http://handbrake.m0k.org/\n\nHandbrake, it is the best and easiest to use program available.  Featuring modes that allow you to instantly convert the DVD to files compatible with iPods and psps, or retain the full resolution rips for use in iTunes and FrontRow.

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.

Hi there...you can do this with your iMac with  a software called Mac the Ripper: http://www.mactheripper.org/ or Handbrake http://handbrake.m0k.org/  both are freeware.

Very probably yes. Buy a DVD drive and download one of these anarchist DVD ripper programs and have at it. I believe ther is a program called AdvancedX or something that you can use for free for 30 days. But be aware this is probably illegal.

The BEST program out there is NERO 7. BUT it is NOT free. If you want something free with those capabilities, try searching on download.com

www.torrentspy.com may be able to help you out. \n\n\nI would also recommend www.zdnet.com. You should be able to find free programs there or at least demos that can help you out. Worst case scenario type this exact search criteria in the Yahoo! search bar. "DVD to .dat" "conversion" and that should lead you into the right direction as to what programs are available. =)\n\nHope this helped!

Dvd shrink. (dvdshrink.com) will decode and allow you to rip anything. . . .But only if you can download it FIRST. I don't think there is a way around that, unless you ask for permission from the website. Copyrighted items can be "borrowed" if you have permission. I would just email them and ask. Let them know what you are going to use it for, too.
