What do you have?
I mean it is hard to give an answere to this question.
But if you already have a drive that will read dvd's then you can make an image of the disk in disk utility. If not then you will have to have an external drive.
Note: Earlier versions used Disc Copy to create disk images. 10.3 now has this in Disk utility

ive got a dvd drive, I was thinking more into Divx format or somthing like that, so I could watch movies off my harddrive. would a disk image just make an entire copy of it? I was looking for somthing to compress the files. sorry I should have been more clear before. thanx again

Looking for the same thing I found something called Handbrake. I have no idea how good it is relative to anything else, but what it does is takes DVD movies and deposit them as .avi files on my desktop. You can also specify the target file size to compress to, although I haven't tried that yet. It's nice and straightforward to use, especially for me as I didn't really know what I was doing.

yep, handbrake works very well. very simple to use and gives you pretty good quality movie to watch off of your HD.
(the only problem is time. it takes about 4-5 hours on my 867 12" Pb to rip one movie...)
i've made copies of several movies with a target size of 655 MB. that way, i can save each one back on a CD-R as a backup of a backup, if i choose to. (and also since i only have a combo drive.)
forty-two is my favorite compression utility for video.
openshiiva is nice too, MP4 format.
burning encrypted dvd's is a little more complex, but quite easy, PM me if you need help.
