you still want a ripper, since most commercial dvd's are dual layer, they're like 8gigs. You won't be able to burn that on a normal DVD-R($0.30), and would buy a dual layer DVD-R which is like $8 a pop.

Use one of the apps above and they'll compress it to 4.5 gigs so you can fit it on a normal, cheap DVD-r.

There's nothing illegal about backing up your own property. Maybe if the made DVD's more durable, or offered free replacements for scratched DVD's, then this wouldn't be necessary.

Nothing illegal about that. But what's illegal is the circumvention of encryption, therefore you're breaking US laws (DMCA). Therefore this thread is closed.
