A popular program to use in the hacker/system admin population is called "DVD X Copy". I use it all the time to copy, errr make "backups" of my dvds onto my hard-drive or put them onto a dvd-r/dvd-rw. The only problem is the software has been discontinued by the developer. There is some good news, if you use a peer-to-peer file sharing program... you should have no problem finding it. I'm not sure if its compatible with the Mac OS but there are others you should be able to find with p2p or on google.

If you use DVD Decrypter or even DVD Shrink, that would do the trick.  You'll need a burning engine as well, such as Roxio or Nero (or you can probably download a free one). My understanding is that you are allowed to make one copy under the "Fair Use" provision of the law. Although this is still a contentious issue.

DVD Shrink is the best. Powers that pee, cracked down and you can no longer get it directly from the homepage, but loads of people out there are hosting it. Google for the latest version (3.2.0.15) and you'll get loads of sites. I pasted in one below, but there's many out there.\n\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/DVD-Shrink-Download-4128.html

On the Mac OS, you can rip DVDs that you own with the program Handbrake (free) or Podner ($9.95).

If you want a program that "just works" with the click of a button, I would look to DVD95Copy. The more techie bunch of us use a combination of tools such as DVD Shrink, etc. but if you are looking for a non-technical solution, I would try theirs.

DVDDecrypter will still work for a while, use that, along with AutoGK (gordianknot). This link is a great example of how to rip a dvd efficiently.
