 

I thought Toast did this?

 

I tried this out, and it works, but it's not free. However it wasn't a CSS encoded DVD either...

And of course people don't lie on the internet. He brought it up because we don't want NBR to be held responsible for the comments of posters.

 

I don't remember it doing that. I thought it can only copy and dup dvd that are not movies.

It's not just burning, but you also need software to rip & compress the dvd to its files first.

Hrm... $99... very expensive. Way too expensive
Of course, since there is a certain Apple software site backup now...

 

my method in XP...

dvd decrypt to HD.
dvd shrink to 4.4 size.
burn using nero.

OSX doesnt do what a simple xp install can with that stuff. Oh, i use parallels to do it also. osx's mactheripper is ok, but doesnt work nearly as well as my xp combo.

 

there is this apple mac book g3 that a friend has and i have been trying to fix it but but after all my effort to do it on hardware all i get after my effort is A BLUR SREEN THAT

 

also comes with this symbol off an evelope
i have tried runnung mac os 9.21 on it but it does workout and this is really pissing me off

 

moldy i will like to know how run Mac os on windows
that do u run the windows first or what?

 

to copy a dvd movie to your hard drive (store it as files) use mactheripper

you can use toast to burn those files back to a new dvd (backup)

you can use handbrake to convert your dvd (files) to an ipod / itunes / other friendly format

you cannot run Mac OS on any computer other than an apple computer.
