Vpc

I am just about to switch after 19 years as a PC user, I never liked macs but after seeing OS X, I started to customize my PC to look like the mac but never could obtain that usability so I am switching. But I still want to use some of my PC apps through VPC, so I have a few questions for those that use VPC 6 on Panther on 20" Imac
1. I use DVDXCopy to back up my DVD's, does it work or can I purchase something similar for the MAC. And does APSI work installed on WinXP on VPC.

2. Has anyone used Digiguide on VPC.

Also is there a program that converts DIVx to VOB format for DVD.
