Question Burning Question....

I recently upgraded to an iMac and can't seem to figure out how to copy my DVDs. Seriously, sounds like such an idiotic question...BUT HOW DO I DO IT????! I downloaded an application called DVD Copy and it compresses them so much that the quality is bad. I'm looking for a freeware software, that will retain the quality of my DVDs.

Someone please help me, and honestly....be very specific as I'm an extreme newbie!

Mac the Ripper (but it hasn't been updated in awhile)

Handbrake (rip & export to most any Apple device in one stroke)

Plus many others. Good Luck.

Well, as for digitizing the DVD's, Handbrake is generally accepted as the best all-around application on our platform. You could also use Disk Utility to make a disk image of the DVD, although I won't get into that because it's usually illegal... right!

so when I use handbrake, do I need to use another program in addition to this to back it up to a dvd that I can use in my player? I'm not doing anything illegal, just backing up my dvd collection because my kids destroy everything.
