hi there,
im not sure about isos, but you can use Handbrake to make a dvd into a .avi file. If you want to use the divx decoder, i think you need to install version 0.9.1.
a quick google search will show you 🙂

You don't own the movie - you own the right to view the movie in a private setting. Making a copy of a DVD is illegal.
It is however very easy with the right software - a Google search is what you need to do.

You could also look for MactheRipper which creates _ts files. Or simply use Disk Utility to make a full-size image if the DVD.

if i own the right to view the movie in a private setting, how come i must rebuy the movie if the original gets scratched?
you are paying for the license right? not the disk yet you will not find a single retail outfit give you a disk if you scratch yours up
or are you buying the disk as apparently even if you bought the dvd, you must rebuy it if you lose or damage the disk. in that case you should be allowed to back it up 100% imo
License is valid until you scratch it making it unreadable or until a pig fly, whatever occurs first.

Already mentioned, but condensed.
MacTheRipper - rips to Video_TS Files - used to be free, not sure about the new version.
HandBrake - it's the cats @$$, or the dogs bollacks, whichever suits you. Free, and will rip/encode to a variety of formats. (but not to native DVD format)
DVD2ONE - will take a larger capacity DVD (say 7 Gigs), and compress it (to 4.5 Gigs) for backup on a DVD-R. -- So you don't have to worry about flying pigs, or scratched discs.
Please don't steal commercial / intellectual property! It's a crime!
