A couple of months ago I bought Notting Hill on DVD. I have leant it to various people + it has got scratched! Anyway, it works fine at the moment, but I want to make a backup of it. How do I do it? Is there a simple tool that will let me do that? I am looking for a simple solution!
Got a tip for us?

Re: DVD Backup???
I don't think you're granted permission to make a backup copy when you buy the DVD.

Exactly! I don't know how we got sidetracked with legalities...
Has anyone made a copy of a DVD and how do you do it? I'd consider buying a burner if one could do this.
I found this page with the tools.

However, I could not get the extracted image to do anything. I need somone on the Mac that has done it + can give me a step by step guide.

I did try dvd backup + it did extract ok. However, I had no idea which files to select (I only selected a few - the result, it did not work) - you dont need quite a bit of the stuff on the dvd - subtitles, other languages etc. Anyway, I want to go one step further + convert the audio + video into a smaller format. Then, I can put the video onto CD. To do that, I want to use some of the other tools - eg. dvdextractor
hehehehe, so your moving away from a DVD 'backup', to ripping VCD's/SVCD's etc from the origional DVD's
DVD backup
I just download DVD backup, and it saves the entire DVD to your HD. I copied the Sopranos CD and it is approx 350MB in size, where the dvd was around 7Gigs. I played it and it works great.
Very simple operation, takes about 20 mins on a 933, 1.28Gigs of Ram, and Superdrive with other apps going. here is the link, download DVDBackup1.2. Then follow directions. You want ALL of the files on the DVD, just select the DVD and thats it. http://www.wormintheapple.gr/macdvd/download.html#DVDCopy

No, I didnt sit there and watch the entire movie, but I was flipping from chapter to chapter and everything looked good.
