Velan Fast DVD Copy 4
Velan Software today released , its Mac OS X application that allows users to copy DVD video collections, Audio CD collections, PlayStation 2 games, DVD-ROMs or CD-ROMs without losing any quality from the original. Version 4 includes a new interface and two new modes: Rip Only and Rip & Compress, which allow users to test the resulting VIDEO_TS folder before burning the copy or to store several DVDs on a hard drive. The application can compress a dual-layer DVD to one single-layer DVD, supports all recent DVD players, removes CSS/Macrovision protection, copies multi-channel audio (e.g., Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS/THX), supports NTSC/PAL, and creates region-free DVD copies. It runs on Mac OS X (Jaguar/Panther/Tiger). A single-user license is $100, while upgrades are free.

I'm surprised that they include the removal of CSS/Macrovision protection. Aren't the movie studios gonna be upset by that?

Free Alternatives

I have used other free alternatives for archiving my DVDs. I use OSEx. It is not full featured but does rip my DVD into a full folder or just a single VOB file. The Single VOB file is useful if I want to just keep the file in my computer and play it on my TV using Roku PhotoBridge networked to my Mac. I am a little leary of paying $100 for the software I use occasionally.
